I'm now quoting myself but the RFE was for a birth certificate - which as others have noted is super frustrating because it was already provided in the original package. 

Oh wow, did you just received the hard copy of the RFE? Just curious. Whose birth certificate? You or your wife (the beneficiary)

Hey everyone! I applied for AOS July 14th, I received an RFE for tax documents (I guess we missed something) so we’re sending in transcripts. My question is: do I need to write anything on the outside of the envelope to say what’s inside? I’m including the RFE letter inside.

For safe measure, you might write:
I-485: Request for Additional Documents 

But if am not mistaken (don't quote me since I never actually got an RFE), the envelope it comes with should be a specific color and coded to your name so USCIS folks can easily add it to your case.

Thanks! My letter was yellow, but no envelope was included. I’m going to keep a copy of the letter and include the yellow letter in my response.

My bad
I meant letter should be a certain color.

Then you are good to go!
Just follow the instructions on the letter about how to submit and u should be out of the woods!

Perfect two - very happy for your speedy approval. 

 

So received the hardcopy RFE today (i can see it on the USPS informed delivery). The request was for my wife's birth certificate, the beneficiary. We are using a lawyer and I think they may have submitted a less than perfect copy with the original package.

I'm not sure about that. I have my biometric on August 9 and my status change yesterday. 

I can only pray to be so lucky! Fingers crossed!!!

Just want to know my status changed "FINGER PRINTS COMPLETE " does it mean also they receive my RFE response? They asked also my BC which i also included in my package when i sent it anyway I replied asap on that rfe the next day. It bothers me coz in usps status it is still in transit but it's been 10 days already i guess Lees  MO received already my RFE response 😑

Just got a status update. They received my biometrics. But no word on ready to schedule interview. They’re still reviewing our case. Exhausting. But glad they’re updating 😃

Fingerprints complete just means that- your biometrics are done and there were no issues with it. It doesn't tell you anything else about your case.

Do you have an account with USCIS? It might be better to have one since that will give you a breakdown of if they received your RFE. 
Because if USPS says a package is in transit, it typically is in transit. I don't think it has been delivered yet. Sometimes, I know USPS has issues delivering packages sometimes so yea.

Just finished up our biometrics. We did our walk in a week early. No questions asked. It was so easy and quick I felt like we were missing something. 

Same experience as the others. Came in, filled out a form, took picture and fingerprints, answered a customer service survey. In and out in 25 minutes. 

 

The next wait continues.

 

We’re at the DMV now trying to get an ID card. Fingers crossed as our 1-94 is expired. Didn’t find out that it had to be within 30 days of expiring until last week. But no harm in trying. Wish us luck. None of the clerks look like they’re in the mood to do any favors. Lol 

Received our biometrics letter yesterday - appointment set for August 30th - exactly one month after NOA1 date.

 

As for DMV - here in Charlotte - we got Ana her NC ID but it will expire on Sept.8th (when the I-94 expires).  Dude at DMV was pretty knowlegeable - says they can only authorize the ID / License per the I-94 or the next document we receive from USCIS - presumably here temporary green card.  When we receive the temp. green card (the validity period will be shown) - we go back to DMV to extend the expiration date on her ID..

Hello Everyone, 

 

I was wondering when will my case will get transferred to the local office? Or the National Benefits Center will do all the work then send to the local office for the interview. 

 

I am ready to be scheduled for an interview.

 

Thanks for your help.

You are not- at least not necessarily. 
U are ready to be scheduled for an interview when you get an alert that says "Ready to be scheduled for an interview"
This mean that NBC has finished reviewing your case and see no need for an RFE. Then they will send the case to your local office for interviews.

What you see on your 7/11/18 notification is NBC indicating that they accepted your package that you sent.

have you done biometrics?
Please update your timeline. That helps us all know how best to answer your questions.
Good luck!

So a tiny update.

After all the RFE stuff I got an e-mail a couple of hours ago saying that my case is ready to be scheduled for an interview.... So no more RFE for me

Interestingly the dhs.gov website didn't update only the egov (old website), plus the e-mail.... anyway

 

Unfortunately I have no clue how fast the Saint Louis, MO office works... Tried to google it but there is not a lot of people on this forum who had their interview in Saint Louis....

Uscis breakdown doesn't says anything if they received my RFE response 😢 so I should go to usps to check the letter if they already delivered it? It is a certified mail

How many days does it takes for uscis to response if they received a RFE RESPONSE?
