here is my other post:

Hello VJ friends...

On sept 13, I filled for I-485 and EAD, I did a walk in fP on Oct 14. On the oct 15 my case touch online, after that i never hear anything back.

Then, last week, Dec 14, i called USCIS to ask why was taking so long, and the guy said that he was going to make a service request, and i should hear something within 15 days. That same day, i got a txt msg and email, saying that they had just sent me a letter requesting for evidences.

I got this letter yesterday, and this morning i sent it back to them with all the documents requested.

But i just got home, and i got another letter from them, and i almost cried thinking that was my interview date, but when i open the letter, was two pages. One dated on Dec 15, saying about my service request. And down in the letter there's a place that says:

The status of this service request is:

Our record indicate that we are awaiting your response to our request for additional eveidence on this case. Your case is currently in suspense or on hold until we receive your response. A copy of the additional evidence is included for your information. Please follow any instructions on that notice.

Ok, here is where i almost died: The request evidence copy that is attached to this letter, is dated on OCTOBER 18.

yesss....two months ago..and i NEVER got it!

Now, i just called them..and the stupid guy had read all of that things they had to read and transfered me to another customer representative, and this one said, that i cant ignore USCIS, and i have to re-send all the request for evidences again. Even if a sent one today (they should be getting it thursday)....

Oh men, I'm sooooooooooo mad! I had a huge expectations saying inside me, that i was going to be able to be with my family for Christmas, and then a couple of weeks ago,,,i was kind of accepting that this was way too impossible..and now seeing that because of their mistake, i cant be there...and i did not got not even my EAD, is sooo frustaded....dannnnn ....i'm so mad.

SO, what do i do? sent it again tomorrow? Write a letter with it?

thankss

Damn, that's terrible. I wonder why they didn't text or email you on October 18th about the RFE. It seems like they're forgetting to update their system.

Their system is so cracked! Oh im so disappointed!

[Anna and Ali 13]

well, our 15 minute chat with an immigration lawyer proved quite fruitful yesterday.

He said our hold-up might be that I missed a key notation that we couldn't use Ali's father as our co-sponsor for our RFE because he doesn't actually reside here even though he works in New York for part of the year.

So oops, that means on my way home from work I have to stop and get my parent's tax returns and have them sign the AOS paperwork that I filled out for them in a panic today.

I will mail it out in overnight mail tonight or tomorrow and then pray to the angels that they have not denied us already due to this oversight on my part.

Pretty much burst into tears once I got out of the lawyer's office because what will I do if we are denied?

[Ste 6]

I just checked my I-485 status online and there's an RFE.

I think I may know what it is. My I-765(EAD) case number still says case not found.

Question: If there's an RFE on my I-485 application then it shouldn't also hold up my EAD process, right? I've been waiting almost three months already.

Yesterday, I got an e-mail update: USCIS registered my permanent resident status!!!!

The interview went well on Tuesday, but we were not approved on the spot.

Thank you God!!!!

I am free of USCIS for 2 years...

Hi, I can't believe this things happen.

I have a question: Is there a stamp outside the letter with the date that it was received by the Post Office? Check...that will confirm to you when was received by the post office. Hopefully it will say Dec. If it says that, you have prove that they made a mistake on mailing it late.

HOwever, if it says Oct, you can go to the Post Office and speak to the Postmaster and tell him or her that you just received this in the mail and you were suppose to get it way early because of the stamp and the date on the letter. You can also ask the postmaster to write you a letter for you to send USCIS explaining that the letter was drop late to your address.

Ahhhh....that's sucks! I know that it has been a waste of time not knowing that you had an RFE [i also got an RFE on Dec 1st when I sent the AOS package in Sept. 15th]. But at least you are still inside the 87 days they give you to reply.

I know you already send what they need it. I would of also send a well-written letter telling them that I never received the first RFE in the mail or e-mail.

I know what you are going thru about spending Christmas without family. We have the same story.

I just checked my I-485 status online and there's an RFE.

I think I may know what it is. My I-765(EAD) case number still says case not found.

Question: If there's an RFE on my I-485 application then it shouldn't also hold up my EAD process, right? I've been waiting almost three months already.

I think they don't touch the i-765 until they have everything they need, even for the I-485- is all together.

They didn't touch the I-765 until they received the RFE for the I-485. Now my status says: EAD is in production.

I think you are going to hear something from them tomorrow Friday (Dec 23) or Tuesday (Dec 7th) the latest. By next week they should transfer your case. I really think that by the middle of January you should have in your hand your GC and EAD card. Unless, they ask for more evidence. Hopefully they won't ask

Hey nagilavanci,

We are together in this. Lets hang in there :-)

I truly believe that it wasn't our time to spend Christmas with the family. And that something better is waiting for us.
