It is important to remember that each case is unique, but I will generally explain how the process works after the RFE (Request for Evidence) in the context of the EB-1 visa.

After submitting the additional documentation requested by the RFE, the time for a final response can vary. In many cases, the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) may take approximately 60 to 120 days to issue a decision.

However, this timeframe depends on several factors such as the complexity of your case, the quality and completeness of the documents submitted, as well as the volume of pending cases at the office responsible for evaluating the petition.

Some important points to consider: the timeframe varies and can be shorter or longer; it is important to respond to the RFE fully and in an organized manner to expedite the review; and be cautious with information and promises, always respecting immigration laws and seeking professional guidance, avoiding miracle solutions.

Since this is a legal process, information may change according to USCIS policies and case specifics. Staying informed through official sources is essential to monitor and act accordingly.

I hope this explanation clarifies your doubts and I wish you success in your process.
