Re: Problems with my I-131 and RFE
Hi Rajiv:
I filed for my green card (through marriage with an US citizen) application in July, please can you help me with the following questions:
Here's my filing status:
6/17/08 Got Married
7/11/08 Mailed I-485, I-130,I-765 to Chicago
7/14/08 USCIS received documents
7/20/08 - 7/22/08 Receipts for I-485, I-130 & I-765
& FP notice (for 08/09/08)
7/29/08 Mailed I-131 application
08/05/08 Received Receipt for I-131
08/08/08 Received email that RFE for I-485 has been sent out
08/09/08 FP for I-485 & I-765. Even though I already have the receipt
no. for I-131 but the immigration officer said that I will be receiving
another notice for another fingerprinting for I-131! I have not received
that yet.
08/18/08 Called USCIS Helpline regarding my RFE since I have't received
it yet. They said that I need to wait 15 days before I can call to ask
for it re-sent to me.
1. My paralegal warned me not to file for I-131, he said that it could
cause problems. I still filed for it anyway later on. It seems that
after I received the receipt for I-131 (08/05/08) that later on
immigration sent out the request for further evidence for my I-485
(08/08/08). Could that be the case?
2. My paralegal told me that as soon as I receive the receipt for I-765
that I could start working immediately. However, today I called
the USCIS helpline and they said that I have to wait for the actual
EAD document to arrive before I could start working. Has anyone's
lawyer/ paralegal also told them that they could start working as soon
as they receive the receipt for I-765?
3. When I went for my FP for I-485 and I-765, the immigration officer
there told me that if I want to request for expedited processing for
my I-131, then I need to visit the local office (Los Angeles) and
reapply there personally myself. Otherwise, it would take 3 months
before I'm granted my Travel Document. Would I be able to go to the
local office and reapply for an expedited processing for my I-131?
4. I tried to make an appointment with InfoPass but all the dates are just
blocked and I am unable to make an online appointment with my local
office, what should I do?
Thank you so much!
Thanks
