AOS Status "Request for Additional Evidence Was Sent"

[Erik_and_Angela 9]

Hello everyone.

 

My wife and I had our AOS interview last Wednesday. We went through the interview together and everything seemed to go very well, even though at the end the interviewer said she couldn't approve us on the spot (this seems to be normal). Our immigration lawyer was present as well, and he said the fact that the interviewer said we should be hearing from her very soon at the end that it was a good sign we passed and would be getting the green card soon.

 

However, skip forward to today as I check our status on the USCIS website. I've been checking everyday since the interview and it has always been stuck on "Interview has been scheduled", however today it switched to:

 

"Request for Additional Evidence Was Sent

 

On October 27, 2020, we sent a request for additional evidence for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number XXXXXXXXXXXXX. The request for evidence explains what we need from you. We will not take action on your case until we receive the evidence or the deadline to submit it expires. Please follow the instructions in the request for evidence. If you do not receive your request for additional evidence by November 11, 2020, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address."

 

As I said, we thought the interview went really well for us. We had answered everything appropriately, and seemed to have all the documents the interviewer was looking for. Has anyone else had this happen? Would anyone have an idea on what document they may be looking for? And lastly, would this have any delay on us getting our green card, and if so how long should we expect?

pretty normal. no one can tell what the RFE is for ? some times its medical, public charge etc

 

they will wait for RFE response before adjudicating your AOS

Thanks for the reply! We haven't gotten the request in the mail yet, just wanted to prepare ahead of time and figure out what we may have been missing. We provided all the documents they were looking for and then some, plus we checked with our immigration lawyer ahead of time and he said it looked like we had everything we needed.

 

Guess we'll just have to wait and see once we get it, but just wanted to get info from other people who may have had a similar experience.

Unfortunately it happens often where interview seems clean but than people get RFE.  Enjoy the weekend.

Gotcha, hopefully it is something we can easily gather for them or something they may have miss placed we can send to them. Enjoy your weekend as well!

Review your packet- did you sign everything? Leave anything blank? Use an expired form?

Not that we are aware of. We've went over everything several times ourselves and went over everything with our immigration lawyer. Everything should have been filled out and up to date.

Just wanted to provide an update. We got the letter yesterday and it says USCIS records indicate that my wife elected not to be vaccinated when we applied for the K visa, and as a result we need to submit a complete Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record. The thing is though, she got all her vaccinations before coming to the US originally and we submitted her medical exam in the sealed envelope when we had our interview in Colombia. We even provided the USCIS interviewer a copy of her vaccinations when we had our interview the other week.

 

Does anyone know why they are asking for this again? Will she have to go get another medical exam? As I said, we submitted the original medical exam in the sealed envelope during our Colombia interview, so we can't just give them a copy of that.
