So a pink slip RFIE your whole clock will restart? 

Hey everyone! Got an RFIE (after not hearing anything for ages) apparently they want me to redo my i864. Do you guys have tips on how you did yours/how you organized your file with what was included? I'm a bit confused with the w2, 1099 tax returns or tax transcripts etc. Thank you in advance!! And good luck to everyone getting their EAD's, this job search feels like another long wait

Okay, you’ll definitely have to get the proof of financial lost documents ready then.

Yes i'll keep you all updated. if anyone has advice or tips let me know!

It means your expedition process has been completed and you’ll either receive a RFE if necessary or an approval. By the way, how did you do? Please explain a little bit your own story coz I also wanna expedite mine

Oh I think it'll be an RFE then. The reason i'm confused is because i didn't do much actually. I called and said i wanted to try expediting my EAD, they asked under what category i said financial loss and they said what can i prove for financial loss and that she would write down notes on my case i said maxed out credit cards, car loan payments and student loans as well as my husband only having a part time job. Then she gave me that ref number and said they'd get back to me within 5 days!

Guys i called yesterday (15th) and spoke to an officer about expediting my case and she gave me a reference number and said they'd get back to me within 5 days. This is what my case tracker says. I'm confused - which comes first? Did they decide already? I also didn't get any emails or anything.

Congrats! What’s your PD and field office? Can you help out a little bit with the expedite process?

Agree!

Thank you!!!

 

though if we have to prove financial burden or loss, I don’t think there is any way to expedite because he is here based on my income (K1 visa) and my ability to support him, which I can, am, and do.

 

Sure would be good for him though. He’s bored as heck and feels he has no purpose:(

 

 

I know how he feels its terrible! I tried expediting but the place i went to interview didnt want to give the job offer letter and do it that way they just said to come back once i have everything. So i'm going to try just at a normal retail store maybe it'll be easier that way and i'll try expediting.

Does anyone here have any advice/tips/experience expediting their EAD?

If everyone contributes, this would be a great way of keeping a pulse as to how the various offices are processing the applications. One suggestion would be to include columns for RFIE notice received, response sent, and acknowledged.

Good luck!!

Just got the normal e-mail saying they're still processing my case and there are no updates. I haven't gotten any courtesy letters or any RFIES, wondering if they just aren't looking at mine or if i'm really not getting any. Hope it's that i'm not getting any and that they'll be moving me along soon. Ugh waiting with no updates is so hard!

Thanks, I missed a mail that was returned to the USCIS last week, probably due to the usual problem we've been having with our mail since our new neighbor moved in. But I called the USCIS Customer service and i was told they will work on it and get back to me. But they leave me a code for reference purpose and asked me to call after 30 days incase there is no response.

Was it your EAD? When did you file?

1 minute ago, txkangaroo said:

I can totally relate. There's a FB group for Texas filers and people from Oct 2016 are stilllllllllllll waiting for their interview since last September (after Harvey not many cases moved I guess).

 

I wanted to move to NC or IL, given they are processing within six months haha. But it's just a dream coz hubby and I both have jobs we don't want to lose ...

 

Since Mar 8, my case didn't even move to "we reviewed bio" like other posts had.

Oh wow, where are you guys seeing all of this? I'd love to check out what's going on with Boston filing

Yes because when you get your GC your EAD is cancelled 

Has anyone from Feb gotten EAD's or Interviews?

Mime case still in "reviewing" after the biometrics but today will be an update of the system maybe someone could hace some news 

How do you know it's going to be updated? My status hasn't changed since I first submit everything on the case tracker but myaccount.uscis just says they received my biometrics on April 4th

1 minute ago, N & JJ said:

I think it starts from the day you send the correct application. What date does your 797 Notice show for date revived? but if you sent it shortly  after, it shouldn’t be too long after.

Makes sense. My notice date was March 23rd. I originally filed everything on feb 1st but it took about 3 weeks for them to send my NOA's on that (and the request to refile EAD) and then after i refiled the EAD like 2-3 days later another 3 weeks to say they received it  haha. Anyone know about expediting the EAD's? I've been wanting to try it since we're going through some financial hardship.

Just now, karor said:

I also have the same update since April 4th as well.

I'm wondering if we're not going to get any RFIE's or courtesy letters. I'm pretty sure my medical form is old since I did it in the summer or something but I haven't gotten anything in the mail or any updates on my case on those. Do they send you case updates online when you're supposed to get any of these?

Hello guys, on April 4th my status changed from "we received your case" to "We reviewed your biometrics and are still processing your case". I couldn't find much information on the Internet about this message and its meaning. It seems to me a very unnecessary update but it doesn't seem a lot of people get this update neither so it makes me concerned if there are any problems on my case (like failed the FBI background check or something). 

 

I am located in Los Angeles and here is my timeline:

Feb 12  package sent

Feb 21  App received 

Mar 13  Biometrics done 

Apr 4  Case status updated

I have that same update. Not on the original USCIS website since it hasn't updated but on myaccount.uscis

I have a question! When i initially filed everything my EAD application was sent back to me (with a green paper on top) stating that i used an old form and to refile. I refiled shortly after, however I was wondering if i lost my place in line. Like would my EAD application still be in place with the rest of mine? Or did it technically restart from day 0? If anyone knows what i mean? Hard to explain kind of.

Good news folks.  Largely, I think I am an outlier on this forum, my AOS is based upon an approved I-140 (EB-1) but I received the notice that my EAD has been approved.  Application sent on Feb. 27 and received notice of approved EAD on April 5.  No word on my spouses EAD, hopefully a letter of approval arrives soon. 

It must be because you were a different type of application! But congrats, so happy for you!

Anyone know what areas the people who are getting their interview dates are in?

Also any updates from anyone here? Feel like we've been waiting forever

Update: The letter was for another biometrics appointment (for the i-765) since I had to resubmit that. Kind of annoying that they won't just use the one I already did but oh well! Better than getting bad news. I think i'll try do an early walk in for this one.

Well, a courtesy letter may mean that there weren’t any deficiencies during the initial processing of your documents and the USCIS may just be writing to remind about a document to bring at the interview.

Thank you!

Lol don’t worry too much my friend. 

However as it relates to courtesy letters of the medical I have no idea if we will or we won’t I asked the same question before but never got an answer  so I’d love to know myself but let’s keep our fingers cross let us know when you receive it 

Will do! Thanks

4 minutes ago, JayDGODITRUST said:

I just checked your timeline but realize you didn’t fill one out.  However It my be a courtesy letter stating the medical I -693 if you didn’t respond to one. But let’s hope it’s not a RFIE

I hope so. It freaked me out to be honest haha. Going to be stalking that mail truck.

So if we get a courtesy letter does that mean we won't be getting an RFIE?

Thanks!
