Basically everything possible, everything that I sent them already. When you're reading the RFE, it's going to tell you what you sent them already and the next page it's going to ask the same things and in the last page of it it's going to say do not send the copies of the documents you submitted before. So it's not fun unfortunately, I'm sorry you got one too. 

pfffffffffffffffffff nice. Thank you for sharing, I'm trying to keep my chin up.

I sent my RFE back on Thursday 29th. But I didn't use the envelope they sent, I tape it on top of the bigger one. Fingers crossed! 

What documents did they request from you?

bummed out, my case updated but its a RFE 😓

Not suuuuper helpful! I was told it was probably a system error and my address was updated the day I changed it. I think I'm going to sign up for an account finally like the rep suggested.

Following this because I’m about to move soon. Maybe try calling them? 

Guess I'll have to give them a ring soon, even though I am loathe to. I'll update when I do.

I moved in early April and updated to my current address on the USCIS website, however I received a forwarded piece of mail from USCIS just last week intended for my old address.

How long does it take for USCIS to process your CoA? I'm very confused.

No, they don't refund anyone.

No, I wasn't expecting one lol.

I never did get to go to my March appointment, but my case status was updated to show bio's were taken today! Think they'll refund the $85.00? 🤪

I was scheduled to get my biometrics for ROC in March when the field offices shut down. Is everyone on edge about this? It’s very difficult not having all the details while the president vague tweets at you.

Crud, really? Did they update their website? Last time I looked after I got my letter, they said not to go if you’ve been traveling or sick and reschedule 😞. 

I'm really bummed, but it's for the best.

USCIS is closed at least through April 1st, so you won’t be able to go in for your biometrics. They will send you a new appointment after the offices reopen to the public.

What did you get? If you dont mind me asking... 

Oh my biometrics appointment! Sorry...lol.

I did it. I got it. Going in on the 27th and hoping I don't get the COVID-19.

I recieved a letter dated 12/20/19 as well but mine was for  a second biometrics appt! I did my appt Dec 20th. I called today and was told to call back tommorow and speak to tier 2 or just go again to appt on new letter scheduled for January 7th. I think I will call. Strange.

I haven't even received one bio appointment yet...sheesh! What can you do though.

Did they both have the same information on them? 

Yes as far as I can tell, except one is dated as 12/4/19 and the other as 12/20/19.

Has anyone else received two NOAs? I thought I got my biometrics appointment today but it was just another NOA. 😒

Every interaction I've had with CBP has been polite, courteous and efficient. I don't doubt that some people have bad encounters but, I can't understand why you're so concerned unless you're giving them reason to be concerned?

 

You've got great advice from everyone, you *can* travel while in the ROC process so long as you have sufficient documentation (extension letter, green-card whether expired or unexpired etc).

I’m easily intimidated I guess. After going into secondary questioning once while traveling I've been wary. That was nerve racking.

Yep, immigration wise there's no problem at all to travel, but some people just have bad anxiety and stress that stops them from doing regular things in life. 

I don't know how anyone can handle CBP. I haven't really had big issues yet, but I'm always worried they won't let me in lol. 😬

Why do you need to stay away from travelling? 

Travelling with an extension letter and an expired greencard would make me way too nervous with CBP.

I know that I am not unable to travel, but it would be very uncomfortable for me. 

I sent my application Nov 25th with UPS, but it was delayed do to weather 🙄. Got a text from USCIS this morning that it's being processed.

Guys is the EPT on the application really over a year? Abstaining from travel in that time is going to be really rough 😢

According to CNN article:

 

The bill also requires applicants, if they want to bring a spouse with them, to calculate the points the spouse would earn under the same rubric.

Spouses who meet optimal requirements in age, education (unless you have a masters+) and fluency still fall short without a job offer...yikes

This news seems overwhelming since I don't understand how legislation is passed in the US (at least not fully anyways). I just filed for AOS in July and this is like a punch to the gut.

I know, that's so weird right?!

You guys know snowbirds are mostly Canadians who travel to the USA to get away from the winter right? 

Thanks for the all the input guys
