RFE vs RFE for Initial Evidence

[DAMC18]

Hello everyone,

Is there a difference between an RFE and an RFE for Initial Evidence? If so, what is the difference and does it delay my application?

Thank you for your help.



Here is my timeline:

Petitioned by daughter who is a US citizen and we both live in the US.
2-12-18 USCIS received my I-765 and I-485
2-20-18 USCIS accepted my fingerprints
3-21-18 USCIS received my response to RFE for I-485. NBC working on the case
7-30-18 USCIS sent request for Initial evidence for I-485. NBC working on the case
8-9-18 USCIS received response to RFE for I-485. NBC working on the case
8-14-18 USCIS ordered new card – I765 EAD
8-16-18 USCIS mailed your new card – I765 EAD
8/20/18 received new EAD/SS Card
Every two weeks I received an automated email stating “We are still reviewing your case and there are no updates at this time. We will notify you when your case status changes. We last took action on your case on August 13, 2018.”

I believe RFIE is evidence you should of sent with the initial packet eg taxes, birth Cert Marriage license form 94. RFE is further evidence. Maybe evidence to strengthen your case . maybe more bank statements than the last one something like that. RFIE I believe does hold your case up a little as they need evidence to move it along. don't know about further evidence though.
