A second RFE, on the same case — what changed the second time

Received a second RFE after my first response, on a genuinely different point than the original objection — wanted to share this since most RFE posts here describe a single round, and a second round has its own particular dynamics. The relief of having already been through one RFE response cycle was real — I knew the mechanics, had my objection-categorization habits already established, and wasn't starting from a place of total unfamiliarity with the process the way the first one had felt. What was harder the second time: managing the psychological weight of "I thought I'd addressed everything" resurfacing, even though the second RFE was about a genuinely separate point, not a failure to address the first one properly. What I did differently: treated it with the same systematic rigor as the first (objection categorization, mapping to specific evidence, a structured response), but tried consciously not to let the emotional weight of "another RFE" affect the quality of the actual response — the second RFE deserved the same careful, un-panicked treatment as the first, even though it felt more discouraging in the moment.
