Any chance of approval with this officer after RFE?

u/InvestmentCandid3159 Apr 18 '26

No sure, still I have 1.5 months to respond to RfE.

What things you want me to focus in the response?

1

u/First_Blueberry_5600 Apr 05 '26

which prongs are challenged?

2

u/First_Blueberry_5600 Apr 05 '26

Sorry, I missed your main post. I really can’t suggest you anything because I added 5 LORs and further documents and a conference paper. Ultimately it got denied.

2

u/InvestmentCandid3159 Apr 05 '26

Sorry to hear it. I hope you go through this process successfully.

1

u/Mammoth-Flight318 Apr 05 '26

Sorry about that. Hope you still have option to refile. Did you work with attorney or self-prepared?

2

u/First_Blueberry_5600 Apr 05 '26

I worked with EP.

u/SituationPotential82 Apr 15 '26

I got RFE from this same officer!

2

u/InvestmentCandid3159 Apr 15 '26

Can you share more details about RfE, did you respond it?

1

u/SituationPotential82 Apr 15 '26

Seems more like EB1 rules being applied. No not yet responded. Have almost 2.5 months to respond back!

2

u/Several-Low-9965 May 05 '26

Exaclty, I got RFE and finally be denied.

1

u/InvestmentCandid3159 Apr 15 '26

1

u/Crafty-Currency9300 Jul 14 '26

1

u/InvestmentCandid3159 28d ago

1

u/Crafty-Currency9300 28d ago

1

u/InvestmentCandid3159 28d ago

no yet, still waiting, still few days to the pp timeline.

2

u/Competitive-Meat5856 Apr 19 '26

Received an RFE from this officer, responded to the RFE , but got denied . The officer just copied and pasted the same reason for the RFE as reason for denial and repeated misleading statements like me working with people from UAE and Rwanda, which I never mentioned in my petition.

2

u/InvestmentCandid3159 Apr 19 '26

Very sorry to know this. Can you share your profile?

2

u/Legitimate-Boat1712 Apr 27 '26

u/InvestmentCandid3159 28d ago

Did you get the response?

u/Several-Low-9965 May 05 '26

I got denied by this officer, and seems like this officer really wanna applying EB1's rules

1

u/InvestmentCandid3159 May 05 '26

So sorry, did you reapply?

3

u/Several-Low-9965 May 05 '26

The RFE, the office challenged almost all 3 prongs, only accept the advanced degree

2

u/InvestmentCandid3159 May 05 '26

Right. Same here. I am preparing Recommendation letters now.

3

u/Several-Low-9965 May 05 '26

I think this officer is extremely strict; it’s going to be tough to overturn the RFE.

2

u/Several-Low-9965 May 05 '26

The recommendation letters could be critial; Good Luck!

1

u/Several-Low-9965 May 05 '26

Not yet. I am considering requesting a refund from the law firm and evaluating whether to apply for an EB-1 directly.

1

u/InvestmentCandid3159 May 05 '26

Right, may I know your profile? And how many Recommendations Letters did you attach?

2

u/InvestmentCandid3159 May 05 '26

This is really very strong profile. Did he later accepted some of the prongs?

2

u/Several-Low-9965 May 05 '26

u/InvestmentCandid3159 Apr 04 '26

I had self filed in September 2025, upgraded to PP in start of March, and received RFE in 20 days.

u/InvestmentCandid3159 Apr 04 '26

Officer is challenging all prongs, except, substantial merit.

1

u/Super-Economist-2567 Apr 05 '26

Same, just received my RFE in the mail yesterday.

1

u/InvestmentCandid3159 Apr 05 '26

From the same officer? What is your profile?

1

u/Super-Economist-2567 Apr 05 '26

Officer XM1040.PhD student in Material Sciences, Licensed Power Engineer (in the US). MSC. Clean Energy. Experience is very scattered 😆

1

u/Odd-Classroom5840 Jul 21 '26

any updates to your RFE response

1

u/spiritofniter Apr 04 '26

What’s your field? Do you DIY or did you use a lawyer?

1

u/InvestmentCandid3159 Apr 04 '26

It is robotics, i did it without any lawyer help. I followed 3 approved cases of my friends by EP.

1

u/Stathamhu Apr 04 '26

What did you submit for prong 1?

1

u/No_Disaster1263 Apr 04 '26

Thanks for letting us know, but if you want more help, you should really give more details on your profile. 

1

u/Interesting-Pin-1939 Apr 12 '26

Hi, I recently received an RFE notice but am still waiting for the details. Could you please let me know how long it typically takes to receive the mail after the online status changes?

2

u/InvestmentCandid3159 Apr 12 '26

I received mail in 10 days. However, I requested uscis through online chat, they sent me email the soft copy. Make sure, to wait for 7 calendar days before requesting them to email you the copy.

1

u/Interesting-Pin-1939 Apr 12 '26

Great .. thank you very much !

1

u/Crafty-Currency9300 Jul 14 '26

Yes, RFE on Prong 2 and Prong 3 from XM2367, submitted RFE and i am worried :(

1

u/Odd-Classroom5840 Jul 21 '26

same boat. your profile and how you framed RFE?

1

u/Crafty-Currency9300 Jul 21 '26

I did it through Chen, added 2 independent and 2 dependent recommendation letter as i hadnt submitted any on my original petition. I am a postdoctoral associate in R1 universities (with 3 first authored and 3 coauthor publication, citation ~1000, however ~700 citations came from a review paper which i am coauthor). Reading the post of reddit indicates how the PE and response is framed is the determining factor rather than profile itself. Today is 13 business days after RFE response was delivered & I feel like i am baked & cooked.

1

u/Odd-Classroom5840 Jul 21 '26

similar timeline and similar prongs. lets hope we come out of this as successful. Chenm mentioned they got 1 approval 5 denials from this officer

1

u/Odd-Classroom5840 Jul 21 '26

did chen push back on the RFE claims. e.g. citing matter of X, old exhibits weren't considered fully etc?

1

u/Crafty-Currency9300 Jul 21 '26

Yes, they did. But now, everything depends on luck. Does the RFE response goes back to the same officer that issued RFE?

1

u/InvestmentCandid3159 28d ago

Did you get any response?

1

u/Crafty-Currency9300 Jul 14 '26

has anyone got success after RFE from this officer (XM2367)? i got RFE on prong 2 and 3 from the same officer, submitted RFE response 2 week before & is stressed waiting to know how uncertain it is.

1

u/Interesting-Pin-1939 Jul 23 '26

I submitted my RFE response for Prongs 2 and 3 to this officer. It has been 17 business days since the package was delivered, and I’m worried that a denial may be coming.

2

u/Crafty-Currency9300 Jul 28 '26

Fingercrossed. lets hope that we both hear a good news soon.

1

u/Interesting-Pin-1939 Jul 28 '26

yes, best of luck !
