I received a Request for Evidence from USCIS in March 2023. I sent them the documents the next month and they approved my RFE. How much after such approval is USCIS expected to send my EB-5 case to NVC?

I recommend following up with the NVC and USCIS consistently to make sure the approval is forwarded to the NVC.
