What deadline are you talking about? If the one printed on the RFE - it is already extended for 60 days after the printed "respond by" date because of covid.

It's a blessing and a curse. You have more time to respond and they have more time to add for excuses for your case delay😞

Hi Mish,

So you mean if oct1 was printed on your letter then it is oct1 plus 60 days? What if you sent i360 in a month ago but still no letter of receipt?

oh that's good! got 693 notice about 10 days back but 485 still hasn't changed

Thanks..!

 

I read from somewhere that sometimes the status was never(or it take couple months to be updated like usual) changed even if the case was proceeding. 
 

your case was approved earlier than mine so it will happen soon or already did happen.🤞

Hi there!

To answer about RFE - yes. If the deadline says Oct 1 and they receive the reply by Nov 29th, they will take it as it's been replied in time. It is 60 calendar days extra, so if the letter is delivered on Nov 30th or later - you'll have missed the timeframe to reply and they will not take it into consideration.

Please clarify what is going on. Looks like your I-485 has been withdrawn and you just have filed VAWA petition a month ago. What kind of case/s do you have pending besides the new VAWA that you are worrying about the deadline for the RFE?

Mi EAD renewal is pending since september 2020. it has not been approved yet. The delays in uscis are insane

 

A. You can submit expedite request as per USCIS expedite criteria. If you don't think you meet their stringent expedite criteria, then

B. Consider joining attorney Greg Siskind's EAD lawsuit if it's for C9 EAD. Completely up to you though. Last date is Nov 3. Link is below: 

 

https://www.visalaw.com/ead_delay_onboarding/

Divorced US citizen spouse in December 2017. 

Filed I-360 on Nov 12, 2019

Filed I485/ C31 EAD / AP in Feb 2020 (Stupid lawyer filed C31 instead of C9, and I didnt know EAD codes, didnt know about this VJ forum either)

On H1b status since 2014, H1b 6 years expired in May 2020. Out of status / Period of authorized stay since then. 

Amended EAD petition to C9 and filed expedite request for same in mid-may 2020. 

C9 EAD approved June 4, 2020. 

Biometrics done in Oct 2020. 

I485 case transferred to NBC for "faster processing" on September 30, 2020

Filed C9 EAD / AP Renewal petition in February 2021. 

Initial Advance Parole (from Feb 2020 application) approved in June 2021.

Medical exam RFE Drama: Second congressional inquiry sent in early July 2022 for I485. USCIS responded on 8/12/22 to this congressional inquiry that they issued an RFE on 5/24/22 and were waiting for my response. My lawyer denied receiving RFE and there was no such update on online USCIS portal. Lawyer's old firm was safe mailing address on my case. Lawyer changed firms a year after I hired her but did not change mailing address for my case with USCIS, she said she had a deal with her old firm to forward all her clients' mail to her new firm. Old firm denied receiving RFE. Sent another congressional inquiry requesting copy of RFE on 8/17/22. I also got medical exam done on 8/17/22 as I assumed RFE was for medical exam (thanks for this forum's insights.) Yelled at lawyer and threatened her with dire consequences. On 8/18/22 my lawyer's old firm finally found scanned copy of RFE in their "archived scans" (whatever the duck that is) and emailed it to me. It was indeed RFE requesting medical exam. On 8/20/22 I mailed medicals sealed packet with copy of RFE to St. Louis field office. Also sent a notarized letter with the packet - updating safe mailing address to my home address and informing St. Louis field office that I fired my lawyer. Sent similar letter to Vermont Service Center on the same date. 

8/23/22 - Fedex confirmed delivery of medicals packet to St. Louis Field Office. 

8/26/22: Case update on I485: New Card Is Being Produced

8/29/22:  On August 29, 2022, we approved your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS

9/3/22 green card delivered to attorney's office (they didn't change safe mailing address despite my written requests to FO AND VSC.) 

9/6/22 VSC returned AR11 and my letter requesting safe mailing address change. In their letter they said something to the effect of "you can do this online, we wont do it via snail mail request etc." Just posting as an FYI, its weird. Also received I485 approval notice on the same date.

Actually I was thinking about that too, Do people sue immigration officers at all?

I am having the VAWA interview, and I was thinking what happens when they start asking questions not related to the I 485, like the VAWA case. 

Probably nothing happens to them, but was just wondering if people ever sue IO lol 😆
