RFE! aaarrrgghhh!

We just got an RFE asking for the Co-sponsor's proof of US citizenship, so we need to send a copy of her passport.

I thought when i sent the papers to ask her for it just in case but thought she must have read the instructions and it's not necessary... I should have done it regardless!!

In the RFE it says "you are ineligible for interim employement authorisation pursuant to Title 8, code of federal regulations, Section 103.2 until 90 days after the missing initial evidence is received".

Does this mean my EAD is put to the back of the line again and the month since i first sent AOS doesn't count towards it? Does anyone know? I can live with the delay for the Green Card but having to start the 3 months over again for the EAD is a real pain.

Thanx

Sorry about the RFE

USCIS should change the wording on this RFE letter. They don't issue interim EAD's any more, so why even mention them?

Your EAD will be put on hold from the moment the RFE was issued up to the moment they receive your response. It may take longer than 90 days since the time you filed, but shouldn't be too long.

I would assume when you send back the RFE information that your processing for AOS/EAD resumes. Just get the missing information as soon as possible.

Just a point of clarification - the EAD itself be it interim or valid for a year are both interim benefits. This letter is not specifically targeting the interim EAD. Interim benefits though, yes.

Basically the letter is saying your interim benefits will be stalled until apropriate response is received from the applicant. Some RFE's don't seem to delay processing of EADs though. Sorry I am unsure which ones wouldn't.
