Thanks for the reply, I'm interested to find the trend and average time.Originally Posted by qesehmk
It's been about 8 months since I filed 485 and abt 4 months after GC.
Thre're different opinions even among lawyers as to what's the time limit, i'd go with 6 months.
Received RFE :
Hi I recently saw that status for my family and myself as requesting for additional evidence. I would like to know from folks who received RFE if status changed for all the applicants or only for the primary or dependents. This would help me in guessing the reason for the RFE.
Thanks.
wow! I just received RFE notifications for my wife and myself. It feels like things can't get any worse than this. It took them 10 months to figure out something is missing?

asankaran, I have seen it being updated for the case which needs evidence before IO can take a call on case(approval/pre-adj etc) .. in my case rfe came for me as they needed an EVL and no rfe for my dependents. Later, on an Infopass they mentioned all four of us are pre-adj the very next day rfe response was received by uscis.
In my co-workers case, he was primary and had no rfe but his wife got rfe for BC.. they both checked later by calling L2 IO and were told that there cases are pre-adj after rfe response was recd by USCIS.
In short, Online case status will change only for the one who gets RFE and not for all. Hope this helps and your case sails smoothly. I personally feel its good to get an rfe, atleast you know your file has been touched and is moving for good.
Good luck

Tackle, asankaran
Whenever both primary and dependent get an RFE, it turned out to be either medicals or BC related. I did a little survey over this after my status turned RFE. Don't worry , it will be a simple one . But the worst part is receiving the physical RFE document, it takes 10 days to reach you, but feels like restless 100 days.

Thanks Kanmani and longgcque . I think it could be mainly for medicals, especially everyone tested positive for tuberculin test and attached X-Ray report. I am not sure if they want anything more to be done. Anyways I will keep everyone posted so that folks here could pre-empt them.
I hope it is something simple as you suggested. I'll keep you guys posted on any updates. Thanks.

I-485 Approved (Primary & Dependent): 10/07/13
My 485 was filed in Jan 2012 and till now no progress on my case (I dount even if the dates were current, I would have received anything). The response I got from NSC in response to my opening up a SR in Jun was that the back ground check is still peniding and to call back 6 months after.
Anyways my question is now about Attorney representatin. I am planning to change my jobs in the next month or so (still discussing with new employer about EAD vs H1) and once I do that, what will happen to my attorney representation? My current attorney is the EMployer attornet. So once I change my jobs I assume the current one will stop cooperating and respresenting my case (as directed by my employer). So can I change the attorney in pending case? If not, what happens if USCIS sends some thing important related to my case to the current attorney and they dont notify me?

I received RFE details. It was medical for all three of us. They wanted the full vaccine name for TB. I also want to know do they send RFE for all the information together or one after the other.
la_2002_ch,
About changing lawyer, I am not sure.
You should register on UCSIS for case status notification, if you are not already enrolled. If any thing changes on your case like RFE or Appoval those statuses are usually updated within 24 hrs and you get email and/or text notifications.

asankaran,
My understanding is (ideally) it will be all in one shot and not one-by-one. That is practical in terms or time, cost and effort.

Your new lawyers should have the answer. In my opinion, it's a matter of filing that Representation form again (I forget the number).
I am planning to send response to RFE directly to USCIS. Should I bundle all the RFE responses together (all family memebers) and send in one package or send separate responses to USCIS ? Thanks.
asankaran,
Why are you doing by yourself? Didn't an attorney represent your I-485 case?
What I want to convey is, our attorney received the original RFE letter and we received only the courtesy copy of the RFE . The response along with the original RFE + a gold sheet should be attached . I haven't seen the gold sheet, but learnt that it contains the adjudicator's details for easing the rfe reply reach that particular adjudicator who is handling your file.
If my post is irrelevant pls ignore.
Kanmani,
I am represented by attorney. But I received the original RFE (dark yellow) color sheet with letter addressed individually. The response is nothing but sealed envelope from Civil surgeon along with the yellow sheet and the RFE letter. To push this paper the attorney is asking 200$ per person. I don't think this really worth to send this thru the attorney so I am sending it myself. I am planning to send individual RFE responses separately as we received RFEs separately, unless I hear a different voice from our group.
Just sharing an experience. I'm a Feb filer (PD-Jan09) and moved out of my apartment to a different one and filed AR11 online. While changing the address on pending service address change; I put a different address than the one given on AR11. On 8/31 I received a call from USCIS asking about the address mismatch, I gave them the right explanation and asked about my I485 is preadjudicated, he said "you are all set" waiting for the visa availability any time after Oct 2012". He did not say "you are pre adjudicated" I was thinking of invoking AC21 and I got the copy of ETA9089 form (labor certification) from DHS using FOIA request on 09/01. Now I'm in confusion on to stay back till I get the GC or move on. Please share you opinions.
Can I see a LUD/HUD on status look up ? So far there is no change.

I got my RFE notice over the weekend. It was a "submit BC" RFE just like several others have received. Haven't received my wife's notice yet. They missed the Apt# even on my notice (how can they do mistakes like this??). It somehow reached me correctly. So, I'm guessing my wife's RFE is lost and I'll never get it. My attorneys should have received RFE notices too. So, I'm hoping they got both the notices correctly. I sent a note to them this morning and am waiting on a response from them. Hopefully the lawyers would get back to me soon with the list of other documents I'll need to gather.

SR opened after 60 days POST RFE Response
Friends ,
I finished 60 days since RFE response received by USCIS per status online.
I called and opened SR stating I have not received any update per their verbiage.
My RFE was a medical doc missing and post 60 days I wanna make sure before I use to switch employment it is preadjudicated .
Has anyone opened SR and received something meaningful in the same scenario.
Thx
Has anyone travelled to Canada by road on EAD and back in .
What has been the experience like ? Are there any restrictions when you travel by road in and out . Any experiences people can share . Thx
EB2 - not sure if you meant AP. I hope you are already aware that EAD cant be used for travel.

Yes Q , I stand corrected , I meant travel to Canada using AP.
Guys,
Can someone lay out what the experience has been travelling on AP at the US airports.
What happens and what they ask . I heard sometimes the wait time gets really long for AP folks at airport.
I'm a dependent with EAD/AP , primary spouse already received GC.
