How do Requests for Evidence (RFEs) or Notices of Intent to Deny (NOIDs) impact the calculation of processing times that are posted on the website? Would the calculation of processing times stop when an RFE or NOID is issued and then resume when the petitioner submits the requested documentation?

USCIS Response: Processing times are calculated based on the volume of active pending cases at each office or center. Cases on which a Request for Evidence (RFE) or Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) has been issued are removed from the active pending totals and put into abeyance awaiting response from the customer. Once the requested information is received from the customer the case is reinserted into the adjudication workflow and becomes part of the active pending volume that is used to calculate processing times. It is pertinent to note that processing times are calculated based on the total volume of cases at an office or center rather than on specific applications/petitions. Therefore, published processing times may not reflect the elapsed time for any one particular applicant/petitioner.

http://www.uscis.gov/tools/ombudsman-liaison/ombudsman-teleconference-qas/cis-ombudsman-teleconference-application-processing-times-conversation-uscis-wednesday-april-27-2011

So basically, if they issue an RFE to you, even if your case doesn't actually require it, they get additional free time to process your case, which does not contribute to the total processing dates. That time that they were dealing with your RFE does not count towards the total processing time of your case, nor towards the average processing time listed.

Gee, I wonder why they're issuing stupid RFE's.

Finally got our approval at 7:15 this morning. Timeline updated as well. I kinda figured NSC would take the full 60 days but they didn't. My transfer was 43 days in. For those waiting I hope your approvals come soon as well, that way you too can be one step closer to being complete again.

It means that it got shipped to the NVC. But I would hold off on calling, there's no way they got your case on the same day it was shipped to them. Go check the first post in the NVC thread and you'll get all the info you need for the next step! Congrats!

I am sure there are filers on this thread that are still not transferred or those that got approved without transfer....Hoping to investigate and see what cases that stay at NBC have in common especially when everyone else seems to be getting transferred, left right center.... This is for months of Feb, March, April, May, June, July for now that have had active regular transfers for all...not just certain exceptions such as Philippine beneficiary. We can add August and after months once it's established that they are seeing regular active transfers as well. Hope you all have some input in this thread http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/475552-non-transferred-cases/ and add your case details on this spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqbNd1-VjCT-dE90M3pYX0Q4NEZnUXhhSy1PRVlQY3c#gid=0 that is tracking cases that have stayed at NBC (approved or not) and never transferred.

I know it must be frustrating to say, well why mine is not transferred. Hope to find some sense as data collects but knowing USCIS logic...maybe not...but going to try.
