The FY2014 RFE Thread

[RMS_V13]

You are right. I just assumed it was ac21. That's why I asked in the end.

The HR or company attorneys did not request any addnl info from me except medicals.

I checked with another co worker who is on h1 b. He said that the company taxid is still the same and will remain so until2015. So he said he had not had to fill in any SPL.paperwork either. May be that's why the HR or atgor ey did not ask for any info except I 693.

You have mentioned about the change of letter head in the new name and simultaneously maintaining their old tax-ID, just make sure they are maintaining the old letter head too.

I suggest you to document your doubts with the HR/Law firm. Its worth it.

I am wondering the same thing. My PD is 08/04/2008. i got an RFE back in April for EVL and Marriage bonafides, but no medical rfe yet.

I finally got a status update email today regarding RFE for both me and my wife's application.

I replied to first RFE in Arpil. Did address change on Monday (for which i got status update that it has been changed yesterday) and today got RFE status update emails.

I just hope that this is medical rfe and not something complicated.

I ahve not received the RFE as yet amd its making me very nervous!!!!

Couple of updates:

- 3 confirmed RFEs in Feb 2009 on trackitt. Also confirmed RFEs in Nov/Dec 2008. In my view, this is conclusive.
- I just called and spoke to an L2. I was first told that my case was under review and is currently assigned. That's it. I however kept probing her. I asked if my case was preadjudicated and if I would simply receive the GC when the date is current for me. She said that as of now, no notes had been made on my case and that everything was good and if there are no further notes the day it is current, then yes, I will get a GC. This means my case seems preadjudicated (my own conclusion).

I am wondering if all of us are going to get medical RFEs at some point. If the date is scheduled to move in July, then we better start getting that RFE now.

... and there was a time when receiving RFE on a 485 application was considered inauspicious !!!

Don't worry too much LA guy, you may get GC directly... always remember the immortal truth : USCIS works in weird ways !

I received the email from USCIS for myself and my wife regarding request for evidence. My priority date is July 21, 2008. I called USCIS and they told me that I need to wait for the letter to find out about the requested evidence. On the phone, automated system said something about I-797. I hope this evidence review and processing will not end up taking more than 3 months for us. Anyone from 2008 already received RFE, any idea on what most of the folks are getting for RFE.

Thanks

sportsfan33 or anybody else

If they follow the rule to the T, then yes - everyone with an expired 693 will get a RFE. But with the USCIS - who knows... some folks might just breeze straight through.

I got a text from USCIS about an RFE for me and my dependents. My PD is December 5 2008. I don't have the actual details for the RFE yet. But I am thinking its for the expired medicals. Do I need to get my medicals again from the same practitioner as before?

Hello All,

I just received a text from USCIS about an RFE for me and my wife. My PD is Oct 9 2008. I filed my 485 when i was in CA and in 2012 Jan I got my EAD. Recently moved to texas for a good oppurtunity and didn't file for AC21. So my question is will they send the RFE to my current address or california address (AR11 filed a week back and it is approved). Little bit nervous as what would be the RFE for

The RFE must be for I-693 and maybe EVL - is your case NSC/TSC, seems like NSC has started trickling in. I hope their approval rate is as fast as last year.
Great to see RFE for Oct/Nov/Dec! Good times are finally ahead after a long and dreadful wait.
I hope it moves to Nov 2008 in July!

Hey Anasha1721 - is your application with NSC/TSC?

I doubt everyone will get an RFE, don't have to look too far back for evidence. Sports had pointed out how after a certain date in Jan/March 2008 nobody got an RFE. One things that's different this year are the Medicals but I still think quite a few will be approved minus the paperwork.

... and there was a time when receiving RFE on a 485 application was considered inauspicious !!!

Everyone wants an RFE

Hello Everyone,

I was away for couple of days and just happened to check back. Amazing news!!!!
Hopefully we have many many smiling faces by the end of the FY. Just saw in trackitt that there is RFE sent out to someone with PD Mar 2009.

[triplet]

It is raining RFE! The trackitt RFE thread is ticking every minute and there're more and more post Sep 2008 dates. I like it!

Anish, as Zenmaster mentioned above this RFE is auspicious. Those who have not gotten an RFE could get temp worries.

Are you aware of the following facts.

I-693 Medical Report submitted along with our I-485 has expired and recently USCIS has decided not to renew its validity automatically. Henceforth every I-485 applicant is required to submit valid medical report at the time GC finalization of our applications, i.e., at the time of FINAL ADJUDICATION of I485. If already submitted medicals are valid, no need to worry.

As per Fragomen Law Firm, the Head of Visa Department Charles Oppenheim has hinted that the EB2I dates may move to summer of 2009 at the end of this FY2014.

[la_2002_ch]

zenmaster yes i agree, its amazing how tables have turned and people are waiting for the RFE.

Anyways I got the awaited text/email late last night/early this morning. Now eagerly waiting to get the details in hand.

... and there was a time when receiving RFE on a 485 application was considered inauspicious !!!

Don't worry too much LA guy, you may get GC directly... always remember the immortal truth : USCIS works in weird ways !

My wife and I've completed our medicals and the report is with us right now. My attorney is drafting the EVL for my employer to sign.

Other than that I'm sending copies of my:

- i94 (physical card that i received when i entered using AP last year and CBP's online version),
- I797 approval notice of my last H1B
- two EAD cards.

For my wife its just the Medical report as her RFE didn't say anything.

Anything else, comments/suggestions?

Send either the physical I94 copy OR the online version. Don't send both - adds no value and may confuse the issue.
Also, about the 797s, if you are working on H1B, then use that otherwise, send the 797 for the EAD cards

[Anish05]

Thank you Kanmani. I was silent reader for this forum and aware of all news reg movement and Medical. 'I will update you what my RFE about it ?
Thanks for your help.

Hope you will be current this year it self. Please pray and I will pray for you as well..

Thanks,
Anish

Hi

My 485 status changed to RFE today. My PD is Feb 2009. It has become RFE for both me and my wife (dependent). We currently have EAD cards

Thanks

[obamamerabaap]

Can someone tell me if the actual RFE letter is coming to the applicant or is going to the lawyer? My company does not use a good law firm and it has resulted in massive delays last time.
