I filed my AOS packet on 13 JULY BUT received an RFE which was answered and received on 16 AUG.

So when I'm looking at the status dates and threads am I considered a JULY application or an August. When I call for a service request and they say they are processing cases from September am I one or two months behind? Just curious.

From K1 submission to US Citizenship- 2 years, 1 month and 2 days!

K-1 Process
• 6 MAR 2012 - I-129F packet sent via FedEx overnight •

• 7 MAR 2012 - Packet received Dallas, Texas

• 25 April 2012 - Interview and Visa Approved!
• 27 APR 2012 - Collected Visa at Embassy
• 29 MAY 2012 - Arrival in US after two weeks holiday together!
*It took 46 days from NOA1 to Visa pick-up and we received our NOA2 two weeks AFTER her arrival in States!

• 10 AUG 2012 - RFE for Proof of Employment and Fed. Poverty Level/Support Requirement!(Active Duty Military but deployed last year with little taxable income to report)
• RFE Discussion--> http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/382590-any-other-military-members-have-this-happen/
• 16 AUG 2012 - USCIS received my RFE document response & Biometrics completed on same day
• 21 SEP 2012 - EAD Received after a total of 6 USCIS Status updates

Be sure to check all the numbers on your forms that they sent you. They sent my wife an RFE when she did her AOS and they had assigned her two numbers so the whole process took almost a year because we kept waiting on an interview after our reply to their RFE. Long story short when they discovered she had been assigned two numbers and fixed it that day at the service center we had our interview within 30 days. Good look and I hope the rest of your journey goes well.

a month added to the RFE receive date? (give or take?) so I am now looking for when my local office are processing mid-September applications?
