Hey guys,

If you did not mail in I-643, Health and Human Services Statistical Data AND Evidence of one year physical presence in the United States as the supporting evidence for your GC application, will you get RFE? Anyone here was granted GC without getting RFE for not submitting those evidence? Real experience is welcomed. Thank you

Expect a RFE (which means delay in processing) in the mail soon.

I-643 is required. It has no effect on the decision but it is still required. The adjudicator who works on your case is required to forward it to another agency for their records. You might receive RFE when the adjudicator starts working on your file.

The supporting evidence for 1 year is not required if CIS records have sufficient information about you.
 
@meshabul: do u mind telling me why u got RFE? I thought u didn't fill out I-643 (based on your reply on http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?296058-I-643). Also, which service center processed your application since u get GC after approx 9 months of RD? did u get interview? thanks

My RFEs were they wanted me to send my medical report again and I had to resend G-325A. No where in the instruction do I see you have to fill out I-643. Instructions according to the USCIS are below:

Green Card for an Asylee


If USCIS granted you asylum status, you are eligible to apply for a green card (permanent residence) 1 year after receiving your grant of asylum. Your spouse and children are also eligible to apply for a green card if they were admitted to the United States as asylees or were included in your grant of asylum.

You are not required to apply for a green card; however, it may be in your best interest to do so. You may no longer qualify for asylum status with the right to remain permanently in the United States if:

country conditions change in your home country or
you no longer meet the definition of an asylee due to changed circumstances.
Eligibility Criteria
If you are an asylee, you may apply for a green card 1 year after being granted asylum if you:

Have been physically present in the United States for at least 1 year after being granted asylum
Continue to meet the definition of a asylee (or continue to be the spouse or child of such asylee)
Have not abandoned your asylee status
Are not firmly resettled in any foreign country
Continue to be admissible to the United States (A waiver may be available to you if you are now inadmissible)
Application Process
To apply for a green card, you must file the Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status.

Note: When your green card is granted, you (and your derivative family members) will have your date of adjustment of status rolled back 1 year from the date your green card is granted.

Supporting Evidence For Form I-485
If your asylum status is granted, you should file a Form I-485 with the following supporting documentation (in this order):

Completed and signed Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status
Completed and signed Form I-693, Report of Medical Exam and Vaccination Record, if required. For more information, see
the Instructions for Form I-693
the Immigration Medical Examination page
Applicable fees
Asylees must pay the Form I-485 application fee and the fingerprint fee
Applicants under the age of 14 do not need to submit a fingerprint fee
Completed and signed Form I-602, Application by Refugee for Waiver of Grounds of Excludability (if applicable)
Copy of your I-94 card
Asylees may also submit a copy of their approval notice granting asylum or a copy of the immigration judge’s orders showing that you were granted asylum
A completed Form G-325A, Biographic Information Sheet, if you are between 14 and 79 years of age
Certified copies of court records (if you have been arrested)
Two passport-style photos
 
I am confused about the One year evidence as well...do people get RFE's for that alone if they haven't travelled outside the U.S? Would paystubs from the same employer work if someone had worked at a place and there was a break in the employement and then started working again for the same employer or is it going to make it more complicated for USCIS to understand that ending up wanting more evidence loll....?
