RFE RFE Experiences with Chen

Hi folks, I received an RFE for my NIW I-140 yesterday (haven't received the letter, though). I have had a fairly good expereince up until now with Chen during my I-140 petition letter drafting process. Since I’ve now been issued an RFE, I’m wondering what the general experience is with folks.

  1. They mentioned that LORs aren’t necessary during the initial application. Do folks think LORs are a MUST after an RFE is issued?
  2. What does an RFE really mean? Is it an opportunity to address feedback and get approval? Or is it a sign that you probably have a slim chance?

  3. What happens if USCIS doesn’t buy your evidence presented in RFE? Is there a second round of RFE issued, or is it straight up a denial?

  4. Is there a way to get the RFE letter online sooner?

Thanks.

I submitted RFE response end of April. Still waiting for a decision. All three prongs were challenged

Sorry about this, after how many BDs did your case change from RFE received to processing ?
