com plus said:RD first week of 2001, RFE (for original labor cert.) received in June 2001. Replied in June 2001, our response to RFE was recorded in the system on 31st July 2001, approved 03/26/2002 (so it took 9 months after RFE). We made numerous enqueries during all this long pending period but it appears that no matter what you do, INS takes its own time.
