Likely because of the long weekend?

Probably but it’s been 2 days even after the long weekend

My status didn’t change after submitting RFE response and one fine day I got the approval notice from the lawyers.

Ohh, that’s awesome. Do you mind me asking when was this and which service center?

It was Vermont service center and the timeline was last year around October.

It could take 2-3 months to answer an RFE. Hope your company has immigration specific lawyers, specialty occupation is one of the most common reasons for RFE. Website can take time to update even if sent overnight also, fyi

Ya it did take 2 months to reply, but they sent their reply last Thursday and the status still shows RFE received, that’s why I was concerned

I had got specialty occupation RFE at the California service center. It was approved on the 8th day after the RFE response was submitted.
