Got my beautiful pink RFE hard copy in the mail today (note the sarcasm). :angry: Sure enough, it was for 2011 tax returns and all supporting documents. Oh well, that was the ONLY concern I had when I sent it off, and I suppose things could have been worse. I'll get to work on it and send them in. Hopefully this won't delay the EAD.

I think the real waiting comes after the biometrics. That's what they said.. I have seen some timelines that have a month or so gap after the biometrics.. I've done my 3 weeks earlier than the set date.. Hopefully there'll be news soon. Good ones. Good luck!

Same here. My wife did her biometrics on June 8, and nothing. I did get an RFE for the I-485, but I don't believe that should slow down the EAD process. Frustrating.

Usually, you will hear from them between 35-50 days after the "priority date". If you're lucky, the early walk-in might help but don't count on it and be disappointed.

EAD approval times have steadily gone up for the last few months but it's still around 60 days (from priority date) which is faster than the USCIS standard. Some people, here and there, might be lucky and get it faster but we don't know if they requested an expedited process or if some other factors played in.

Ahh. Ok. Thanks! My priority date is May 11, so I should hopefully see something within the next 2 weeks. Fingers crossed.

I'm thinking we won't get an interview date until we get the RFE stuff back. Am I right on this?
