Any May filers around?

Got RFE for I-485 saying Birth certificate is not available. :mad:
The worst part is I've included a letter from Govt of India saying the birth is not registered and with that I've enclosed copies of affidavits of two family friends. Now they are asking for the same.

Sometimes I wonder what kind of people work at USCIS. Not really paying attention and playing like this. :mad: :(

Anyway, I have to reply to the RFE tonight.

One more update is, I received the I-131 NOA. :) . Which is good news

Will keep all of you posted. Goodluck everyone.
 
Got receipt notices

I filed I-130 and I-485 for both my parents and received receipt notices today.

I cannot see the status online with the receipt numbers yet. Is that common? When should I expect to see the status online.

Thanks.

Double ouch! :eek:

about 3x times the current cost... I wonder if it means they will process applications 3x times faster? :)

I doubt it! I think their press release actually promised 20% faster. :p To be fair, I think the I-485 fee will then also include a "free" EAD and AP filing along with I-485. Sux for those that don't need EAD or AP. I guess immigration fee inflation is now officially worse than gas price inflation.

I guess we can look at it as our contribution to reducing the national debt. ;)

How long does USCIS take to resume processing on a case after an RFE? I got one with ND of 5/22/07 and the LUD on the case were on 5/23/07. I am mailing the RFE back today (overnight it).

Any clues?
 
Just had my FP this morning. Was expecting a guy with a roller / ink, and some paper .. and leaving with black fingers lol. I love technology... Was a painless process. Hopefully my IRS transcripts will be waiting for me at home tonight so I can respond to my RFE.
 
I got a better employment letter to take with me to the interview as support documents. But anyways, I hope my RFE gets processed fast... I did not like getting one, but I just hope that is all... scary yellow paper :(

Mors, you are right, we seem to have some timelines. I just checked and I had LUDs on I130 and I765 on 05/30. Anyway, whats your DO? And does anybody know what the LUDs on I-130 and I-765 are for? This is because I have not seen anybody getting LUDs between the NOA receipts and the FP date
