Idk if I am just over thinking this but I feel people that got an RFE had more accomplished then people that didn't

I don't know, but what I have noticed is that most people who are self-employed get one.

If you want to know where your file is watch this video about the National Benefit Center.

One thing I'm confused about is that for my RFE it said to mail my response to an address in Lee's Summit near Kansas City yet I'm in New York.. Does it go there then get forwarded or does it mean mine is being processed by a different office?

It's the National Benefits Center. All applications (for AOS anyways) are sent there. This is where they check all the paperwork and where the RFE's are sent to.

Woke up to a text this morning that my green card interview is on May 18! I don't even care that we have an interview. I'm so excited we are basically done with this process and no RFE!

Yay!!! Congratulations and good luck.

That was quick.

Yes! At least that was one good thing. I got the internet notice today, but it was mailed last week.

I got the RFIE letter and it's completely unrelated to the first one.

Now it's the income that does not meet the 125%.

I sent in some assets to make up the difference, but I guess I need to send more.

That is so stupid , they should have told you all in the first RFE , looks like people in that office need to get more organized and realize what they do effect people's lives

I wish they would just tell me all at once what I need to send. Looks like they check a part of it, then send a RFE, then check another part and send another. I really hope this is the last one though.

Omg, what the hell. That seems SO inefficient.

As someone else stated though, good on you for remaining so upbeat. I know I wouldn't be nearly as calm. Hope this gets straightened out STAT.

Yes, very inefficient.

Maybe it has to do with what I previously sent since it was so fast. They got the response on March 29 and now I already have another one.

Oh well !! I'm at their mercy, so I'll just comply with what they ask and wait my turn.

Omg this is ridiculous but I'm glad you're looking past it and finding the positive out of the situation.

Thanks, I don't know what they could possibly want this time.

That is ridiculous! I can't imagine why they wouldn't just send this RFIE's information with the original unless it's in reference to what you just sent? Maybe because you just sent in the updated i864 with that name filled out, they're asking for all the evidence again?

Thanks, if it has to do with the prior RFIE, then at least I didn't get denied right away. I really hope I dont have to re-send all the taxes documents, it was huge!

Congratulation to everybody who got good news !!!

I woke up to bad news again: I got another RFIE on my case. I don't know why yet, but at least it means they worked on my case again (right after I sent the other RFIE).

Hi fellow Feb 2016 AOS filers, my story, adjusting from K1

Filed- Feb 10th

NOA 1- Feb 12th

Biometrics- March 11th

NOA 2 APPROVED- March 31st (20 days after Biometrics, no interview, no RFE's, No potential interview waiver letter)

GC being produced

GC in mail-April 6th

still waiting for actual card

So got approved in approx. 6.5 weeks, no interview, still in shock, it seems there is just no predicting this journey, I was expecting to wait 6-12 months for the GC, I had put it to the back of my mind, after being one of those stuck in the Texas center backlog for over 6 months! So good luck with your AOS journeys and I wish everyone speedy approvals, you just never can predict anything on this journey.

Congratulation!! That was super fast.

I'm wondering Ipod, was your RFE for initial evidence or additional? We're almost on the same timeline in California, LA. I send my stuff in Tuesday and am waiting for a response. I'm hoping you get approved, so it's positive news for me.

Hi, the RFE was for initial. It was because when you fill form I-864, if you delete the name on the last page (the one where it says additional information) it also deletes it on page 3. I didn't notice it when I printed the form and sent it with no name on page 3.

It's common enough that they have an automatically generated form for the RFIE.

I got this a week after my biometrics, and they got it back about 2 weeks after that, so it should have only slowed down my case for 2-3 weeks.

I will keep updating this thread, so you will know.

Good luck to you!

Thank you IPod. It really helps to have the people on this forum. We all are going through a stressful time.

Good luck to you too.

