My observation and my discussion with some lucky friends make me believe that the gap between the RFE issue date and the RFE response receipt date is a very important factor as it sets a new priority for one's case.
If one responds within two weeks, chances for getting approval within a month improves drastically; however, if the gap is more than a month, chances for hearing-good-news-soon decreases drammatically (I guess, INS has an unwritten policy that states that if they don't receive the response soon, the applicant does not deserve a quick approval.)
This is just an observation and this theory holds water if you look at September and October '01 approvals. With this in mind, let's start a discussion thread with participation from not-yet-luckies who took more than a month to respond to RFE.

My details:
RD: 08/30/01
ND: 09/28/01
RFE issue date: 12/03/02
RFE received by NSC: 01/10/03

Thanks... In the end, it will be all good.

Also,
I was following up a random case on online status.

LIN0202150035

This case is an ND Oct 26 2001 case. It was issued RFE on Jan 10th and RFE response was received on Jan 30th 2003.
The case was approved on Feb 8th. Check it out.
Why can't NSC approve cases in order they issue/receive RFE/RFE responses.
I feel this is grossly unfair.
 
A case otherwise!

My RD is 8/21/01
ND is 9/21/01
RFE recd : 12/4/02
RFE replied : 12/19/02
and am still waiting :mad:
 
There is no specific pattern at INS in approvals. I reponded in 2 weeks and waiting from last 5 months. It all depends on officer in INS looking ur cases.

Thanks,
 
RD 06/01
ND 07/01
1st RFE 07/02..RFE Response received by INS 08/01
2nd RFE 09/02....RFE response received by INS 11/02

Talked to IIO 01/29/03
File assigned to officer...01/13/03 (EAD for my wife as well as our I485)

EAD approved as per online status which I checked yesterday. Have stopped checking online status recently as was tired of getting the same message...

Still waiting for approval...
