Congrats!

congrats to everyone. it seams like there is progress here.

I did get my biometric letter on Sat however today I just saw that I have an RFE with form I-485. I hope it is not something complicated. I am calm and learned to be patient. Did you reply to your RFE already?

Ugh. I'm afraid to check my case status online.

I got into that trap with the initial petition...checked compulsively.

Doesn't make it go any faster...just got me stressed.

I may check every now and then but...

I'm sorry you got a RFE. The few days that you have to wait for the letter are the worst cause you keep wondering what it could be! I hope for you that it's an easy fix.

I haven't replied to my RFE yet. It was about the affidavit of support and I had to find a joint sponsor because they said that my husband hasn't been working long enough. I found my joint sponsor last week and I sent him the I-864 form and instructions. I'm waiting for him to send everything back to me. I'm hoping to mail my RFE response next week. Good luck to you and keep us posted!

Yes I understand that!! I was the same with the I-129F too. I was checking several times a day and the only day I didn't check was when I got my NOA2!! Now I'm just checking once a day, usually in the morning when I wake up. Trying to be patient... It's hard though cause we don't have much to do!!

Ugh. Agreed. I mean it's excitement when I go to the grocery store.

Hahaha same here! I go to the grocery store every day and that's basically the only time I get out of the house during the week.

Yep. There's a bit of loopiness going on. And it's usually too hot to do much baking or impressive cooking - dinners either been grilling or in the slow cooker cause I haven't wanted to stand over the stove lol

I love to cook so since I have a lot of time I try to cook nice dinners but sometimes it gets so hot!! Since we have a small appartment, it gets crazy hot when the oven is on lol. I can't wait for the weather to cool down. I like to go for a run/walk too but it's been way too hot for that. Unless you go early in the morning but I don't wake up early since I don't have to!!

[pro_star 52]

Yep I hear that!

Come on I come from a people who live in igloos and keep polar bears for pets! (Or so we tease)

Just checked the status of my case: I-485 is still in acceptance step, while I-131 and I-765 are already in initial review. Is this normal to take longer for the AOS? Or should I be worried?

No worries! It's the same for everyone. From what I've seen, it seems like I-485 stays on acceptance status. Mine went from acceptance to RFE. It was never on initial review.

There's a lot of days where I melt into a puddle of maple syrup lol.

The hubs has been told on a couple occasions "it's too hot to cook".

I'm honestly looking forward to "winter" when it will cool down to a bit more reasonable but I am getting a bit better with the heat I think.

got my emails and text. kinda weird because i only receive 1case number in text message (should be 3 for me and 3 for my son) and got 5 instead of 6 emails. is there a possiblity that they forgot to send me the other email?

i am very anxious to know

LOL It's been really hot here in Georgia too. I hate it when you step outside and 2 seconds later you're already sweating! It's starting to feel better though. My husband should be used to it but he still hates summer!

That's weird! Maybe something got messed up when they sent the emails and texts. Have you checked on the USCIS website to see which one you're missing? Is the case number in the text message one of the 5 case numbers you got in the emails?
