So I'm waiting for my RFE Letter, and I check the USCIS website and my I485 was touched.

What do you all think is going on? Do you think they sent the RFE by accident not realizing they already sent me one? My heart just skipped a beat.

Oh and CONGRATS TO EVERYONE! APRIL's a lucky month.

Steph, I honestly wouldn't be surprised it this is what is really happening, it seems like USCIS is a big mess sometimes.

Still nothing on my end.

Oh Ella, I am so sorry. i'll send positive energy and thoughts your way.

It seems likely that they sent you the same RFE ... Well, wait for it to arrive and you'll see, but I wish that it was their mistake and your file is already back to process! Good luck, Steph0814!!!

We called UCIS again today and got several different stories. We finally got transferred to another person who siad we have to wait 30 days beyond the 75 days before they do a service request. Is that correct? Should we keep calling and hopefully find somebody that knows what they are talking about?

exactly what do you do to get a live person to talk to?

We called the 1-800 number and then you press 1, then 2, and then 6. That will get you live person. I only knew about it by somebody telling me. In the past, I could only get the automated system. Hope that helps.

Hopefully it wil be just a mistake, but 2 weeks before they sent me my RFE, they started touching my I-485 almost every day, I thought it was something good but it was that #######.

wish you the best of luck Steph, take care

To April filers who are still waiting for EAD and it's been more than 75 days since the day USCIS received your AOS and EAD applications, you might wanna try to request expedited service for your EAD. I did request expedited service for my EAD (after waiting for approximately 85 days) and USCIS approved my expedited service (although I received RFE for my AOS and it took my lawyer almost 1 month to send the evidence to USCIS). You don't need to make InfoPass, just call the customer service line. If you already wait for 90 days and haven't heard anything from USCIS, you're eligible to request for interim EAD. I hope this would be helpful.

So, just a quick update.

I got the RFE in the mail today, and its what I thought. They didn't even look at the 200+ pages of Evidence of Assets I sent them which was looked over by a lawyer. They Just sent out another RFE about the I864!

After fighting back a lot of frustration and a few tears, I do have a close friend that has offered to act as a Joint Sponsor.

Sooooo, we are starting the I864 with the Joint Sponsor and hope to get that all to them within a week or so.

Lesson learned, USCIS does not mean one thing they say on their website. If it requires them to look at any additional pages or items they are not "quite familiar with" they will send you an RFE. (I am assuming that since they are on this big "PUSH" and hired all these new people there are still "GREEN" adjucators. I seriously probably know more about some of this stuff then they do.

Ok Venting done!
