We filed for AOS + AP + EAD on Jan 16th, got all 3 NOAs on Jan 22nd. Did the biometrics on Feb 10th and got an RFE on Feb 16th.

Like a lot of you they're asking for documents we did send! Marriage certificate and financial support in our case.

We saw a lawyer (we have some other tricky issues going on) today and she said that a lot of times USCIS will send an RFE to buy themselves more time: technically they're supposed to process the case in 90 days, but sending an RFE buys them an extra 60 days (so in response to some of you, no the RFE doesn't restart the 90 days but it does add another 60 days apparently).

We were super depressed and frustrated but thanks to the lawyer and a lot of valuable advice from visajourney forums we feel a lot better! It's nice to see we're all together in this mess lol! We wish everyone a lot of luck and courage in this nerve racking process, and congratulations to those of you who got approved already :D

I have heard others say the same thing - the USCIS will send an RFE to allow more time to process. My husband got an RFE for the marriage certificate and I know that it was in the package (and listed on the cover page).

thanks for the info on the re-start of 90 days vs. adding additional time.

Hi Folks,

My wife did her biometrics on Jan. 26, but yesterday we received another notice for her to do her biometrics again on March 6 (code 3). We did call the customer number and they said that if it has been less than 4 weeks from the first biometrics date that it is most likely a system glitch (i also read that alert on the USCIS website). Has anyone else encountered this? Also, we did go one day earlier due to a storm hitting us on the actual appt date.

USCIS Vermont received AOS packet Jan 10. Biometrics apt was feb 5th in Philly. Interview scheduled for March 18th in Philly as well. Still no update to EAD since Jan 14th. Happy i485 is moving fast but getting antsy with i765 taking so long. Keeping fingers crossed for everyone waiting for updates!

Whoa!

I've been told not to expect anything until March but I'm seeing some folks getting updates for packets that were sent and received after ours.

Is this pretty normal or should I be expecting something soon?
