Answer

The EEOC has 180 days to complete an investigation or you can request a right to sue letter. If you do not request the right to sue letter, then the EEOC can complete its investigation and upon completion, based upon the outcome, the employer may seek to settle at that point. The employer has 30 days to sumbit its statement, but can ask for continuances from the EEOC and the time frame then is up to the EEOC.
