Hello,

I don't know what to do anymore. My RFE was being ander review since May 8th. Still no updates, no nothing. I didn't not apply for EAD/AP. When I called USCIS to find out about my case they have just said to wait. Soon it'll be 4 month since I sent out AOS papers.

Can anybody please tell me what to do?

Its so frustrating . I run like crazy to a mailbox and still there is always nothing...

There is not going to be an update, so I am not sure what you think should come. If you didn't apply for AP or EAD then you are just waiting for an interview letter.

Check the processing times for your local office at uscis.gov and see how long it is taking to get interviews.

AOS for my husband
8/17/10: INTERVIEW DAY (day 123) APPROVED!!

ROC:
5/23/12: Sent out package
2/06/13: APPROVED!

That's what I'm waiting for a letter. Just have to be more patient. Mine is processed at NBC and there is no processing times for I-485 for family based.

Thanks for a reply

No. Your file will be transferred to your local office when they have openings. The timeline for your whole case is based on the local office timelines. As I said, check there. Your case may be at NBC now, but it is sitting there waiting for an interview opening at your local office.

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").
