I-485 I-765 Questions

[The Batman 0]

Hello everybody,

My name is nick

and I'm new in this forum.

I recently got married and I recently submitted all the required paper works for my AOS.

But i would like to see if I can have some answers and suggestion from you guys based on your experience because thought this all process I got a little bit confused and frustrated.

First questions.

After I submitted the paper work on September 5th I received 3 NOA (I130,I131,I765).

Now my questions is; Do I missing something?should I had received a 4th NOA of I485 also?

Second questions

On September 22 I checked my I485 on line case status and USCIS which has changed to RFE.

Eventually on November 3rd I finally respond to the RFE.

My questions; the RFE would delay my employment authorization?

If yes, would I be able to receive it before Christmas?

The reason is I have a job opportunity waiting for me starting in January.

Please let me know and thanks a lot for your help!

Not likely to have EAD for January. It will take at least 60-90 days.

Hello Transborderwife,

Thanks for your answers but isn't 90 days after the biometric appointment?

Also to be more clear this is my time line:

CIS Office : Dallas TX

Date Filed : 2014-08-22

NOA Date : 2014-09-02

RFE(s) : 2014-09-22

Bio. Appt. : 2014-09-23

You'd just be coming up on 90 days now by looking at your timeline. I'm personally not an expert.

Ok thanks for your help,

Seems strange the wait will be 180 days for an EAD but anyways I hope to hear some other opinion at this point.

There is anybody here that can share some experience About the RFE?

Thanks guys.

I asked one lawyer and she said depending on what the RFE is, it will delay the EAD. Typically they will process your EAD after an RFE in 1 to 2 weeks after moving the case to ready for interview. Among all the September filers, only few people have received their EAD's. You can follow the forum for September fillers. It has not been 90 days since September or your date of application. Should hear from them soon, but this process will require patience which is as good as assuming nothing happened, otherwise you will grow some gray hair worrying of this process. Worrying does help with this process, they will get back to you in a timely manner. Good luck.

Thanks a lot moraaj!

You were really helpful.

My RFE was about return taxes.

But anyways where I can see the semptember filers in this forum?

Thanks again!

I would add another 40 days to the usual 90 days to receive an EAD, since it took you 40 days to reply the RFE. It might come sooner (hopefully!), but I would prepare to receive the card around January 15th, with the potential for it come earlier. I agree with the previous poster - look for timelines of people who have NOA the same week as you, and see when they are receiving their card and then adjust that date accordingly for the delay of the RFE.

A couple of weeks ago, a person posted they got everything done and cards received in a little over 2 weeks. I posted a question whether this was really true. A couple of others backed up the idea saying it was a reasonable time.

So some very strange things.

You can file a request to expedite your EAD due to a job offer.

What was the rfe about tax returns about, you did not give us all the information, is it a minor tax issue, or something like tax evasion fraud.,.,.,.,.YOU have not told us!

Hello guys,

I would like to say thank you to all the information and advise received.

I will probably try to expedite the process.

And the tax return was a minor problem, I had to had my father in law as a co-sponsor.

Is that consider a minor problem?
