We got a RFE for our check and we sent it right back last week but I'm a little scared because we only have a regular copy of our marriage certificate and they didn't mention anything about that.

Just wondering if that was the only thing that was wrong with the package and we're good to go or the chances of getting another RFE are still there?

Did you get a rejection notice or a request for evidence for your check? I'm asking because we got the rejection notice due to incorrect fees and after we sent the correct amount, we got the noa1.

Has any of the January Filers received any news about EAD or date for an interview?

Well I filled on the 27th of December. Nothing yet. But I think applicants moving from k and f visas have gotten updates.

If yo take some time and look at the EAD time processing times here (VJ) you will see that as of TODAY no one has received the EAD card yet. Again this is based on people`s profile, and so there may or not exist people that have received but not updated their profile.

I also did my biometrics on the 23rd of January. Nothing yet though. It hasn’t even updated from case received on the USCIS website.

Most cases online status wont change. Go back, visit december, nov, oct, and other forums and it is exactly the same.

I filed on December 27th, USCIS received on January 2nd, bio on Jan 31st. Got a "Courtesy letter" requesting to bring up to date medical form to interview on February 15th.

I doubt they can approve right away when you do it on the phone or fax from what I read it was taking about a week-10 days, but did you read the thread about somebody that tried to expedite in NYC? They were successful when they stopped by their local office and received their AP the same day but it was really hard. here it is again if you missed it:

Also trying to talk to your congressman may help, I just saw it on another thread, it was or EAD but doesnt hurt to try

Yes it was a rejection notice! 

Good to know, thank you!

Indeed!  You indirectly brought up a great tip, that is to go back and read the forums from the last few months.  It will give you a fairly good idea what to expect along the AOS journey from others up ahead.

@DebbieWRaney I'm a little confused. Weren't you supposed to resend the application (forms, supporting docs, correct fee) after a rejection? Did you do that or did you just send the correct fee and you got a NOA1 after?

 

@nanaaalex wait, so did you get a Request for Evidence letter or a rejection notice? Because if it is a rejection, you have to resend the paperwork with the correct fees but if it is an RFE then you only have to resend what they asked for. This does not guarantee you won't get another RFE, though. I have seen some who got an RFE before the biometrics and another one after. If you did get a rejection, I suggest reviewing your paperwork carefully and ensuring everything is correct and complete to avoid getting an RFE, or worse, another rejection notice. Good luck!

Yes, you are. When I received the rejection notice, they sent all my forms and etc back. So all I did was resent it all back with the correct fees and the paper they asked me to put on top (yellow paper).
