I-130 approved! (but still there's RFE on my Birth Cert)

[dcp19 7]

Hey  VJer's
 

So...a little background. I'm doing AOS from an O-1 visa and am based in Los Angeles.

 

I had my field office interview yesterday with my American wife and everything was fine apart from my UK Birth Certificate was not the long form (I only just discovered this was a requirement!)

Anyway, long story short, an RFE was issued at the field office and my case was on hold until I handed in the Long Form BC (which I immediately ordered and it's due in on Monday). After it's handed in I was told my case would be approved.

 

However, I just went onto my USCIS portal and this appeared:

Anyone shed some light on this?

Ummm...maybe they pushed the wrong auto-response button when updating???

The online status is not always 100% reliable. Maybe you got lucky and they ordered your card. Send the birth certificate anyway.

I hope they pushed the wrong button! Either way new BC is on it's way and will be handed into the field office on Monday.

Dropped off my long form BC today at the field office. When i got home my wife had received an I797 in the mail. Case approved!

Are you sure the approval is for the I-485 and not the I-130? I've seen petitions be approved and the adjustment at a later date. Usually it would be when the person has an approvable petition, but there's some documentation still needed to prove the ability to adjust. For example, marriage is bonafide but there's potential  admissability. 

 

Maybe there  was a policy change and a short form cert is good enough but the officer only realized that after the fact?
