Ugh... bad news!
I got an email from USCIS and I guessed it was my EAD ordered notice because some of you with similar timelines have received yours this week... instead, it's an RFE notice and they've suspended my I-485 until I give them the extra evidence (I don't actually know what they need - I guess I'll get the letter in the mail this week with the details.)
I am feeling so disheartened. It's been 60 days since I filed my I-485 and I thought I was past the point where you'd normally get an RFE... I have no idea what could be missing from my application, we were thorough to the point of overkill!
Blah. I am desperately homesick and miserable not working... if one more person tells me "oh, you must feel so lucky, you married an American and you can get your citizenship" I think I'll go postal! I'd much rather live in Australia, but my husband has a job here he loves and we bought a house just before the crash so he doesn't want to leave anytime soon. I was coping ok thinking I could visit home soon but now I just feel deflated... I feel so claustrophic here. I grew up traveling constantly and I'm not used to being stuck in one place.
I'm 100% legal and our marriage is as real as it comes so this is just frustrating - I know there's not a real problem with my case, whatever is holding us up has to be something trivial and stupid! I guess I'll find out soon enough...
I know it's probably wishful thinking, but the notice just said they'd suspended my I-485.... does that mean my EAD and advanced parole applications might still be ticking along, or do they get canned too?
Wishing you all better luck... my gorgeous husband knows I'm miserable so he's cooking me dinner tonight, better go check on him before he burns the kitchen down
