February 2020 AOS Filers (mod edit to title)

[beefmaster 52]

Just got an RFIE on my I-485. Does anyone know what these typically relate to? I just went through the checklist again and I am 100% positive that my lawyer submitted all the relevant documentation (I certainly gave it all to him and it was in the package I checked). 

Does this usually delay the I-765 process?

Did you go for a biometric appointment?

 My appointment was on 20th March. I walked in to nearest ASC last Friday to try and get in, but they did not let me in saying no walk-ins anymore.

Yeah don't worry my wife's biometrics were scheduled on March 24th. We literally went in on Tuesday the 17th because we were in the area (unknowing they would close down everything on the 18th), and they told us they don't take walk-ins anymore. We are kind pissed they didn't just let us do it, seeing as the center was empty when we walked in. But in light of whats going on, can't say we didn't try. Guess we are all hunkered down together.

It's typically fundamental stuff like a missing long-form birth certificate, marriage certificate, the sponsor not being sufficient and this needing a joint sponsor. Stuff that is needed as bare minimum to consider it a complete application.

I live in Oahu,Hawaii so the office is only within 20min driving distance. But for those who live in mainland, it takes longer to drive and you probably need to take a day off for the appointment ( took a bus myself so my husband could stay at work).

Up until today there is no notice on office closing in mail or txt. Which means people who’s appointment scheduled this month is still visiting the office while exposing themselves in the risk of getting coronavirus.

I really wish they have handled this situation better 😫

I faxed everything on Monday and didn't get any notifications. Did you receive an email?

Nah I didn't receive any confirmation email either.

So you saw this information when you checked the status of I-765 on USCIS web site?

Correct. But I am unsure whether the "request...was complete" update showed up before or after faxing since everything happened so fast. I was amazed by how fast USCIS moved this time.
