We received an RFE for my sibling..
I was shocked when i saw it lol. I think we may have received the stupidest rfe :) apparently my father forgot to sign and date the affidavit of support. it was a mistake done by us.. ( and i still don't get it since we went over the package sooo many times)
So he signed it and we mailed it today.
I hope it doesn't delay the process for too long.

I'm happy to say that I received my letter to go have biometrics done this month. I'm not sure if they will re-do them again because when they check there computer on our scheduled day, they will see that my husband and I had them done just last year (around July). In any case we seem to be moving along smoothly so far, so I just hope all goes well this time.

Update, we were on our way to Orlando for the weekend and decided to pass in to the office in Tampa and it was practically empty so they let us do them a couple days ahead of time, hopefully we should get our new Work Permits in about a weeks time from today (1/21/10). Actually for those wondering we only had to fingerprint one finger and take over a new photo, so we were out of there in maybe 10 mins. if so long.:)

I sent it USPS priority mail with online tracking.
I have sent everything to USCIS that way and it usually gets delivered within 2 days.
I see you have an RFE too.
I hope it doesn't stall the process for both of us.

And congrats to those who did their fps.
 
Iam also in same situation as Kops.... i also got the dreaded yellow rfe....sent it back on the 19th also by express mail...i dont know if they got it yet...

Aaww, sorry to hear that dec09filer, I thought you would be fine. Well did you send it to MSC or where at? They did not have express service to Lee's Summit unfortunately... So I'm hoping monday at the latest.

Naas,

I'm hoping the same thing as well. I know a RFE can delay things a bit. But i tried my best to do a speedy response.. I guess my EAD won't come till mid next month
 
Dec09Flier,
If you dont mind me asking, but did they ask for the Birth Certificate of the sponser? I find it surprising, since they dont ask for it explicitly anywhere (the documentation for 485 or 130).
And I should be expecting it too soon....

Sure, the 800 number to USCIS is 1-800-375-5283. Two ways to get a rep... press 1 for English, then after the messages about extended hours and special status because of the earthquake press 2 to check case status, then 3 for I don't have a receipt number. The other way is to not hit anything don't even hit 1 for English and it will think that you are calling from the old rotary phones, however, every time I tried that I got put into the Spanish que and could not tell the difference between a recording and a live person.
 
Birth certificate was for me the intended immigrant. I used my naturalized card for Canada hoping they would accept that as proof of birth. Thats totally used in Canada in place of birth certificate. But here i guess they want the original bc. I was born in Haryana state India in the most backward place you could find.

My mom flew from Canada (thats where my family lives). She was made to drive in circles between the municipal courts, district registar,hospital for days on end. Ofcouse it was during the freezing weather/fog. They would tell her its a holiday or the officer didnt come in. She would sit there day after day until dark waiting for some chap to show up to do his job. Finally she got the darned thing after days. This Rfe was a pain in the rear. I was a baby when my family moved to canada. So being a foreigner we got worst service (should have taken ten minutes and 15 rupees). But i sent the courier from my mom to Lee Summitt by express on the 19th. Its finally there this morning. Hopefully this hasnt delayed me too much.

well, i sent my own aos package in november as you can see from my signature.. and even if the rfe my ead was issued around the same time as others. but i still havent received the interview letter while some of the november filers have gone into their interview. I think the delay of the interview letter is b/c of the rfe. but i don't think it affected the ead process much.
But then again, who knows what USCIS is doing? I think everyone has a different experience.
I hope everything works out for you and your process goes smoothly :)
