Hi guys, I concurrently filed for AOS with the Forms I-130 and I-485.  Mailed out on July 31st, USCIS received the package on August 1st.  They cashed the check for Form I-130 today August 28th ($ 535 USD), but did not cash the I-485 & Biometrics check ($ 1225 USD).  Do you guys know if USCIS usually cashes first one check and then the other one?  Or do they use to cash both at the same time?  I want to stay positive and don't think that there is an error on the I-485 or other forms (I-131, I-765, I-864, and I-693)

USCIS cashed the I-485 check today at 3:00 pm EST. Now, both checks (I-130 & I-485) have been cashed out. The former was cashed 28 days after filing, and the latter, 32 days after filing. So yes, USCIS can cash checks on different days. Cashing out a check first, and the other one later, doesn't necessarily mean a rejection for one of the forms being filed. NOAs are now on their way  @DE2020

Ah your birth certificate is an easy thing to get translated. Do you have someone who can be your sponsor?

Goodluck! Still waiting for confirmation that USCIS received my RFIE package. Got USPS confirmation that it was delivered yesterday. Hoping we all get to the next step soon 🤞

Just got my RFIE and I'm very confused. I already sent both my husband's and co-sponsor's I-864 with additional evidence. Only thing I didn't include was my husband's tax income returns because he doesn't have any (has never been required to file taxes) so I wrote a letter of non-filing instead.

Maybe send them again. What do you mean never required to file taxes? What's the reason?

Also, hide your A# number from the screenshot.

Never made enough money to be required to file. We did it the same way for my K1

I think in that case you should be using joint sponsor and submit their taxes. K1 is just a temporary visa and USCIS might not be strict with their requirement for sponsorship but for AOS i think they need to see income proof/taxes.

 

Reupload the RFE screenshot but hide A# and other details.

I did use a joint sponsor (says so on the RFE, they just want an extra copy of their birth certificate). Will reupload the screenshot
