Hi... :(

Two questions here:

1. Got an RFE for the Medical because initial medical had been done more than one year ago. So ok, done that but when wanting to send it I saw that the address on the RFE itself (the PO Box the USCIS said to send the stuff to) is different than the PO Box on the envelope!!!

Now the USCIS seems to be unable to even get their own addresses straight!

So... I just sent my stuf to the address on the letter, hoping that that is the right one and that they just had a mix up when attaching the empty envelope... How about this guys... any of you had this mixup by them? If yes where did you send the RFE to? To the address on the envelope or to the address on the RFE letter itself?

2. Case got transefered to the CSC so in the past that usually meant no interview, what about nowadays?

Thanks!

:) Gwyneth

Its not that uncommon for them to use different addresses for different purposes. Personally I would use the address on the form to return the RFE, not the one on the envelope, which is no doubt for returned mail.

I agree with dr_lha and most AOS applicants transferred to CSC do get approved without an interview. :yes::thumbs:

:D Thank you dr_lha! I am glad you agree with me on the matter of where to send it. See I also thought that the address on the envelope would probably be just a common address or they just have put the wrong envelope with the RFE notice when they sent it to me. Humane error so to speak. But the address on the form I thought is the actual one because it IS on the RFE itself. So if they say that that address is wrong then why is it printed on the RFE, right? :P

Thanks again, have a great day and good luck with your process too!!!

So thank you Peter Miami for agreeing also that I made the right decision... I already sent it when I asked but then silly me started to have doubts about what I did... geez, USCIS is truly bad about that, :D they really make you feel so helpless at some times. The only time I don't stress out and am less frustrated is when I tell myself not to let them get to me. :dance:

Hopefully :unsure: I will be one among the fortunate not having to go for the interview, lol, especially not after all I had to go through already:

:devil: in short or partly only...

-did not get stamp to allow me to work in my Passport, applying would have taken 90 days, which is when the K1 would have expired anyways so it would have been just a waste of money, lol

-made SSN in maiden name

-made AZ ID in maiden name

-hubby insisted for me to get Learner's Permit instead of DL (while having driven just fine for 20 years without one single ticket) first so we could get the car insurance in my maiden name already and get used to American roads... aaarrrgghh (tell that to the illegals here that drive like maniacs here without insurance, with fake DL, if any, lol)

-got married but couldn't change the SSN because of the 14 days before my K1 expiring

(got married late because I wanted my hubby to have a fair change of getting to know me in person and me getting to know him in person too first, lol)

-changed the Learner's permit into DL (maiden name)... which was only usable for about 7 days! because of my K1 expiring

-updated the car's insurance with the DL

-after InfoPass appointment, it was confirmed that my status became "Authorized Stay By Attorney General" or to be exact "lady in between statuses that USCIS has not come up with a name yet, lol!)

-got the Medical Supplement after having had a TB skin test and a Tetanus shot

-filed the AOS and the EAD

-went to get the Biometrics done

-got the EAD (hurray?... nope. By then most good companies here with the good upper positions available asked not only for a SSN and the EAD but also for the Green Card because EAD is not proof of citizenship and my satus became again "Authorized Stay By Attorney General", lol!)

-got letter asking Biometrics to be redone, seems my fingerprints were "uncategorizable" (not unclear at all, not wrongly taken at all) by American standards (can you believe it? Millions of samples, I could not be catogorized, hello... don't protest me, protest God, lol, He's The One That created me and a lot of other people uniquely, right? Geez nobody is perfect but everybody is special and unique in his/ her own way, right?)

-so redid Biometrics (thankfully the people were very helpul and nice, kind and understanding there)

-got the EAD (hurray?... nope. By then most good companies here with the good upper positions available asked not only for a SSN and the EAD but also for the Green Card because EAD is not proof of citizenship and my satus became again "Authorized Stay By Attorney General", lol!)

-updated my SSN to my Married name

-got my DL renewed in my Married Name, only good for as long as the EAD is... (hmmm still have to update the insurance now, forgot all about it, just paid and paid and paid hehehe...) Thankfully the people at the MVD are really kind and understanding, nice and helpful always also!)

-got RFE asking for another Medical since First Medical had expired because it had been over a year

-redid the Medical

-that was the RFE we just sent in!

:D

I NEED A BREAK! WE ALL DO, LOL!

:lol:

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND AGAIN THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK TOO!
