Urgent: Rfe On I-485

[javapoet55]

Hi All,

May 16th, I got a RFE on my I-485. USCIS sent this request directly to my lawyer. I called my lawyer couple of times and left a voice message and they did not respond due to filing new applications.

I called USCIS yesterday to send that RFE to my home address so that I know what is that for. USCIS officer told me that he can fax a copy of that RFE to me but he cannot send another copy to my adddress but he said that he can send another copy of the same to my lawyer once again.

I received the fax and the RFE is for submitting my latest EAD approval and my latest I-94 copies. I really wonder why USCIS is asking this since they have records to verify the same. This RFE is signed by one of USCIS Directors.

My question is: CAN I SEND THE RFE RESPONSE DIRECTLY TO THE USCIS? WILL THEY ACCEPT THAT?

SINCE MY LAWER IS BUSY IN OTHER ACTIVITIES I DON'T WANT TO WAIT FOR HIM TO ANSWER AND IT MIGHT DELAY MY ADJUDICATION.

Please share your experience and knowledge about handling this.

Your comments are highly appreciated.

You may want to consult other attorneys; I beleive it should be a simple query... not to get panic.

Usually while replying RFE you have to submitt the orignal RFE along with evidence you are sending. So grab your attorney's collar and have him reply ASAP.

No. You can't. It has to go through your lawyer because he has the original and it has barcode which has all information about your case and USCIS needs to have it. The case is the same with me and I have to send all documents to my lawyer as he has the original and USCIS should have the original back along with other RFE documents.