I agree, thank goodness for the forum and the great people who are part of it. ((( hugs to you )))

Some sad updates about my case. It seems that my I-485 package is lost somewhere between the lockbox and USCIS :-(

The receipt number for my I-485 package never worked when I tried to check my status online. I called USCIS several times and every time I was told to wait for 45 days and it will show up. It never did!

Yesterday was the 46th day. I called and after being on hold for an hour and talking to different people, I was told there is no record of my I-485 package in their system. The package was received by the lockbox, hence I got the I-797 and the check was cashed, but it was never entered to the system. They told me to contact the lockbox via email and asked them what's happened to my case, which I did. I'm not sure when I'm going to hear back from them :-(

Does anyone know the phone number of Chicago lockbox?

Oh no! That is seriously not nice. I hope they find it for you and that the delay is not too long. Good luck and keep us updated.

Awesome! Thank you!

you're welcome and good luck.

Was getting a little discouraged seeing everyone get updates and good news, but I checked on our case on a whim and it's been updated to New Card is Being Processed! We're skipping the interview, I suppose. The wording is weird, so naturally I'm having a little bit of anxiety that it doesn't mean what I think it means, but I'm sure it means that my husband's green card will be mailed very soon!

Keep up the hope, everyone! Patience will pay off!

Congratulation!! It's nice to hear about everybody's success.

This is what I did and so far, it seems as if it was accepted.

Both i131 & i765: approved and "new card is being produced" and mailed

Yay!! Congratulation.

Got an e-mail this morning saying my new car d is in production! so happy I got the interview waiver

That is great!! Congratulation.

Lots of greek in Colorado... road trip! LOL

I wish! Colorado seems so beautiful.

Arahova on St-Viateur has the best gyros in Montreal - for those having to go to the interview. St-Viateur bagels and Dieu du ciel brewery are nearby. Hungry now!

Arahova!!! I keep telling my husband about Greek food (like Arahova) and how I wish there was a place like that here.

Congrats to everybody for all the good news.

The RFIE I got definitely slowed things down since I did my biometrics a month ago and still no update on the petitions. Oh well, as long as I don't get any more RFE's and they like what I sent, I guess they'll eventually get to me.

Donair is popular in the maritimes (I think Nova Scotia claims the best and they are good!) Alberta is huge on them. I had not heard of them in BC, but I was a kid. I am pretty sure you can get them in Sask as well.. No Idea about MB,ON, QU though.

Like Gyro - excellent after bar meal!

I'm from Quebec and I never heard of a Donair, most likely it's a regional specialty.

Well I just checked and my case is ready for interview date which I am happy but I really wish there was no interview , I'm nervous like crazy cause me n my husband have nothing under our names together yet do to his work schedule , when would I get the physical letter does anyone know?, I'm getting butterflies in my tummy

I wish there was no interview and they would just mail the green card lol

My goodness, that was fast!! Congratulation!! No RFE for you which is so great. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I wouldn't worry too much about having things in your names, if it comes up, just explain why. Since you're a real couple I'm sure you'll do great.

Hey All,

I'm wondering, does everyone's 3 receipts number work on USCIS website? Got my NOA on March 4th and only the I-765 is working.

They all work for me and I have been getting the updates, but I heard the system can be quite unreliable.

Guys,

When I was filling out the i864 again, I realized something VERY IMPORTANT. When you fill out Page 3, part 4, it automatically fills out the name on Page 12 part 11 Additional information. If you delete the name in additional information, it will delete the name in Page 3, part 4. Please keep this in mind when filling out the form. I think a lot of people, including myself may have reached the end of the form and deleted the name in additional info so as not to confuse the uscis officer, not realizing it deletes the form in part 4. Hope it helps anyone reading this.

My goodness! That is too much! Now I know why so many people got the same exact RFE. Thanks for letting us know, I was wondering how I could have made such a stupid mistake.

I can only tell you from my experience, but I got a RFIE a week after biometrics. It seems they start looking at your application after you do the biometrics.
