July 2018 AOS Filers

[KPL 7]

Received an RFE this week. They’re asking for the complete Federal income tax return submitted to the IRS for the previous year... is this normal? Also, does this mean my EAD hasn’t been touched yet? 😕

Yes this is normal
What did you submit?
U had to have submitted your ENTIRE tax returns or the IRS transcripts.

Partial documents will get an RFE

 

As for your EAD- that seems to be a mixed bag
Lately, it seems the answer is no? But I think it depends on what the RFE is and if they need the document to proceed with the EAD.

 

But good news is that this is relatively an easy request

If you filed your tax return, make a copy and send that right back to them

Good luck!

Well we submitted the w2’s for the last three years. And it’s not mine they’re asking for... it’s my husband’s. I’m still waiting to work, so thus, no taxes. 😕

W2s are not tax returns

That's why you got RFE

 

I know many people used what they used at the embassy level
But that is not what is needed.

 

Ask your husband to submit his taxes

W2s and other documents are the support for the tax returns, and they also need that document too.

July filers, you guys got your interview notice already? So quick! Anyone from Baltimore who has received their EAD/AP and/or interview notice yet?

Hi, i just received my interview notice on Jan 2 here in san antonio. I just have a question. Do i need to get a medical again? I have a copy of my DS 3025 from the philippines. Which was done february 2017. I really am confused.

Same field office as you I got aprouved  for Ead/ap in the 11/23 , did your statut changed online first or did you recieved the interview letter first ?, mine has been ready to be scheduled for interview since August 20 thanks for you information and good luck for the interview

So our favorite website, USCIS (the new DHS one), FINALLY updated my EAD status online at 5am this morning, after I finally got my approval letter last night. Also, for those who are wondering, “New Card Being Produced” is really listed before “Case is Approved,” which is funny coz u can’t produce a card without approval lol so it just means those two statuses are one and the same. Le Card is on its way. Now gotta spend this weekend at a coffee shop sipping peppermint mochas 🎄 while writing a bomb resume. 💪🏼

you= your

 

thank you for the info, I just received today my interview notice and it will be on Jan. 9, 2019. I still don’t have SSN and mostly I read about for the previous filers they received their SSN together with EAD. 🙂 

Yea i received mine the same time but i guess it depends. Some receive few days afterwards as long as you requested during your application that uscis send it to u but if not then you have to go to the SSA for that

Thanks ngshizzles, did they ask you if you had any up and coming travel plans? I am hoping to travel to Europe around December 18th and I know there is a temporary stamp you can get in your passport.  Congrats on your bump  

Hey @ttjewell

 

How did your interview go? 

 

Just checking on you

Hi. My status changed in the old website for the EAD/AP approval but not for the interview. The new websited was updated though that it has been scheduled.  thank you. You will receive yours soon.
