It seems like USCIS has approved a lot of applications recently which has created some backlogs in card production. Just hang in there. Good things you know she was approved 😊

I only got 1 email “we have taken action on your case” early in the morning around 5:41am on march 14. I know there would be a delay on update so I didnt check the status immediately. Around noon, the status changed to “Card was delivered to me by the post office”. Other than that i didnt get any email notifications for “card is being produced” or “card was produced” at all. Just know that they are working on your card production without updating your status lol. At least a bunch of people have experienced the same thing as I have seen. If they do update yours, consider yourself lucky 😅

Good for you!! Are you adjusting from K1? Mine was delivered yesterday after a whole week of no status updates whatsoever. It went straight from “card was produced” to me got it in the mail.

The first expedition was on 02/14/23. I got an email requesting additional documents a few hours after referral number was created. I faxed all docs later on the same day. Did not hear anything in the meantime. I decided to fax the same docs 2 more times a few days after. Half a mont went by, decided to give another try. Second expedition was on 03/01/23. Got the same email I got the first time within a few hours. Faxed THE SAME docs I did the first time right away. Got it approved on 03/06/23.

EAD approved after 2 expedite requests 🙏

Did they state directly they used unsolicited evidence you uploaded in the FOIA response letter? I'm still skeptical because a tons of people in this forum claim that USCIS don't even bother to look at those evidence and suggest us to bring them to the interview instead.

Hi guys, We finally found a joint sponsor with great income and proper W2 tax and all the good stuff. We sent our response to RFIE off on Monday 11/14/22. How long does USCIS typically update the status that they have received the mail package on the USCIS online portal? I have seen lots of people get their EAD approved within 30 days. Hoping mine will progress that fast as well but having RFIE in the mean time is frustrating.

Well, as far as I know, they only consider tax documents for the most recent years which is 2021. If your "TOTAL INCOME line on IRS Form 1040" does not meet the HHS poverty guidelines for affidavit of support (for reference, find it HERE), then you need to find a joint sponsor. Unless you have other assets to make up a deficiency. It seems to me that I-864 is the trickiest parts of the whole AOS application because according to people experienced, USCIS is likely to issue RFE in regards to this.

I got a RFIE as well. Does your income meet the requirements? Check again if you’ve missed to provide any financial documents? If not, better off finding a joint sponsor to limit any delays. We’ll send our RFIE response tomorrow.

Do you have an online account? Check your Documents tab, the biometric notice should be there. You can also connect with live chat agent and ask for your biometric appt date. That’s what I did. If not, just wait for the notice in the mail.

Thank you guys. My friend used this lawyer office before and they were super helpful for her case. They are helpful for ours too. My friend got her green card within 4 months from the start to finish with no RFEs whatsoever. That's how I really believe on whatever they advised us to do though I still do a lot of research on my end to see how things are going.

Hi guys. I just decided to register for an online account and was able to see the RFIE online. Thanks to @Family , I learned that as long as I dont withdraw form G-28 under "Case Actions", mail notice will be sent to both my address and the lawyer address as stated on the G-28 form. Back to the main point. As most of yall have already guessed, the RFIE is for I-864. So my lawyer did include bank statements showing sufficient amount of more than 20k on his savings account, but she only included January 2022 and the most recent bank statement to show how consistent the savings amount is within a year. According to the RFIE, they mentioned "Bank statements covering the last 12 months" in the first bullet for "Acceptable evidence of assets". So I see where the flaw is now. Nevertheless, just to be on the safe side, my aunt will get on board to co-sign for our affidavit of support I-864.

Thank you for your insights. 4. For some reasons, my lawyer told me not to register for an online account because it may interfere with her getting copy of notice. That sounds odd to me. But I have not experienced this before so I chose not to do so. If I do, do you think it will cause any problems?

You will get it soon. Depends on how busy your nearest ASC is though. From the date I submitted the application to the Biometric appointment date is exactly 5 weeks.

I'm still waiting for the notice in the mail. Since it's a request for initial evidence for I-485, I'm thinking there's something wrong with I-864. Since I'm about 2 weeks away from Biometric appointment, I think we will have enough time to respond to the request. I've seen people get their EAD produced in the same day with their biometric day so I'm really hopeful. How's your process so far? Are your receipts IOE 917?
