So I received an RFE today for my husband's I-485 application... SOB!! Anyway...it says that we didn't submit any W-2s with our I-864 (BS! I have the photocopy of our packet with them in it!!) Oh well...anyway, I am RE-submitting them but it also says on the RFE the following

"Your are ineligible for interim employment authorization pursuant to Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 103.2 until ninety (90) days after the missing initial evidence is received"

Does this mean that we have to wait ANOTHER 90 days before my husband will be allowed to work???? We submitted our package back in May so we have already waited two months. We have a baby and my little income is not enough to support all three of us. How do they expect immigrants to SURVIVE here if they can't work!?!?

If anyone has any info I'd really appreciate it. Thanx.

They lost our financial information as well and sent us an RFE. But, his AOS was approved before the EAD anyway so try not to worry about it. I know not having enough money is hard but if you submitted in May maybe it will be approved soon. Ours was approved less than a month after sending the RFE info back in.

Why do you think there are so many illegal immigrants!! When you try to do things by the book, you can't work, can't travel, can't get a driving licence.. Its so annoying..

Most of the time the EAD still gets approved within the original 90 days even though that addendum is put on the RFE. I would not worry too much about it and just wait out the 90 days; hopefully you will get the EAD. Just submit the RFE ASAP.
