It seems like USCIS has approved a lot of applications recently which has created some backlogs in card production. Just hang in there. Good things you know she was approved 😊

I only got 1 email “we have taken action on your case” early in the morning around 5:41am on march 14. I know there would be a delay on update so I didnt check the status immediately. Around noon, the status changed to “Card was delivered to me by the post office”. Other than that i didnt get any email notifications for “card is being produced” or “card was produced” at all. Just know that they are working on your card production without updating your status lol. At least a bunch of people have experienced the same thing as I have seen. If they do update yours, consider yourself lucky 😅

Good for you!! Are you adjusting from K1? Mine was delivered yesterday after a whole week of no status updates whatsoever. It went straight from “card was produced” to me got it in the mail.

The first expedition was on 02/14/23. I got an email requesting additional documents a few hours after referral number was created. I faxed all docs later on the same day. Did not hear anything in the meantime. I decided to fax the same docs 2 more times a few days after. Half a mont went by, decided to give another try. Second expedition was on 03/01/23. Got the same email I got the first time within a few hours. Faxed THE SAME docs I did the first time right away. Got it approved on 03/06/23.

EAD approved after 2 expedite requests 🙏

Did they state directly they used unsolicited evidence you uploaded in the FOIA response letter? I'm still skeptical because a tons of people in this forum claim that USCIS don't even bother to look at those evidence and suggest us to bring them to the interview instead.

Hi guys, We finally found a joint sponsor with great income and proper W2 tax and all the good stuff. We sent our response to RFIE off on Monday 11/14/22. How long does USCIS typically update the status that they have received the mail package on the USCIS online portal? I have seen lots of people get their EAD approved within 30 days. Hoping mine will progress that fast as well but having RFIE in the mean time is frustrating.

Well, as far as I know, they only consider tax documents for the most recent years which is 2021. If your "TOTAL INCOME line on IRS Form 1040" does not meet the HHS poverty guidelines for affidavit of support (for reference, find it HERE), then you need to find a joint sponsor. Unless you have other assets to make up a deficiency. It seems to me that I-864 is the trickiest parts of the whole AOS application because according to people experienced, USCIS is likely to issue RFE in regards to this.

I got a RFIE as well. Does your income meet the requirements? Check again if you’ve missed to provide any financial documents? If not, better off finding a joint sponsor to limit any delays. We’ll send our RFIE response tomorrow.

Hi guys October 2022 AOS filer here! USCIS just issued a Request For Initial Evidence for I-485 today 31/10/2022. I know we have to wait for the mail to know the detail of what initial evidence USCIS is requesting for. But in the mean time, I would like to ask some of ya'll who have been through this situation to know what could possibly be the reasons for the request? Should you guys have any inputs, please do give me a response. I'm adjusting my status from F-1 (senior year now). Married to US Citizen. My timeline: 10/13/2022: AOS package submisson to Chicago lockbox. Concurrent filling (I-130, I-485, I-131, I-765) 10/17/2022: Case was received and a receipt notice was sent 10/24/2022: Received 4 receive notices in the mails (we didn't file for E-Notification) 10/28/2022: Biometrics appointment was scheduled (for 11/17/2022 I was able to ask Emma) 10/31/2022: Request for Initial Evidence was sent I have not signed up for an online account because my lawyer advised me not do that. She said having an online account may prevent USCIS from sending notices to both my address and the lawyer office instead they will only send notices to my address. As far as I know, some of yall have access to Document tab on the online portal to see what the RFIE is for right away without having to wait for the physical mail but on my end, I have to wait for that. According to my lawyer, my evidence is very solid. We have gathered as much evidence as possible for the initial submission along with medical exam. However, for the income requirement, my spouse only made 22k (after deductions and everything 1099 form) last year. However, my lawyer was able to use my spouse's saving account of more than 20k to prove for assets to make up for the lack of income. She said only 10k is enough to make up but having more is much better. So we ended up not having to file for co-sponsor. Could this be a reason for RFIE? My spouse also change his name during Naturalization but he didn't keep a record so we didn't include evidence for name change in the submission. To better prepare for possible future request for evidence, my spouse has submitted a FOIA request for this. It's still been under processing. Could this be a big issue? My ultimate concern is: Could this RFIE for I-485 prevent USCIS to process my I-765 and I-131 in the mean time? Do they stop and wait until they receive a response for evidence from us so they can continue to process my work authorization and travel document? I'm aware this process can take a long time. But as long as I receive the work authorization and SSN or travel document, I'm fine to wait for the interview or green card after that.
