Thanks for getting back. Oh Nice good luck!! I thought when you do expedite you fax the documents to them. Thats actually easier instead of them sending letter to you which takes 7 days is it really expedite then lol. i think they should request ppl to fax docs 

What day are in for your EAD? Im at 56 so you should be close to 60 or so ur almost reaching 75 soon.. I hope you get it soon 

Just faxed them all the documents they need. Will wait and see if they decide to expedite my EAD, if I don't see any updates till the end of the week, I will contact congressman to help fast things up. My PD is Jan 02, so almost 60 days.

Hello hope everyone is having a good day

 

 

                                                                        So I received biometrics apt letter for march 6 so looking forward to that. Also logged in to My USCIS account my i485 application status changed to RFE sent out I hope its an easy fix. Are there any common generic RFE's that are sent out so I can be on the look out for what they may ask ????

 

Thanks in advance for responses appreciated

It depends on what you have submitted and what they will request for further verification. Usually, most people receive a RFE for Form I-693 i.e medical/vaccine form. I received that because I did not submit it with my application. That's the only one I know that may be termed as generic.

I'm adjusting from F1 visa, I had my old EAD and it expired earlier this year. I worked for this company last year and they decided to hire me, I just told them my situation and they agreed to wait till I have my EAD.

Hi @GioRod! Also, some people receive RFEs requesting the copy of the marriage certificate or birth certificate with translation. I hope it's an easy fix. Let us know

Hi @lafe4c So I did send it in the copy of vaccines report I think it maybe for marriage certificate I sent in a copy they may want the certified version bummer since it says copy's are accepted so if its that I would get one rite away hope so.

 

This is everything I submitted

3.	Form I-485: Petition for Alien Relative (note: use the non US Citizen spouse's married name on this form and list previous name/names)
4.	Copy of the non US Citizen Spouses Passport (biographical page as well as entry stamps).
4a.	Copy of the non US Citizen Spouses K-1 or K-3 Visa from Passport
5.	K-1 Visa Holders: Submit Copy of NOA2 "Approval" for I-129F ** K-3 Visa Holders: Submit Copy of NOA2 "Approval" for I-130
6.	Electronic I-94 Copy or (for older entries) a copy of the non US Citizen Spouses valid paper I-94 (front and back of form)
7.	A copy of the intending immigrant's birth certificate along with English translation. (If in any language other than English)
8.	A copy of your marriage certificate. Note: While a regular copy is allowed, submitting a certified copy is preferred as some members have received an RFE asking for this (so if one is available use that instead).
9.	Two passport-type photos (see specification) of the Non US Citizen Spouse. Write the full name and A# on the back using a soft felt tipped pen or pencil. Place in a plastic bag and label the bag "Photo of <Insert Name>". Attach the bag to a sheet of paper and place behind the I-485.

Hi @DebbieWRaney Thanks for your response now that you mention that it maybe the reason I sent in a regular photo copy. I know we are allowed to send a copy but they may ask for a certified one so I hope its that.

 

This is what I submitted exactly what I sent in

3.	Form I-485: Petition for Alien Relative (note: use the non US Citizen spouse's married name on this form and list previous name/names)
4.	Copy of the non US Citizen Spouses Passport (biographical page as well as entry stamps).

6.	Electronic I-94 Copy or (for older entries) a copy of the non US Citizen Spouses valid paper I-94 (front and back of form)

Hi everyone! Greetings from warm and sunny Philly! 

Hope you all are doing fine and feel positive about AOS process.

First I've decided that I need to be with February filers but most of my good old March 2017 K1 filers are here so I hope you won't mind if I'll join you guys.

 

So, here is out timeline: we've sent our AOS package on January 26th, January 31st package was received and on February 07th at night I received e-notification saying that all petitions have been accepted and received by USCIS. NOA1 date is February 6th for three petitions. 

Last weekend got a mail with biometrics date - March 6th. No e-notification, web-site/application update though. 

 

Good luck to everyone! Just a bit more waiting left.

For some reason, I am no longer able to track my AOS case. On the app, it says "case not found in USCIS" and on the USCIS site, it gives me a "user-defined" error message. When I check through my USCIS account, I can see the case was last updated on Feb 26, but when I click the case number, there's no status. 

 

Does anybody know what's going on? Anyone experiencing the same? It's just for the I-485. I can still track my EAD and AP applications. I'll try calling later to see what's up. So worried.

SoI called USCIS and was transferred to a tier 2 rep who told me to contact the webmaster online to fix the tracking error. He told me the current status of the I-485, and he said that they sent a request for interview letter yesterday. Is this supposed to be the interview schedule? If so, that's so much faster than I expected. I haven't even heard anything about my EAD and AP yet. They don't send letters saying ready for interview, right? It's just a status if I'm not mistaken, and then they'll send a letter with the interview sched?

@lezahennaid, if you don't mind could you please share your timeline with us, it's so surprising how quickly your case is almost at the interview stage, it's barely up to 2 months since you filed..right?  Wow
