Hello my name is Marcella and i am desperately looking for answers.


My husband and I filed my AOS package (I-30, I-485, I-765) beginning of july and it has been accepted july 22nd. I've received my biometrics appointment letter approximately one month later and followed up on the appointment. everything seemed fine, until i received a RFE for initial evidence for my form I-485 (affidavit of support) that was mailed out on august 26th. we returned it very quickly on september 9th and they received it (according to ups tracking) on september 13th.


Its been over a month now and i havent heard anything, my case status on the uscis website still states that request for initial evidence was mailed eventhough they recieved our response over a month ago. Its been over 90 days now and i havent received my EAD and i understand that if an RFE for initial evidence is mailed it can restart the clock but i also read a couple posts here where some people went though the same scenario and it didnt reset their clock. I just hope anybody can give me some answers i really cant wait another 3 months for my EAD to arrive. it has already been HELL for me i have a 2 year old son and i cant get my drivers license until my ead come and i can get a social security number etc. i cant work or do anything else i cant even leave to visit my family we are both just pretty much siiting in our apartment all day and waiting on a letter, while my husband works 70 hrs a week. I just dont know what to do.

For safety sake you may want to call USCIS, and tell them the evidence was sent, and received, give them the info, and tell them there is no update on your case as evidence being received, that your very concerned about that.

An RFE will not reset the clock but will be briefly paused.

You can call in an expedite request based on financial hardship for the EAD if you have a written job offer.

It depends on the kind of RFE whether or not your EAD will be reset. I received an RFE at the beginning of September and when I called USCIS about it they told me that in my case, they would start counting again (90 days) from the day USCIS received my response to the RFE.

And yet you did not mention that you received your EAD the very next month.

USCIS is called the misinformation line for a reason.

Thanks everybody for your respones. I did call and made an appointment with an uscis officer since the lady on the phone couldnt answer any questions. The officer at my appointment said she will call the national benefits center since they are proccessing my case and will let you my knkw onlfy if there was a problem. She couldnt really tell me anything else in terms of waiting times etc since that depens on the office proccessing my case. So its been a month and a half since i responded to the RFIE and now response or case update so far. I read that some contact the congressman or send an expedite request. Do you guys think that would speed it up?

Yes about 3 weeks after USCIS received my response, I contacted the senator. Someone from the Senator's office looked into my case and found out that USCIS lost my 'response'. Luckily I could e-mail my response to the Senator and he send it to USCIS. A few days later my AP was approved and the status of my EAD changed to 'new card is being produced'. So now I'm waiting for the EAD/AP card to arrive..

Wow they lost your response? How is that even possible? Smh i called but I cant make that request yet since it hasn't been 60 days yet since they received my RFIE. IF they lost it i wouldnt know what to do i cant wait all over again. I don't have a job offer either should i still contact the congressman?
