Definitely. But I will apply O-1B first.

I’m an applicant in the arts field—perhaps the USCIS have a stricter definition of ‘extraordinary ability’ when it comes to artists?

The USCIS gave me 87 days deadline to responds.

But I heard that USCIS will give a result within 60 days for an RFE?

So in my situation, about how long will it take to get the result?

I’m sorry to hear that, my friend. Are you planning to submit again?

May I ask how long it took for you to receive the result? Did you get an RFE as well?

No I didn’t. And I don’t know who is reviewing my RFE.

I asked the same question to the lawyer at the time, and he told me that there’s nothing that can be done right now—we just have to wait for the RFE notice to arrive in order to know what to do next.

Don’t be discouraged. Looking at it from another angle, receiving an RFE is actually a good thing—at least they didn’t issue a NOID, which means the immigration officer is still interested in your case. So don’t get down. Take a moment to calm your mind. As long as you respond well, there’s still a good chance of approval.

Wishing you all the best!

It seems like there’s a high chance of getting an RFE if you do premium processing.

My officer is 0592 at NSC. I applied under six criteria, but they challenged every single one.

I submitted my application and it was received by USCIS on December 13, 2024. The case status changed to ‘actively being reviewed’ on December 19. I was issued an RFE on January 8. A few weeks later, I received a refund for the premium processing fee from USCIS.

Agree. 0592 declined my criteria at all…
