Good day, one quick question: our application is in CSC and they sent us this RFE, it's disappointing as we were hoping to receive our NOA2. Anyway, how long does it usually take to get a result after sending them what they requested for? Thank you! :)

Ours was fixed within 30 days of sending it in. Still received our Visa within 10 months.

can i have my wife call USCIS to pressure them to give the final response to our Case? We made a expedite lastly and i am pretty sure that is why they went to our case, reviewed it and noticed that something was wrong. My wife is having complication in her pregnancy and i can not sit here and waiting. I see some cases being taken 2 months to be completed ( including visa approval ). How can i pressure them? we faxed a document to her Senator. What can be done people?
