Hi guys,
As per my post above, my fears have come true. The visa numbers have exhausted and my wife's I-485 case status is "RFE response review" since March 19. Now, do you think we will have to wit till September 2012 for the approval or this talk is just about Q2 visas being exhausted and we have some hope starting next week??
billu, I hope the situation isn't that bad. Being stuck in RFE response review is at least better than case not being touched at all. I hope you get through next month. If you don't get any replies on this thread, please repost in the main Post I-485 filing thread.
thanks for your response.Yes, it is better than being in initial review but it is very frustrating too because each day, we expect approval as most cases take less than 2 weeks after RFE response review. Specially frustrating as RFE was for an inane reason- for already submitted BCs!!Quote:

Congratulations on this forum!
I found a few hints and I see that the range of possibilities is endless...
Although a little worried since I thought I did a very precise job in assembling the packege, I got relieved reading some of these forums' answers.
In my opinion it might be the fact that I am filing for different things and tehre was a single set of BC, ETC.
I guess my Legal Assistant didn't catch that part...We'll see
Thanks to everybody in the meantime.

Hello everyone,
I received, finally, after more than a week camping at the mailbox, my RFE in the mail.
It is about the I-864 AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT filed by my wife. Apparently, by what we have provided they calculated that she doesn't meet the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Fact is we haven't detailed the case enough and they just looked at the enclosed paystubs without considering her yearly settlement check and her private practice detailed income.
One suggestion I can make. Be as detailed as you can. Do not assume anything. They like to see things in front of them, not trying to make conclusions by imagining what you meant by that... For example in our case we concentrated more on explaining and documenting 2011 income that we did on 2012 assuming they would obviously consider all the documnts and explanations as part of the documentation for 2012 since it will stay the same. Wrong! Do not. Actually I heard that the previous year or three year taxes report can be low or negative and they won't care much. They will mostly focus on current year income, so take the necessary time to satisfy the requirements of I-864P, 2012 HHS Poverty Guidelines for Affidavit of Support available at http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf for your specific household size.
We are now reviewing our paperwork and we will send that out ASAP and hopefully this will put us back in business soon!
To all of you receiving RFE Please remember to enclose the original yellow letter when you send all the requested evidence. Obviously you should make a copy for your records.
Thanks for everybody's support!

Getting my fingerprints next THU...
I got an RFC for my daughter's medical report. The pediatric doctor didn't check some of the boxes..I went and sent the amended form ..
Does it mean that they picked up all three of our cases ( me, wife and daughter) and rest all documents fine except this?
Me and wife status still shows ' Case can't be found' ..
My PD is April 2008 (Feb first week filer) and I haven't got any RFE yet.
If, according to USCIS, some part of my application is incomplete, when should I expect them to send me RFE? Is it possible that they don't act at all during this idle period and decide to act when my PD is current again, thus wasting few more months in the process and causing us more pain. There is probably no way to know whether my application is completely pre-adjudicated and there are NO RFEs.

They will be working on the filed cases whether the date is current or not. There will be lot of cases which are already processed but they can't get greened due to lack of availablity of visa numbers.

You can get more info by taking InfoPass or call their customer care if your date is current and is outside the processing timeframe. Talk to higher level supervisor.

Thanks!
Is RFE letter to Attorney only? Why not to the applicants?. What will happen to the applicants who change jobs on AC21 and may or may not have a new attorney?

"We have received your service request and researched the status of your case. Our records indicate that your response to our Request for Evidence (RFE) was received on October 04, 2012. Your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status, is currently pending. There are currently no visas available to process your Form I-485. A search of USCIS records indicates your Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, was approved as 2nd preference. Your priority date is later than the cut-off listed on the visa bulletin for your preference. The February visa bulletin has a cut-off date of 09/01/2004 for 2nd preference - India. Visa numbers are only available for applicants whose priority date is earlier than the cut-off date. Records indicate your priority date is 11/14/2007. As such, your Form I-485 application will not be processed until a visa becomes available......
Does this mean its Pre-adjudicated, is there any use calling them and talking to L2 officer if its pre-adjudicated?
Similar case as mine. I have RFE on 485 Pending. I called them few months ago and also took infopass appointment.Quote:

u can try too.
waiting for L2 officer to call me for last 1 hr, hopefully call can come any minute, I a planning to ask them if its pre-adjudicated
Indiani, call from L2 office might take more than few days. They called me after 3-4 days of me leaving a voicemail. so I would say take it easy and let things fall in place...Quote:

Hello Guys, Need your opinion/advice on below mentioned questions regarding EAD
1. Can I work on 1099 on my EAD while continue working for my sponsor company on W2? I mean doing multiple jobs on EAD, on W2 for sponsored company and on 1099 for other companies?
2. Can I continue working on H1B and still work on 1099 based on EAD for any other company?
3. If I want to keep working on H1B, do I need to keep renewing my EAD since my wife will be working on her EAD?
Appreciate your response on this
How long it take to response to rfe ? expert pls me know
