I did but I don't think it worked for me. I didn't receive text updates. 

Uggh , how annoying 😑 well, at least you already had your biometrics appointment. Hope they can quickly process the RFE.

Joining this thread cause I sent my package on Nov 22. According to UPS the package arrived the Chicago mailbox yesterday (Tuesday Nov 29). I'm guessing Thanksgiving slowed down things a little so I'm patiently waiting for my NOA. 

Just received a text today (December 1st) saying that my case was received and the NOA is on their way on the mail! 😃

I had my biometrics appointment today. I managed to get in 6 days early! They were really quiet and kind about it to be honest... It was in Riverside (La Sierra Avenue). 

 

But... I've received a I-485 Request for Evidence today too (RFE) - it's a request for the Form I-864 to be resubmitted. We didn't include W2's so maybe that was the issue.

 

I have question that I hope someone can help with... Will the I-485 RFE delay my EAD/I-765 card being sent to me? 

When did you send your documents? I wonder how much time it took them to look at them and send you RFE. Also, how much time did they give you to respond to the RFE?

Hey! My docs arrived with USCIS Nov 4. I supposedly was issued the RFE on Nov 25, but I responded to it online on the 30th (last night). This morning it was updated to received by USCIS. I was given until February 20th to respond.

Ugh I feel like stuff has come to a stand still since the last week of holidays happened. I am still waiting for my biometrics!

I'm sure we will get news this week.

 

I think unfortunately we fell after Thanksgiving, so hopefully we will have everything sorted before the Christmas holidays.

November filer for AOS here, we mailed it November 28th,  we just received our NOA 1 Dec 2, my question is I noticed our case number prefix starts with IOE, what service center would that be?

Should be the National Benefits Center (same for everyone?), I believe it says at the bottom of the physical NOA1.

@Nylar Found this interesting - https://www.casestatusext.com/i765 

 

If you go to IOE, and then check the first few digits of your IOE you can see how many i-765's have been approved if in a similar IOE. I'm keeping a close eye to the 2nd graph on the IOE tab - which is the daily stats for EAD's produced/sent/issued etc. 

 

Mine is IOE-09-183 by the way.

I've reached out to my local congressman and senator to speed up my I-765 being produced. Seriously need it soon. (I have a job offer + increasing financial hardship)

Ah very nice, I am 09-182 👀

I am not filling for AOS but I sent a Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, with a Form G-1145. The package arrived at the Chicago lockbox on Nov 27 but I have not received any receipt notice or email/text.

 

Is this normal? Wondering if I am gonna get the package returned... Do they text/mail you if your package is going to be returned?

Did you try the expedite request through Emma? I did request it on 12/2 and received EAD approval on 12/6 (Card Being Produced).

Interesting, what reason did you give?
