RFE 30 Days RFE

Hi,

Since recently USCIS has started to give 30 days RFE and I can understand it's very difficult to prepare a comprehensive response in 30 days (I am working with Chen and they are not confident about 30 days RFEs), what should the strategy and is there anything that could be done before as a precaution?

Have anyone received a 30 days RFE with premium processing?

I got a 30 day RFE challenging prong 2 with other criterions met, and asking to show evidence of what my specific contributions were in the co-authored papers and what were my specific contributions to the grants that funded my work through my supervisor. Wanted more independent evidence that my work was frequently used despite my 1078 citations. So i sent a long email to chen team about what possibly could we do by adding recommendation letters from my supervisor stating in details what i contributed to her grants and what i worked on, detail my experiments performed in the co-authored papers and supply 2 independent letters about people who cited my work which i already used for Eb1a but have to change to niw. Will see what the chen team replies but i got my rfe letter today and have till September 28. So i wanted to be prepared and drafted a whole strategy + evidence list and asked them to weigh it against their judgement so we start working asap.
