My attorney (Employer) Responded to RFE within the timeframe and status is updated to "Response To USCIS' Request For Evidence Was Received" and its been 6 days so far with no update further, usually online i found that status will be updated to Actively been checked in a couple days. What can i do, Waiting is to much of pressure.

Maximum waiting time after - "Response To USCIS' Request For Evidence Was Received"

Those who received their decision on I-485 after submitting RFE for MEDICALS, can you please update your maximum waiting time after your case status changed to - "Response To USCIS' Request For Evidence Was Received". I see lots of posts. However, people do not come back to their posts after their I-485 is approved. My case is currently at NBC and my priority date is current. I am EB2-NIW ROW. #I485 #I693 #USCIS #Approval #EB2NIW #EB1 #NBC

Since I-485 RFE Response Submitted

I’ve got my RFE on Feb 2023 and Submitted those on March 7 2023. There was no update since then until 9/19/2023. I submitted those via only online accounts and finally got an update saying “Response received on Tuesday, September 19, 2023 at 2:25 p.m. EDT. We will review the evidence.” in the detail below. Still the main status is saying March 7, 2023 “Response To USCIS' Request For Evidence Was Received”. I talked to a Emma agent this morning and he said the last update is they reviwed it on 9/19/2023. I know this sounds hectic, but anybody has had simliar situation?? I’ve already got my combo card in June 2023. I wonder how fast they update status once they say it’s reviewed. Sharing any thought would be appreciated.
