I'm getting the paperwork to reply for the RFE that I received last Sat. Hope to send out on Friday this week.

I basically provide more pay stubs for myself (3 more to make last 6 months).

I also get a co-sponsor to submit 864 with their tax transcripts, paystub, w2.

Hopefully this will resume my case to get the EAD in Oct.

Good luck Tara. Dont forget to include proof of residence/citizenship from from your Co-sponsor and you are all set

Hi everybody,

Congrats on all the good news. You guys are very lucky!

I applied for AOS on July 15th and today is Sep 21... The case status on USCIS website hasn't changed at all ever since the first notice. May I ask is that normal??? No updates.. no further notice... no hard copy or anything...

This is the first moment in my AOS journey that I felt nervous and worried. Can anybody help? Thank you very much!

It looks pretty good Tara. But I will also attach the previous I864 with pay tubs together to make them less confused. Like brand new affidavit of support

We filed for adjustment August 11. Did bio on August 5. Still says fingerprint fee received.... we have heard nothing either.but people after us getting approved without interview....

There's no rhyme or reason... just patience. I think it all depends on local office (OKLAHOma city), visa you're adjusting from, and how backed up your case worker is. Just pray and stay positive!!!

Hi to all!

Filed mine last July 5. BIometrics on Aug 8. Since then i have not heard of anything, neither USCIS case status (which still case received) nor an RFE.

Hoping to hear more from USCIS soon. ??????

You need to include employment verification letter & proof of citizenship

I'm getting the paperwork to reply for the RFE that I received last Sat. Hope to send out on Friday this week.

I basically provide more pay stubs for myself (3 more to make last 6 months).

I also get a co-sponsor to submit 864 with their tax transcripts, paystub, w2.

Hopefully this will resume my case to get the EAD in Oct.

Just when i thought and opened the case tracker, my status now is RFE for INITIAL evidence.

How sweet is that?! I'm confused what went wrong with my docs.

-our affidavit of support is sufficient and we mer the 125% for a household of 2

-tax transcripts are sent as well as employment letter

-photocopy of marriage cert sent

-us spouse naturalization cert sent

And nothing i can think of caused the RFE.. ?

Now patiently waiting for the mail so i can figure out exactly what they want.

Hello Did you do your fingerprint?

I made an appointment online for a infopass and went in today. They let me do my fingerprint the same day.
