RFI or RFE (Yellow paper)

[lee_haircut5]

Ok, I got the yellow paper too (RFI or RFE) that requests the I-693 and supplemental form and the biographic form G325A by May 30 2005.

My ND is July 2000.

My brother, with ND of JANUARY 2001, also got the same thing.

The question is:
In the letter, USCIS did NOT tell us where to mail all this evidence. For those who have responded - where did you mail it guys?

Also, both of us HAVE submitted medical evidence when we first submitted the I-485. So, this is not just for someone who did not submit the medical the first time around.

What is going on? Is USCIS moving faster? Or is this a routine just like the FP?

Btw, both our update date in the online portfolio changed.

I was crossing my fingers that People with ND of (01/2001 +) wouldn't get the RFI..I am ND (may 01)...I was thinking that if they do that, it means they are just sending RFI's to applications to clear them up and maybe get rid of some more who don't respond...

There is no way the processing dates for this fiscal year could go to 01/2001..That doesn't sound right...


I thought RFI was good news but I guess not. Just like last years massive FP's were thought to be good news but werent.

Its request for initial evidence.

They might send you an RFE later on.

kaoticfury, Have you received any RFI or RFE?...

lee_haircut5!
On the top right hand corner of the letter, there is indeed a P.O. Box address. I used that address to send my documents. Also mention at the address tab outside the envelop "Request for Initial Evidence"

wantmygcnow!
They are asking for brand new medical in all of these "RFI" (some new drama created by CIS). And medicals are valid for 1 year. So if CIS is acting in their right mind, they should intend to adjust all these RFI's within a 1 year time frame if not less.

Guys,

Did your status on the website changed after you got RFIs?

 

[Lazerthegreat]

NO! After receiving RFI's in mail, the dates in my account have become stagnant.

We received RFIE (request for initial evidence) today. It looks the same, I-693 and G325A by May 30 2005. The notice date is March 07.

Our ND is August 2000,
No medical exam was submitted with I-485.
Having been abroad once with RTD.
FP last year.

I concur with the views of Kaotifury and wantmyGCnow. We learn one thing though--INS seems to processes cases fairly sparodically. My RD is in Dec'00, but some people in Jan'01 are getting notified or receiving notices of RFI/RFE. How did they pick Jan'01 before Dec'00 unless they are using the principle of LIFO?

 

[Lazerthegreat]

bornTwice! I think there are very few people who are programmers in this forum...

LIFO = Last In First Out

 

[qlyus]

in hw, they usually call it filo, first in last out, or a stack.

 

[lee_haircut5]

To Lazerthegreat,
So you used the address on the upper right of the yellow paper? That PO Box? Did you send it registered with tracking and return receipt?

Did someone actually receive it there?

Btw, my update date as well as my bro's update date changed after we received the yellow paper.

The letter was dated March 07 for both of us. We received the letter on Friday March 11. My update date changed to March 10 2005. My bro's update date changed to March 11, 2005. Previously, our update date was sometime in 2002.

What does all this mean?....

 

[wantmygcnow]

Didnt u get fingerprinted?..after 2002?..ur date should have been changed then.

 

[Lazerthegreat]

I sent it to the P.O. Box address at the top right corner of RFI through Express Mail with Return Receipt. So when CIS would receive it, they would sign the return receipt and post office would send it back to me.

Express Mail is very secure but I asked for Return Receipt just for my peace of mind.

 

[kaoticfury]

kaoticfury, Have you received any RFI or RFE?...

yeah, just got it....update my signature...heh

so we should mail it back to the address on the upper coner of the letter huh.

 

[Lazerthegreat]

yeah! On the address on the top right hand corner.

My online usps.com status showed today (03/15/05) that they have received RFI (also the actual name of the person = G CHRISTENSAN) who received it. I have also requested Return receipt.

Where to send?

I'm going to the post office to send my reply to the RFI. I'll send them to PO Box 87485 instead of 82521. This is what they show on their website about 82521:

General Correspondence (Inquiries) (Sending applications or petitions to this address will only delay their processing)

I did the medical exam and am wondering where to send the papers.

When I try to check my case status online, it has the same info from 5 years ago.

Is that a problem my that status has never been updated?

Application Type: I485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status

Current Status:

Your I485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status was received on August 24, 2000. We mailed you a receipt with information about processing. It is taking between 570 and 600 days for us to process this kind of case. We will mail you a decision as soon as processing is complete.

 

[asylumguy]
