March 2017 AOS Filing (RFE on AP & EAD; any ideas on when it will be approved)

[Kooky 3]

Hi all,

 

Advice on any next steps?  We are trying to leave for family obligations mid-August and already had to cancel when we got a rejection on the expedite request.   It's been 129 days since filing, so even with the simple RFE (which was updated as received within 9 days of them updating the site saying I had one), we are still beyond the processing times for EAD/AP that everyone else is getting.  I am AOS from a TN status; Canadian married to US citizen.  I feel like since the EAD is still overdue even with RFE and it's been more than 30 days since last request I can perhaps put in another SR on that; I also have an Infopass appointment scheduled for next week so is that overkill?

 

March 20, 2017: Filed I-485/I-130/I-765/I-131 (got the NOAs by the end of that week)

April 17, 2017: Biometric done

June 28, 2017: SR on the EAD as it was 100 days at that point (on website it says it was assigned to an officer, sent a reply and completed all on that day: I received an email that day that said "case was under review")

July 7, 2017: Filed for expedite request on AP citing financial loss (plans to travel)

July 10, 2017: Received notice asking for documents to be faxed in support of expedite request

July 11, 2017: Faxed over all the docs

July 11, 2017: Update on website says Request for Initial Evidence on I-765 and I-131

July 17, 2017: Notices received; first and last name reversed on I-131 (letters say "Request for Initial/Additional Evidence," both letters say name has to match)

July 17, 2017: Sent new I-131 form + birth certificate, passport, driver's license etc. overnight

July 18, 2017: FedEx says delivered

July 20, 2017: Update on both I-131 and I-765 says: Request for Evidence Received

July 21, 2017: Notice received expedite for AP denied

July 26, 2017: Congresswoman sent letter/inquiry on my behalf re: I-131 and I-765

 

Thank you in advance, collective brain trust of VJ!

Just curious how you went about getting the congresswoman to send a letter? We filed in September 2016 and are still waiting for an interview...

 I looked up my Congressperson here: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find/ went to their website and found the privacy release.  I faxed it over (then called to follow-up--turned out their fax was broken), and they gave me the name and email number of the caseworker for the Congressperson who handles these inquires.  That person and I exchanged emails, I provided the release along with relevant documents and they wrote a letter on my behalf and sent me a copy of it.
