You are experiencing normal processing.   I485s are taking 60 to 75 plus days to get to a reviewer's desk.  You are not there yet 

Correct,  for those of us who experienced the May biometrics scheduling snafu,  some were getting RFEs before the biometrics appointment 

An RFE can come at any time prior to approval (or denial). Usually it's after biometrics but not always.

They issue it when they get around to reviewing the file.   Biometrics appointment is no indication of future results 

After biometrics -once they can actually review your file, which will happen months from now- or after the interview.

Did you indicate the name of the app/website when you sent the form?
Yes we did attach it

Hi guys!
 
I am a Feb 2018 filer and still waiting for the noa 2. We have been waiting for 237 days now. We’ve already sent our first service request and was told that they placed our case on hold because the security check is still pending and they cant move forward without it. 
 
Earlier today, I received an email from USCIS that they have taken an action on our case and when I checked it, it says that “the name was updated on Oct. 2” The thing is we didn’t request for any information to be updated. So my fiance contacted uscis and spoke to a tier 2 officer. They just told him that it was nothing, like they were just refreshing their system and it’s still the same. No update and still pending.
 
I’m so worried about our case guys. Anybody here who experienced the same thing?? 
I also want to know why our case is pending due to security check even though we don’t have any records. Should we send a new service request again? Or should we consider contacting a senator about this situation? 
 
Thank you guys! 

Hi everyone,
 
 
I have already submitted my ds160 and scheduled my exam on the 7th of march. just realized that I made some mistakes I was not able to tick the “I hereby certify that I have received a copy of the IMBRA pamphlet as part of my application packet”
 
and entered the wrong date of when I graduated. Will this cause a problem? It it possible to create a new ds160 and then bring the old and new revised confirmation page on the 7th? 
 
Thank you! 
 
 

They ship out case files to the embassies every other week. Next shipment is next week T/W 1/22 and 1/23. So you are still in normal processing. It will take a day or so to arrive at USEM. It will take them about a week to 10 days to set your record to "ready" condition. At that time you can schedule your interview and medical and gather the other documents needed. In the mean time look over and read the information in the following links and join us over in the sub-forum with your USEM specific questions.

Also, there is a sub-forum for the Philippines here on VJ that you should be a part of. It's a good place to read what others are experiencing which will only prepare you for your interview.

Manila US Embassy states that a scanned copy of the signed I-134 is fine, if you don't have the original.

To be fair I don’t think the OP is complaining about legitimate fees to do with the immigration process like application fees. Everyone who gets into the immigration netherworld knows fees are part of what is.
 
His gripe seems to be more about unexplained fees which seem to crawl out of the woodwork. 

Thank you so much!! 😊😊😊

We’re at 262 days already and our case is still pending. 
 
You’re still within the normal processing time. Be patient

They just told us that the security check is pending and that they cant move forward without it. The security check was sent on Sep 9. And they replied on sep 19. Even now it’s still security check pending

you don't say what visa this is for or what office or what embassy
many times a name pops up that needs further security checks as it is the same as another's 
My name, itself,  pops up as a dr,  a deceased person and if,  I do people finder, there are names associated to me (i do not know) and states i never lived in along with states i did live in
so, at USCIS stage when they imput your info,  this shows up on petitioner 
at NVC and embassy stage it is all about the Beneficary and for instance,  an Arab name is used over and over
 
so, the name update could have been for a clearance needed as someone had same name as you
