November 1-485 Filers pls post

Would you mind telling us what your RFE was about?

Hey my November people let's try and stay positive. CSCC, TOPEKA6000 as you all have discovered we have RFEs on the way. I also thought I sent everything required but let's wait and see. No need to panic guys.

Mistborn have you checked you status online yet? Lady M have done your bios yet?


boboclan,

I did my biometrics at the Philadelphia ASC. There was only a few persons there. The whole thing took about 20 - 30 minutes.
Hey you guys with RFE's, no worries just try to expedite the information requested. All the best.

R2010, any updates?
 
Hi LadyM,
I also did my biometrics today. It was really fast too. I also found a very nice lawyer that I am considering to accompany me to the interview, she was very reasonable and I definatelly don't need a EAD card for the interview.. Besides that I have no updates to give...Now we just need to seat and wait for the next step... I know a girl from Newark that is now waiting for a interview letter for about 2 months (she did a bio walk-in back on October/or begning of November..) So I guess Newark is a busy office.
Well, we are almost there LadyM :)!!!!

Hi all,

R2010, thanks for the update.

After several weeks of waiting, I am happy to report that I received the finger printing notice for my mother's 485/765 application. Date is Jan 24th and it is in Oakland, CA. I still cannot check the cases online but I feel relieved that the case did not fall through a crack in the USCIS system. I plan to do biometrics on the scheduled date and not do any walk-in.

Application package sent 11-09-2010 by Priority Mail
Package received by USCIS 11-12-2010.
Email & SMS Acknowledgement received 11-17-2010

Finally got my RFE dated 12/27/2010 the day the case appeared online even though the online status said it was mailed on 12/23. Good way to close the year. The RFE was about my I-693. The medical exam was dated outside the time frame for the form revision I mailed. I have to submitted another one (revision 02/25/10 or later)
Happy new year guys and hope the new year will bring good news to us.

Hey Guys,

A very happy and prosperous New Year to all. I'm sure there is going to be bright days ahead for us.

boboclan, CSCC, dont let the RFE dampen new year's for you. Keep the faith, and have a blessed year.

Good to hear that your relative got the bio.
You are not able to check online?May be they made some mistake for data entry??
Any way system is working as you recd. bio.That at least known now (indirect way)!
 
UPDATE: My Biometrics letter was in my house. My housemate wrapped it all up in my laundry and dumped it in my laundry basket. Found it today when I was sorting my clothes. The appointment is set for 01/04/2010, but I think I will do a walk-in tomorrow to get it out of the way. Hopefully my RFE letter doesn't get "lost" too because Boboclan and CSCC's RFEs are dated the same as mine and they have received it while I am still waiting. Happy New Year everyone!
 
Here is my journey - Its not complete yet.
• Currently on F1 since Aug 2006. (Currently on OPT with fulltime job)
• Married to LPR in March 2008.
• Wife applied for I130 in May 2010 (Under F2A).
• I130 Approved in Sep, 2010.
• Applied AOS /EAD/AP on Nov 1st, 2010.
• Received NOA on Nov 11th, 2010.
• Biometrics scheduled and submitted on Dec 10th, 2010 at Albany, NY.
• Interview Date Jan, 25th 2011.
• EAD/AP – Yet not received.
I am still wondering what will happen after interview as visa date is retrogressed back to 2008. Can I expect approval after successful visa interview?
 
Update

MY I485 appeared online today: RFE. Also my I765 is now on Card/Document Production.. Yay :D They sent it Dec.30.2010
 
Congrats LVNV, I've also sent another I-693 form to USCIS as requested in REF hopefully I'm still in the regular time frame...
