So we got an e-mail today that we have an RFE. OH, might not pick up mail for a week, and I'm concerned how long we have to return whatever evidence is needed. Anybody have any ideas on the time frame they give you?

The e-mail said to call them if I needed info....so I did......oh Dear I got "Agent I'm not having a good day".........who refused to tell me anything, but did say there is no extension to whatever time limit is given. If it's not sent in time, you get a denial........

I'm not sure I believe this, as elsewhere on the forum someone else mentioned they let USCIS know, there was a delay...and by advising them the case was kept open.

Any opinions?

Oh, and out of interest.......I got through to a live agent in 30 seconds, and yes you can call in from the UK. (just answering previous queries I've noted)........I put the 1-800 number into Skype and got a USA number to call.

Oh, and if it doesn't accept your receipt number, you have to put the 3 letters in as numbers..........this is not made obvious to you. Well not to me.....but I am blonde.

You should be given around 84 days to respond.

The call center never tells you what it is. You have to wait for the mail.

They could deny the application based on you failing to prove your case with evidence. BUT they are giving you a second chance to supply additional evidence. If you don't reply in time, they can assume you have abandoned and deny. If on your second chance (the RFE response) you still fail to give them what they need to approve the case, then they can deny because they don't have what they need to give approval. Don't count on them giving you a third chance, even though some may have been so lucky.

So get it in on time and get it right.

I don't know if different RFE have different time frames but mine was about 12 weeks from the date of the notice. The letter actually had a printed date by when I needed to have replied by. So yea about 84 days may be the standard time frame.
