I received RFE in the mail today for AOS but kinda confused.

 

Uscis RFE letter (You have submitted secondary evidence and/or a birth affidavit as proof of the applicant birth record. However, the evidence submitted is insufficient.)

 

Please what do i  need to do😌 because  i  submitted copy of my birth certificate for AOS not original and i  used thesame birth certificate for K-1 interview and got approved

Hi. Have you tried calling them and asked why didn't they honor it when they in fact it got through during K1?  I'm pretty sure they have all our documents from the beginning.

I got my biometrics letter today!! 4 days after receiving the NOA in the mail. Progress! It is scheduled for June 7 but I am going on May 30 to attempt a walk-in. Can I go to any USCIS center to try a walk in or does it need to be the one on my letter? Anyone know?

Hi, just checking to see if you did attempt the walk-in, was it successful? 

 

Did you encounter any difficulty?

I don't think it will, I haven't heard where RFE affects bio-appointment.

Go for your appointment and also call USCIS and sort your RFE out as well.

Best of luck.

I went at 8am - that was my first mistake. There was a rush so the receptionist told me I'd have to wait until they accepted walk-ins. I returned at around 12:30 and got through no problem. Success! Biometrics are done and I am focused on expediting the EAD now.

Oh really, that sounds great, congrats lol!

Mine is on friday, if I knew walk-ins was easy I would have attempted it too.

May I ask what the reason for your EAD expedition is for, I guess a job offer right?

Best of luck...

Yes, I think just waiting for after the morning rush will make the receptionist more open to letting you through. I need the EAD because I already have a job where I have been working for almost a year now (I am on F1 Student Visa postgrad status). If I don't expedite, my job will have to terminate my employment for as long as it takes to get a renewed EAD. It has me very stressed over here.

Hi! I believe it will not affect it cause I know some even got RFEs after biometrics. I do hope you'll be able to resolve this issue.
