Radio silence since August, not too bothered though as there are thousands of people before us, and at the least she has her SS, her EAD and AP all done. 

Very true! Spouse got the SS and EAD done which has been tremendously helpful.

Still eagerly waiting for our green card approval, though. Hang in there! 😓

Our case was approved on Dec-20. Yay 

 

Got the SSN card in mail, still waiting for the actual Green Card. Hope to receive it soon.

Congrats, this is awesome news! What a great way to start the new year!

Hopefully our case will be approved soon

Had a similar RFE - Form I-693 Incomplete - last month. But they clearly mentioned what was missing with page & section number. The nurse messed up entering the vaccine information, she marked a couple of them as not applicable / not needed while the applicant did get those vaccines. We even attached the vaccine report from the doctor's office, but USCIS only considers what is specified in I-693 from the Civil Surgeon. So we went back and get a correct & complete I-693 from the same Civil Surgeon's office. Whole thing delayed because of someone else's mistake, and the nurse didn't even apologize for it plus acted as if she was doing us a favor in giving the corrected I-693. Took a week to do it too. 😠

 

Anyway, I am guessing something might have similar happened with your I-693 too. If you have a copy of what was submitted, go through every entry carefully and compare it with the medical records. Also check the non-medical data too  (Name, A-number etc) and make sure it was signed properly - both by the applicant and the surgeon.

 

P.S. - Before you ask, we submitted the revised I-693 and got a "...we received your response to our Request for Evidence for your Form I-485. USCIS has begun working on your case again" status update two business days after the package was delivered. Its been two weeks since with no further updates. I read that the final decision after a Medical RFE happens pretty quick. So hoping to get the approval soon.

 

Hi there,

I am sorry to hear about your experience with the whole I-693 process. 

Our Civil Surgeon office was just as confused by the vagueness of our RFE 😓. Nonetheless, they suggested we include an updated flu shot & the new Hep B vaccine requirement. 
Besides that nothing seems to be missing in our original medical form we submitted back in March 2022.

I have noticed a few people getting radio silence once they sent a response to RFE, while others get approved quickly. Hopefully we will receive some updates soon, but then again we are approaching the holiday season...
Thanks for sharing and fingers crossed!

Hi March 2022 filers,

We received a Medical RFE on 11/14/22 from Baltimore FO for our I-485.
It stated that the I-693 form is 'incomplete' and they need additional medical info to make a FINAL decision on our case.
They did not state exactly what was missing though. We will be mailing an updated and sealed medical form back to our FO this afternoon.

We are hoping this is a sign that our interview may be waived, but you never know.

Wishing you all the best!

Hi everyone. 
 

Fellow March AOS filer here..NOA1 3/7.

Spouse did biometrics yesterday, 4/11, and we got a notification stating EAD card is being produced this morning. Surprised at how fast things are moving!

I wonder how many cases they used to process per day for the Dec/Jan cases

thekevkev gave you a response but I wanted to add that this is why it was important to pull the Feb data for the spreadsheet before too many cases started being looked at. I wasn't really thinking about it so I know I missed a few (for example, a bunch of Feb 25 cases were processed really early).

If you look at the spreadsheet, you'll see "NOA1 date" in one column and "last updated" in another.

 

 

Not a lot happened yesterday, but another 20 got approved or RFE on Friday. 

 

that is right, i was also thinking if it was possible to pull feb data once cases were approved.

The reason behind the different dates behind the cases is the last action taken by the USCIS on the specific case.

 

For example:

Case got approved - last status change  case september 15th (NOA2)

Case was received - last status change january 28th (NOA1)

 

that makes sense, thanks!

Why do the approvals in the WACxxxxx50000 range have september NOA1 dates

Hi Guys Midweek update

pretty slow last couple of days, Next update coming over the weekend.

 

Also, I have attached two items here one is based on dates one is basically 500 blocks of WAC Numbers in case someone is wondering. 

 

 

 

 

PS: Long time coming, we got our NOA2 today. Thanks to case tracker app I got a notification around 5pm (Central time) It felt surreal as I was waiting for an RFE as mine is a little complicated case. 

Stay strong all who are still waiting, it is just time and it shall too pass

 

 

 

congrats! you have been very helpful to us
