help !

I messed up !

I had a VERY busy day and was big time stressed in getting our AOS package down to the postal office in time to send it away before they close... when i got home i saw that i had forgotten something ! my birthcertificate was on the table !!?

My question is if anyone has any knowledge/experience on sending a missing piece of an AOS package the very next day as an ADDENDUM very ergent type thing and NOT having to wait for an RFE = 60 more days of waiting... ((

It was a very stupid mistake i made and i called USCIS to talk to them and the first lady i talked to was not helpful at all and said i would have to wait for the RFE and that ment delaying our application about 60 days.. then i talked to another who was more receptive and said that i can allways try and to attach as much evidence as possible to wich case it was about.. a.s.o

uuuuuggghhhhhhh

You have nothing to lose, except the b.c. copy and mailing costs, so if you really want to - go ahead and mail it to the USCIS. But, it is my understanding that as the service center receives your package it is first checked to see if the correct payment is enclosed. And, if so, puts your package in line with everybody else. And, when someone gets to your package, 6 months or more later..., it will be noted that your b.c. was missing and you may receive an RFE. But, I don't think the second package you send with your b.c. will be included with your initial package. That would require someone with knowledge and skills to put your two packages together. I could be wrong...

Best of luck!

Sorry, but you will have to wait for RFE. It is very unlikely USCIS will match your birth certificate to your original petition if you send it now.

ok thanks for answer

The biggest issue right now is the EAD, we dont want ot have to 60 EXTRA days for that ! do you think its possible to just send in another EAD application and pay the $380 for the EAD ?

We sent in the I-765 with the AOS now and that will be draging along with the rest of the application, The Green Card is not the most important thing now.. its the EAD and me beeing able to WORK !

[Tygrys 143]

I don't think RFE for a birth certificate will add 60 days to AOS processing, but with USCIS you never know.

I-765 itself does not require birth certificate evidence, so as long as your applications are accepted and NOAs issued, this omission should not make your wait for EAD any longer.

On the other hand, because the birth certificate is an initial evidence for I-485, it may just happen (although IMO is unlikely) that your entire AOS package will be rejected and returned to you.

ok thanks for that answer !

i can allways hope that it doesnt effect the EAD..

You posted in the China forum. That forum is for talking in Chinese and/ or asking questions specific to China. As your question is not country specific, and can be answered by anyone with AOS experience, I moved it to the general AOS forum.

[MIke n Heather 8]

Oh.. ok, THANK YOU

Im not really getting this forum posting thing good thing there is people who can help !

im really hoping that my mess up does not affect my EAD application, because we NEED that work permit !

Would it be possible to contact the post office and have them stop the mailing and have it returned to you? Probably a long shot, but it is worth a try.

I received an RFE for birth cert but it did not delay my EAD. So don't worry.

[MIke n Heather 8]

So your EAD didnt get delayed? how long did it take for you to get it ? and how much longer was the rest of the package delayed =?

thanks for answer

Wait for the RFE, simple fix and should only delay if any by mailing time. The biggest hassle is checking, checking and rechecking all the paperwork.

If you get an NOA1 (instead of them sending the whole package back), I would mail the BC then with a copy of the NOA1 and an explanation. They might not accept it and might still issue an RFE but perhaps it'll get matched up & doesn't cost much to try.
