Firstly, I appreciate your reply very much. Thank you for taking the time to reply!
I was totally unaware of that, I can't believe what a dumb mistake that is. I am now thinking of submitting a cover letter with the I-864 of my joint sponsor (which they initially had), onto unsolicited evidence. Do you recommend another way? My RFE has given me till May 23 to reply but I can't reply to it anymore on the myuscis site.
The wait for AP is around 12.5 months, but there have been several people that filed at the same time as I did that recieved combo cards or at least had a biometrics appointment for AP. I got a biometrics appointment for the EAD and AOS apps only.
I'm definitely not allowed to enquire anytime soon because the waiting time for the I-485 at chicago is around 20 months, but again, alot of people applying in dec/jan and even feb have already been approved. But it makes sense now that you mention my mistake.
I was honestly hoping to travel and see my family for important events this month but it looks like that's impossible now. Yes I will update my timeline. Thank you!
