Time from RFE to Interview?

[PantomimeGoose 59]

So we've received an RFE (co basically read the wrong dates on our bank statements and said they didn't cover the period of the marriage). We don't have a huge amount of additional financial evidence, but are capable of deluging them with personal proofs and a few other financial things. We should have it in by the end of this month at the latest.

We're hoping we don't get an interview, but my question is, if we do, how soon do they tend to respond and is the date flexible? I have to go on 3 substantial international trips for conferences and research for my PhD this year (Nov/Dec and possibly February or spring). Obviously my husband's visa is of paramount importance, but I also don't want to endanger my scholarship or graduate any later....

Would it be smart to submit dates/evidence of my travel with the RFE? How long does it normally take for them to schedule an interview?

From my interactions with USCIS, my guess is - there's no way to tell.

There's not even any guarantee there will be an interview. Sending the right bank statements might be enough to make them happy.

And I doubt you can finesse this so finely as to target a particular week or even month for the interview. Just send it in and if it conflicts with a necessary trip, try to reschedule.
