RFE Notice

[RichardS 0]

Hi:

Got electronic notice that RFE was sent by USCIS yesterday (November 10).

From what I gather, I assume this means it is the biometrics appointment?

Thanks for any thoughts....

Yep - you should receive the biometrics letter this week.

Hi RichardS,

As told in-person by an immigration officer to me (in Buffalo, NY), when I inquired about the exact same thiing:

Question: I received a Case Status Information Update/RFE, by e-mail, dated September 22, 2009, with the following message: “we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information…the case will be in suspense until we receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires. Once we receive the requested evidence or information and make a decision on the case, you will be notified by mail.” I have not received such a notice by mail, as of today, and would like to know if and when I will receive such a notice. I also have already submitted 100+ pages of additional relevant joint evidence with my initial application, and find it quite puzzling that the USCIS would require more evidence for my case. I would also like to know what is requested of me additionally, which I will gladly provide it to you if required and I have such evidence requested, so that my case can be further processed and not delayed.

Answer: "Your RFE e-mail is your fingerprints/biometrics letter. The additional evidence we request is your fingerprints to be processed and checked out by the FBI. Did you get your fingerprints letter (I said yes, and showed her the letter)? And no, you won’t be getting any additional letters for an RFE as the date of your fingerprints/biometrics letter is the same date as your RFE e-mail (which it is, as both are receipt dated September 23)."

No need to panic, yet, just wait awhile longer, and see what happens next....It could either be the 'infamous RFE/fingerprints/biometrics letter' (which more likely than not it is), or it could be something else (like an actual RFE, which vj user Lansbury got..in which you will have to reply accordingly to...).

If you don't receive anything in the next couple of weeks, then you should inquire about your case further with an infopass appointment, and/or calling the mis-information/customer service phone number, to inquire further about your case....

Hope this helps. Good luck on the rest of your immigration journey too.
