Lay-Off after 180 Days & RFE
Hi all,
I was issued an RFE on Feb 27 but I have not received it. I was going to tell this forum when I received the letter because most people would be interested in what the RFE was about.
Here\'s my story: When I received my fingerprint instructions a long time ago (Jan/01), I received a yellow letter asking for a letter of employment. We mailed that in. As of December 31, 2001, my company nolonger existed because it had been bought by a competitor and I was not hired by the acquiring company (so I was laid off). I was working for another new company 2 months before my old company closed at the same time as I have an EAD. I was employed by my sponsoring company for over 425 days, well above the 180 day requirement. I am now issued an RFE on Feb 27 but I am not sure what it could be. My wife worked illegally as a student over 7 years ago but we have set aside the $1000 in a CD (claim 245i) for when the golden moment arrives when the INS wants the money. I will let you know when I get it, what the darn thing is about.
