I hope you are next Sorrayah!
BMORE HOPEFUL,
I hope so too. I really need my EAD so I can start to work. We will see...
Need advise
First of all, not everyone is getting EAD in 4-5 weeks after FP. My FP was done on March 1st but still not EAD or AP..... So I guess the notion is not true....
besides this, I got couple questions. Can we delay interview process after getting ID letter? I am really thinking that it is best way for me to go. We have been married for year and half now. Even if I get ID letter today, I dont expect to get Interview date within next 10 days....so more than likely Interview will be after 2-3 months. That puts me at 1-3/4 of years in marriage, near two years but short of 2
1. Will I get Conditional GC even after being married for more than 1-3/4 of year or 10 yr GC ?
2. If I can delay my interview by 2-3 months, it would be 2 yrs since we married? So can I delay the interview? if so what would be procedure for it?
Gurus, Please advise...
Thanks
Raj

That is a very good question. My 2nd wedding anniversary will be on the end of December 2008. I was thinking the same. It don't feel like applying for 10 years gc right after I receive the 2year one. Thanks for asking that!!!!
You cant even apply for 10 yrs after 2 yrs of marriage...its 2 yrs of GC which you go by if you get conditional GC....So one has to deal with USCIS again in 2 yrs time.....
i had my FP done on 3/13/08 so i hope i get an update on the EAD soon. BUT i also got a RFE so im not sure how the timeline changes with that.

actually i know someone who got their 10 yr GC cos they were married for more than 2 years when they applied for their GC.

Advice needed...
For those who knows my situation and for those who don't... I so far have received one RFE for my birth certificate which has been taken care of. A 2nd RFE has been issued on April 2nd which has yet to be received. Since it has been 14 days from date of issuance, a request for a copy of that 2nd RFE has been made. They have asked me to allow up to 30 days for that copy to be received.
Since I have no clue as to what the nature of this 2nd RFE is, it could be a number of things. The only paperwork that wasn't included when I filed the application were the 2007 tax returns of my sponsor (mother) and that of the person who signed off on my affidavit of support (sister)... but I have reasons to believe it may not be that.
So say the 2nd RFE that is in transit isn't about the 2007 tax returns... should I push my lawyer/secretary to enclose the 2007 tax returns of my parents and sister anyway... just so as to avoid a 3rd possible RFE? When I spoke to the secretary handling the case, and offered her to mail the office the 2007 tax returns so they could have a copy, she declined saying it wasn't necessary... giving me the vibe she has no intentions of enclosing the 2007 tax returns if that isn't what it's about. I don't see how one would get penalized by attaching a letter to the response to the RFE stating something to the extent of "we've also taken the liberty to enclose the most recent 2007 tax returns"
I know it is all based on speculations that this long awaited 2nd RFE isn't about the 2007 tax returns... but I am pulling hair over the fact it has seemingly been lost and that I am now to wait up to 30 days for a copy of it. So far I am behind by 1-2 months... it would be cruel for them to receive whatever paperwork they are now asking for and say "ok, now let's send him a RFE for the 2007 tax returns"
Opinions appreciated!

Just send it!
I don't think it would harm your case to send an extra not-requested document! I received one RFE end of Feb asking for my husband's 2006 tax return and since he already had his 2007 filed then I included that one as well. You don't have any idea what the RFE is but if I was you I would just include the 2007 tax return no matter what. But again I don't have any lawyer and I made all the decisions so I don't know how to deal with them if they are the one in charge!
Good Luck

The upside...
Thank you for the advice! I called USCIS again... so the copy request is confirmed... and also asked a silly question... as to whether pending RFEs hold back FBI check... and it doesn't or so they say... so I guess it's something to be glad about... although this time they told me to allow 45-60 days to receive the copy... I'm afraid to call back again... I might be told to wait 6-12 months for it... after all it must be a crazy concept to reprint and mail a letter
