RFE for I-485

[remeam 1]

Oh wow...that sure sucks that they sent you something with a deadline to reply to but then you didn't receive it - but I think in either way if they are able to deliver your NOAS1 by mail and an RFE comes back it should be easy to re-open a case if it gets closed. It's not our fault for not receiving something? But yes, maybe if you have doubts it's good to call and see if somebody knows about your case at the national hotline.

Am glad to read that you got it all straightened out.

As far as your question for RFEs goes - well, it depends on your application and what is needed in addition to what you have submitted in the first place. In particular for your I-130 - again, depends on so many factors, like when is an employee working on it, how much are they working on it before they put it aside again - and just because you received one for your AOS, it does not mean that you will receive one for your spouse's I-130.

RFE's are for the IO to get some more information or a correction (like your copy of original) from you to make it easier and faster to work on your application. Some people get a bunch of them, many not a single one....

Good luck on your AOS journey!!! Happy New Year!!

Silvana, I have read that normally, RFEs do not make your application timeline totally start over. Of course, it CAN have that effect but there is a good chance that your EAD application is still holding its place in line and that you will get it approved very soon after you respond to your RFE and get biometrics. I'd still tentatively expect your EAD around 90 days from when you originally filed. They always tell you to expect longer than it is just to cover their rumps.

After much deliberation with my husband, we actually came to the conclusion that i will be better off trying to go back to school, and get a degree. So now the fact that i will have an EAD amlost like it doesn't matter much:(

my hubby told me i should go to a school, and not do the onling thing. This would mean i will not have much time to go to work, unless i find a part time job or something...but even that would be hard as i do not have a car nor a driver's licence...

Adjusting is not easy, but i know one day i will look back and i will be proud of myself for going through all this...

thank you so much for beeing on my side in this crazy journey, and helping me with so many good tips!

Man good luck...I got Approved yesterday...its a great new year for all of us...no panic....
