Information is needed, they will send an RFE (request for evidence). If they need, you should send it promptly. Once the review is successfully completed, you would be approved. Now this is just based on my understanding of the process. I’m not professing to be an expert here. Having said this, the processing time and approvals varies, Some people get approved very quickly, and others takes a while, even though their applications have no issues. Good luck with your application!
