Confused

[Paul D 0]

Hey All,

I'm alittle confused - maybe someone has had a similar experience - here goes -

10/5/06 - Mailed to Chicago my wife and her daughter's I-485 and I-765's (1 I-485 and I-765 for each)

10/9/06 - Package delivered to the Chicago lockbox

10/16/06 - Received I-797C, Notice of Action for each form (i.e. 4 notices of action)

10/25/06 - Received Request for Initial Evidence (I-485) for both my wife and her daughter asking for my latest tax return (2005) - I haven't filed 2005 yet (I just gave it to my accountant) but I sent them 2002 thru 2004 tax returns

11/1/06 - My wife and her daughter had their biometrics appointment

11/2/06 - On November 1, 2006, I received an email that "We transferred your I485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status to an office in CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER for processing. Our office in CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER will send you a written decision as soon as processing is complete. You should receive a notice informing you that your case has been transferred to a local office." This was for both my wife and her daughter.

My question is should I still send my 2005 tax returns to the address given in the RFE I received on 10/25 (Lee's Summit, MO) or should I assume that since the AOS was transfered to the California Service Center the application is on track? From reading the posts I understand that for K-1 people the I-485's are transfered to California and are usually approved rather quickly (sometimes without an interview - I live in Virginia) while the EAD's can take longer.

If anybody can help me with these questions I would appreciate it !!

Thanks,

Paul D

PS - the two EAD's have not been touched since 10/26/06

>>I'm a little confused.

So am I! You are willing to risk your spouse being deported because you did not respond to the RFE? I

wouldn't!

Never assume! USCIS is perfectly capable of forwarding your RFE to California to update your file. When you get the tax forms, send them--and you might also want to send a letter explaining, in the meantime, why you're so late responding to the RFE.

I would follow the instruction of the letter. Don't worry about where you case is located. I would send in your taxes ASAP also.

Just my opinion but....I would get those 2005 taxes filed ASAP too. That might be an issue with USCIS as far as the I-864 is concerned... might being the operative word here. It could very well hold everything up. Again, this is just my opinion.
