    Its part of the process. No point arguing with them about whats you feel is right or wrong. Just give them what they want and you will get your task easier. At the end of the day who will the loser - applicant whose file gets delayed cause adjudicator thinks he needs the paperwork to justify adjudication. 

     

     

    Yes, I agree. It's part of the same process that reminds me of my third world country, where no accountability or law exist...There, for example, when a police officer said you are wrong, even when you are right, you are still wrong and must comply to whatever she asks.

    It now says that all offices are open! So just a programming glitch

    David,

    Just a question related to your timeline: so you've mailed your application before the public charge took effect and still received your application back. But how did you respond? Did you include proof that you mailed it before the due date? Or you just filled again with all the requested documents?

     

    The reason I am asking that I had a similar case, but I receiced RFE and the application was not rejected (received NOA 1 month earlier). I replied with proof that I mailed before the due date (waiting for their response on that)

    RFE for I-944 Form

    Hi,

    I am wondering if any of you have experienced this situation. My AOS application was mailed before the deadline of Feb 25 - when the new rule was implemented - and I have proof from the post office with tracking number. However, I received a RFE asking me to complete the form and attach the documentation. Some people told me to just do it, as most of the documentation are not hard to get.

    but honestly, my finance hasn't been great since I came here, unable to work for more than 10 months, no health insurance...these will impact me, if taken into account. (I never received any assistance, fyi). I would like to reply to the RFE with the documents that I have, add the proof that this rule doesn't apply in my case, and notify my area congressman in the meantime.

     

    So, if anyone has seem a similar case, I would like to share experience because I don't want to make the agent mad at me, and delay my case for perpetuity...(feel like I am living in a dictatorship, where I have to kiss everybody's ### for something I am allowed to have).

     

    thought?

    i agree- i also think you need to be pragmatic- what are you hoping to acheive from fighting this issue...

    I personally believe you are better off spending your energy on submitting the form 944 as it was requested.  

    That doesn't make to me because gathering the papers will require me significant energy. Unless I am losing my English comprehension, the release note is clear:

    "USCIS will now apply the Final Rule to all applications and petitions postmarked (or submitted electronically) on or after Feb. 24, 2020. For applications and petitions that are sent by commercial courier (e.g., UPS/FedEx/DHL), the postmark date is the date reflected on the courier receipt. "

    My receipt says the 22th.

    Sorry if I am hijacking this conversation :(

    You got a RFE or the package rejected? And since Feb 22 was a Saturday, it's hard to say if it actually counted or not.

    I received the RFE; I understand what you are saying but the release notice says this:

     

    " USCIS will now apply the Final Rule to all applications and petitions postmarked (or submitted electronically) on or after Feb. 24, 2020. For applications and petitions that are sent by commercial courier (e.g., UPS/FedEx/DHL), the postmark date is the date reflected on the courier receipt.

    change of address: impact on pending I-485?

    I submitted my I-485 in August 2019, and my status has been pending scheduling of interview since December 2019. I have now changed my address, from NY to Virginia. I know that NY is famously very delayed. Now that my address is officially in Virginia, what is the impact on the timeline for my interview? Do I go to the end of the line in Virginia? Do I stay in line in NY? Do I get transferred somewhere halfway the VA line? Does anybody know?

     

    Thank you

    I have been thinking about similar questions, but my guess is you will be at the end of the line in VA; that is the worse case scenario.

    Are people still receiving the biometrics letter? Just wondering, we just received our NOA. 

    I don't think so since the offices are closed. I asked to have my EAD expedited, but they replied saying that I need Biometrics, and that the offices are closed until at least June: Case on hold until further notice :(

    Hi all, I’ll share my story also.... I am in the F2A category and was about to start consular processing in Jamaica (I didn’t receive the Welcome letter until I was already in the us) when I decided to submit my adjustment of status instead because of everything that was happening with Covid 19, I feared being away and stuck from my spouse and child. 
    anyway I filed my adjustment on February 21,2020, my biometrics app was scheduled for March 25 and of course it was cancelled... however, yesterday I received an email that both my EAD card and travel document were approved. I am assuming it is very much possible to receive an EAD without having done biometrics.... my last fingerprint was at the port of entry.

     

    Interesting...And you didn't request to expedite?

    Hey everyone! I filed mine on October 17th, 2019 and got my NOAS on November 21st, so it took a little bit more than a month. I was a nerve wreck and called USCIS about 7 times lol. My point is, don't worry, you'll get those NOAs soon

     

    Indeed! We tried to be patient :)

     

    As for me, the magic has happened today! It seems like they finally found my application after almost 2 months, because I just saw 3 charges on my bank accounts for the fees.

    Maybe they will tell me that I am still using an incorrect form or other issues, but I feel a bit relieved for now :)

    I received my package returned, with a 'Rejection Notice' saying that I used the 'Outdated version' of the form I-485. Everything was returned with 3 rejection notices. They have the mentioned to fully submit the petition. I am getting ready to file again, as it is not yet considered  as properly filed. They destroyed the payment authorization forms. Have given a green colored letter as well, which needs to be put on top of the new filing.

     

     

     

     

    Oh, I am sorry about that. At least you are not in limbo anymore; maybe my package will come soon

    No update! Yesterday was the beginning of my illegality in this country...When I called Monday, there was still no news about my application, and the rep said she couldn't do anything. Then, I thought that since it is the rule to stay in the country once the application is submitted (unless you want to abandon the application), I might as well follow that rule, and stay put. Basically, I can't go anywhere because my application is pending.

    However, how long do I need to wait? My life is on hold in-definitively until further notice...What if my application was lost between the person who signed for it, and the data entry guy? Will I ever get a notice for anything? What if after months of wait, they still come back to me saying that my application is rejected because I used the wrong form?

     

    I even started playing with the idea of withdrawing it, and then re-sending it back (with the new forms)....Or maybe fax them an expedite request for work permit, hoping that will trigger some sort of response from them...These are my plans next week

    Once you have filed the I485 who cares about satisfactory departure? 😂🤣😂

    It sounds funny to you but it is not for people like me who are in similar situation. Filing the application and having it delivery, without having the receipt, could become a bigger issue. Everyone knows how irrational these immigration officer can be....What if they return the forms for any small error? then its no just a few days of illegality; it might take a few weeks again...During that time, anything can happen....and the beneficiary might be banned for a very long time, at least in my opinion...
