Request for additional information

[man1234 7]

 

Hi , I received note , and I have some questions 1- what this means ( note we hired lawyer )? Is that missing documents from our side ?

 

 2- how long it take to hear back from them after we submit the additional information.? 

 

On August 13, 2019, we sent a request for initial evidence for your Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, Receipt Number ************. The request for evidence explains what we need from you. We will not take action on your case until we receive the evidence or the deadline to submit it expires. Please follow the instructions in the request for evidence. If you do not receive your request for evidence by August 28, 2019, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.”

Your lawyer will have received something from them in the mail. Time is running out. You need to get the additional documents to them by August 28 or you risk your petition being denied.

The way I read it just means that they should request an official letter if they don't receive one by August 28, not that that's their deadline, no? But yes OP your lawyer will receive a letter stating what USCIS needs from you and you will have to respond to them with what they request before the deadline stated on the letter
