Dear visa journey friends,

I need your help.

My husband and I sent out my adjustment of status, less than a month later we received an RFE that was replied super quickly. I would like to know if due to my RFE the AP and EAD will take a longer time to be received.

My timeline here says that I will be receiving the AP very soon and I would LOVE to buy a plane ticket to visit my family in the end of August. Should I wait to buy the ticket?

Thank you in advance!

xoxo

The clock stops ticking the moment they issue RFE and until they receive a response to review it.

Looks like you're adjusting from a K-1, which I'm not very familiar with so I don't know if they have the same timelines as AOSing from a different visa. But, from what I've seen, the amount of time to get your EAD/AP can vary greatly. You'd be taking a risk if you book a ticket now. If you do, make sure it's refundable.

Thank you so much for the quick reply. It wasn't exactly what I wanted to "hear" (hee hee) but I appreciate your help! :star:

Yes wait before you buy your ticket!!!!

Thank you for the tip! :thumbs:

I am so silly, I thought the RFE would not influence my EAD/AP...

:unsure:

Thank you for letting me know the truth!

I am in a similar situation ! I sent everything and in less then a month I got RFE, I sent back the RFE requested and it has been a month since I took the finger print and no case update!

The only thing I got after I replied my RFE was an update on USCIS website saying that on June 26th 2012 they received my response.

Waiting 60 days to know if they ACCEPTED my response is very stressful...

I don't wanna sound like one of those people that cry and cry and complain here, but I miss my family and would love to see them ASAP... :(

I wish u the best on your process!

Best regards,

Rebeca

You mean it took 60 days for USCIS to update your electronic case status to "response to RFE received"? 60 days after confirmation of the delivery of response?

Did you send it to local or regional service center?
