Employment letter, and other stuff
Don\'t quote me on it, but I think the employment letter is a REQUIRED part of the I-485; paystubs and W-2s are NOT. You folks may want to check with your lawyers on this.
I haven\'t seen my RFE yet, but chances are (we can only hope!) it\'s about a birth certificate -- I\'m from Canada, and the province I\'m from (Quebec) has some weird birth cert forms and they may need a longer-form one.
I chatted with my lawyer today, and he noted that RFEs are very common and not a big deal at this stage of a Green Card app. For those of you worrying... I understand; I\'ve had more than my share of musing and worrying about the whole process, when it\'ll be done, etc... look on the bright side: your case has been assigned to an officer, they\'re ready to finish it up, and just want a bit more info before making a final decision. Sure, an out-and-out approval would be better, but at least here, you\'re the next-closest to it. If your situation is good, your laywer competent, and your company willing, you\'re almost homefree.
Have a good weekend, everyone! Will stay in touch with things as they develop.
