Had you submitted your medicals with your AOS application? Do you think the RFE is for medicals?

Now I am wondering on what to make out with this RFE. My dates is in EB3 6 months away, I had submitted the medicals, I gave the Supp J, birth certificate, did the Biometric, what more they need from me? Both me and my spouse got the RFE, nothing for my son

Aceman,

My colleague also got RFE for medicals today along with I-485J receipt. He submitted his application in Oct 2020. PD: EB2I May 2011/ MSC**********. Not sure why he got RFE for medicals this early.

THanks bikenlalan

Quick question folks. When we get the medical RFE is the online case status updated first? or we just get them all of a sudden through USPS? I want to be aware of what to expect.

I have heard that sometimes online case status is not updated nor are the text alerts sent out when an RFE is issued. So, you cannot rely on these updates.

Got my EAD/AP card shipped out today.

Congrats Dragonfly! You had mentioned that you raised an expedite request.. Did USCIS ask for any documents to process expedite request? If so, what was asked and what did you submit?

No, strangely they did not ask me for any documents. I guess they may have seen on my profile that my H1 is ending and renewal is pending - actually got an RFE on that today which is weird because I have been working at the same place for 13 damn years! :)

My Case got updated! Got RFE for medicals, 485j for myself and medicals for my wife and daughter. TSC PD 03/18/2010 RD 03/05/2012

I got soft copy from congressional office and forwarded that to attorney. Congressional office wanted copy of my response so that they can work with officer directly.

AceMan you mentioned your case got updated and you had an RFE. Can you shed some light on what the RFE was about?

@Vedu: What is your I-485 "received date". I am curious if TSC is going with the order of the received dates for all those that are current.

Sure, will update as soon as I get the copy. I posted yesterday, hot of the case status website as soon as I saw it.

I had submitted Medicals, 485J, all the things I can think off.

If only affidavit was sent in place of BC, it could be birth certificate related as it happened in my case.

I don't want to be debbie downer but TSC is following no order to process cases - neither priority date nor receipt date.

You are right my PD is 2010/02/13 no update

Who is the congressman? That's pretty good service.
Mine is Feb 14, 2010 priority date, with a RD of March 9, 2012. No news so far. I raised an inquiry with my local congressman last week. So far no response from USCIS.

I have provided a copy of my original BC(without my name just parents name) and a notarized affidavit from my mom which indicates my name I made in 2010 when I was filing. My wife also had her original bc with name. She also got an RFE.

Marriage certificate also I provided the copy of original I got .

nothing to worry about; there will always be outliers depending on various factors but overall it's a good sign that March apps are being touched.

hopefully in two weeks things will be more streamlined. Two weeks ago there was no news of feb/march apps being touched.

PD: March 20th 2010
RD: 7th March, 2012.
Center: TSC
No RFE Yet

That's not true. I have seen cases with April filing date and March PD getting RFE back in December and January. There is no consistency.

I read somewhere in trackitt that TSC is bogged down by the downgrades and hence are not focussing on the original 2012 filings. It is also correct that there is no consistency in how they are processing. It almost seems like a stroke of luck.

Finally got my biometrics done in Austin TX ASC.
It was for Code 2 Biometrics

Do I expect another one from USCIS for I 485? or they are going to reuse it?
Please guide

Same thing happened for my derivative.

We applied in October, 2020.
Both of us had our biometrics done in December 2020 and our dates are current since March, 2021.

I got code 3 biometrics for both 765 and 485.

But my spouse got only code 2 for 765.

He has not yet received another code 3 biometrics notice for code 3.

But, I had read many posts of Trackitt, with many saying that they got another code 3 biometrics notice later.

Don't know when that will happen for us!

Hi Everyone,
A dumb question. Are the RFE response forms supposed to be signed in black ink or blue ink. Is a black ball point pen the one to use?

I think it may not matter. For my response I signed but then scanned it and sent it over to my attorney who sent the documents to USCIS. So effectively it became black (because of scan).

Hi Everyone,
One other question is the G325a for Deferred action the right one to fill for Employment based 485 candidates? Paralegal seems to have filled the form that G325a (Deferred Action). Isnt that for the Daca people?

The 325 that we need to file is for biographical information like where we live for the last few years etc. It has been asked recently for all RFE's

I understand but it says deferred action on the biographic info form. Is it the right one? or is there a separate one for non daca people?
