2nd week of June we got texts that both my wife & my RFEs were sent. I received RFE copy in mail 2 days later but my wife (she is primary applicant) never got it. In the meantime, our lawyer told us they got both our RFEs. So we completed medicals & EVL and sent it to them, and they returned it to USCIS. Last Thursday we got texts for both of us that RFE response was received, and online status was also updated to RFER.
Late yesterday, however, we got text/email that the postal service had returned a USCIS notice sent to my wife's (our) address & that we need to update our address to ensure delivery. Her status changed back to initial review (from RFER); btw, our address had already been updated, & we had also received EADs at new address before, and moreover I had confirmed address with them on phone earlier.
On calling, L1 said they need to update address & send me RFE again. He didn't seem to understand - despite multiple repetitions - about USCIS already having received & acknowledged RFE response via lawyer. He was going by the latest online status, which just says Initial Review (with note below saying RFE was returned by USPS). I had a hard time convincing him to connect me to L2, and eventually he did. L2 saw my file, agreed we had sent RFER, & when she checked she found TSC had sent the RFE to MISTYPED address (top line was new address, City, state, zip was old address!!). She changed address but said they have to re-send RFE to new address. Then she said we didn't have to respond to it as they already have the response, and that it won't affect our processing time - although I do not know how credible that info is.
I am really concerned that our clock now goes back to RFE notice, as the status has gone back to Initial Review (with note about RFE returned by USPS), although they had already received RFE response! Very frustrating...
