F2A Concurrent filers August-September 2013

[dd_f2a_26 1]

I wanted to start a new thread for folks who have filed I-130 & i-485 within the last month for F2A.

Specifically, I wanted to talk about the RFE that concurrent filers are getting and how they are responding to it. Also if any results coming out of their response reviews.

I am still awaiting my actual RFE in mail but anticipating it to say "Prove that the petitioner is a US citizen"

I don't wish to copy paste information from another forum. However, someone was able to talk to an officer in INFOPASS and was told that the RFEs are happening because the USCIS folks are not aware of the current VISA bulletin and might be sending these RFEs because of that. Any other information on this issue ???

Hi,

If in case you see this post, can you help me understand how did you respond to the RFE? I too have received the same RFE for my spouse. Selected option "a" on i-485. Do i need to amend the i-485 by selecting "h" and resend with a cover letter with usual attachments, like visa bulletin showing PD current in the month of September, copy of my GC etc.?

OR

Just a cover letter informing USCIS about concurrent filing?

Would really appreciate your help.

Thanks

I sent a cover letter stating that we have applied concurrent for Preference classification F2A Spouse of LPR. Petitioner is an LPR. We attached copies of Green card, visa bulletin and receipt notices (i-130, 485, 131, 765).

Thankyou so much. I read somewhere on VJ, that if you have selected Option "a" on i-485, send an amended 485 by selecting Option "h" with cover letter and documents. I also selected "a" however I will just send a cover letter with detailed explanation of the current scenario with documents. Can you also clarify if you used express mail to send the package? Not sure if we can use express mail since the address provided is a PO Box address.

thanks for your help and best of luck with your journey.

Not sure about re-sending I-485. However it looks like just sending a reply is sufficient. I used USPS express mail. Fedex won't deliver to PO box.
