I also had an RFE. It was obvious that they didn't even read my statement or look at the documents because they asked for things we included in the file. It's stressful and annoying. The only good thing about this situation is that you have a chance to submit even more proof and make your case even stronger. My spouse got an additional evaluation from an expert who has dealt with government institutions before. My lawyer previously advised us that this evaluation was unnecessary because he believed our case was strong and self-evident. Also in my case, my lawyer added to the pressure by dragging his feet and being unresponsive, sending in the additional documents at the last moment. So if I could do it over again, I would check in with my lawyer sooner asking for progress updates, instead of trusting that he will work on my case as he promised.
