    Idliman, we use the same firm but have no idea about their billing rates and the amount you mentioned is mind boggling... No wonder why the firms would like us to remain in H1B as long as possible.

    Hi userkp,

    I see that you responded your RFE within a week. Is that medical RFE and if yes, did you use your company attorney firm or did it all by yourself. I got my med RFE but I am worried that if I go thtough my company atyorney, that will unnecessarily delay the response as they take their own sweet time.

    Hi delguy, yes, the RFE was for medicals for me and my spouse. I did get in touch with my company's lawyers to check if I needed to send it to them or respond myself and they said that it's up to me. Since it was only medicals which is anyways in a sealed envelope, I sent the sealed medicals & a copy of my RFE to the address mentioned in the RFE myself. If the RFE were for additional materials, then I guess a lawyer review is beneficial.

    If it's only medicals, I would say send it back yourself and save time. Did you get your RFE from NBC or your local FO ?

    Thanks for the quick response. I got it from local FO where the case was transfered from MSC recently. So I assume you put both yours and spouse medicals in one envelope though 1 RFR for each is generated. Is their any cover letter needed too?

    Hi All,

    My PD is Jul6th 2010 in EB2, I got Medical RFE and Interview Notice on June 27th. I heard lot of people are getting interview waiver and green card approved after Medicals RFE. Is USCIS issuing interview notices recently or is it random....like my case. My spouse last name and mine are different and I work for a consulting company.

    Also, do we need to take Original Brith certificate for interview?

    Thanks!!!

    I actually sent it out in separate envelopes as the RFE letters came from the FO separately. But someone had mentioned that if you were going to send them in the same envelope, then keep 2 smaller envelopes (one for each of you) inside the Fedex envelope and send it out. I did not put any cover letter, just the copy of the RFE and sealed medicals envelope.

    I think the person, has program to check the status of FY21 receipt numbers for LIN,MSC and SRC and parse the response to bucket them into different case types and statuses.

    Yes, the approval of I-485 has increased in July.. but not sure how may of them are EB.

    USCIS tend to approve more(disproportionate) FB than EB in any given month .

    Does anyone have idea how many FB petitions are are @ LIN. My idea is LIN is handling bulk load of 2020 EB filers and some asylum based cases which are not many.
    NSC, EB2-I->EB3-I, PD:2/12, RD:11/4/20, ND:2/13/21, I-140(EB3):6/3/21, FP:7/16/21, I-693 (interfile): 7/22/21(delivered/no-ack), RFE(I-693):8/7/21, RFE-R: 8/10/21, EAD/AP: None, I-485 (Approved): 10/27/2021

    I don't think LIN handles FB. If you check case processing times for I485s on USCIS website, it only shows U visas / asylum and EB I think.

    BTW what is yr PD and service center ? USCIS started picking up the speed in 3rd quarter and I saw approvals from different service centers. 2011 people are started getting GC, IMO we all will get this year or early next year if date does not retrogress.
    Any calculations or ideas if we know 2009 EB2 is cleared or applications submitted in 2012 for PD's that were current till Apr 2010 are they cleared?
    And if not all what percentage or number would still be in waiting?

    Lurking for a long time but registered today to ask a question. My PD is 04/12/2011 in EB2 and I had originally filed my I485 in Oct 2020 (RD Oct 26 & ND Nov 14). Completed my biometrics on Jan 05 2021 but my filing was rejected after that saying insufficient funds in payment source (it appears they had never cashed our checks till then). My PD again became current in FAD category in the July VB and I filed a separate application for which I have received a receipt (RD July 12 2021) and also a notice indicating that they will reuse biometrics. My question has to do with my original rejected filing from Oct 2020. USCIS has recently released guidance stating that filings rejected like this can be resubmitted and they will consider them as having been received on the date they were originally received at the lockbox (Oct 26 2020 in my case) (Lockbox Delays section here https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/uscis...SCIS%20lockbox.) . So would it be worth it to resubmit my original application too with the hope of it getting processed quicker ? (Mainly because I would have to pay the fees for this submission myself since my company wont pay for applying again). Are these applications processed strictly by RD ?

    If your application was filed at least a year back and your FAD date is current, I'd say whatever USCIS says cut that time in half and that should be a realistic time period.
    Thanks Q. Makes sense. As requested by Andhraguy few more details: My application was filed earlier this month (PD 04/21/2011, EB2) and the packet went to Phoenix lockbox not sure which service center it will land at (mostly Nebraska?). I was outside US for a while and justed came back to US, hence the delay. My attorney recommended to send all required docs and told me that we can avoid RFE. So, hoping for the best but I know Oct filer are still waiting. Lets see how things play out.

    No, TSC has not cleared 2012 filers. I am still waiting for an RFE since becoming current in November. Per reliable sources, there are hundreds of 2012 filers waiting on an RFE.

    True that, even few of my friends with 2010 PD have also not received an RFE for medicals. It's truly unexplainable wastage that people who filed in 2012 are not cleared yet after a windfall FY 2021.

    @Aceman, do you know if the bipartisan infrastructure bill that was passed in Senate few minutes ago, does it have any provisions relating to legal immigration/visa usage?

    ak7419, I'm a little dissapointed to see you still waiting. On any scale, 2012 filers are beyond processing time. Keep pushing via all channels. And hope for a miracle.

    No my friend, I did not follow any of that as I am only focused on my process.
    I have opened up a service request for RFE response and no action for 60 days. Now I need to wait another 15-30 days to see if they respond to my service request before I look at idlimans immigration manual for the next steps.

On the other hand if you are going to the previous job specified in I-485 after GC, then you don't need another I-485J. If USCIS AO, does his/her job correctly they will send you another RFE for I-485 Supp J (if they check your current employment).

    I am going to repeat my usual line: A GC is given on the basis of a future job. It is a contract between you and the employer. You agree to work in that job after GC. The employer agrees to give you a genuine FT offer of employment. If you don't work for the company stated in I-485 contract, you are breaking the terms of GC. That's why employer A can file for GC when you are working for employer B (as some here are doing). But by law one has to work for the company specified in GC application after getting GC. USCIS does not have the manpower to enforce this.

    You should work with the attorney of the new company and reply to I-693 RFE at the same time file I-485 Supp J (job portability or option b in the form). This will reduce processing time and lead to a faster GC. But make sure that you meet the deadline for I-693 in any case. If you miss the RFE deadline then I-485 will be automatically denied.
    Idliman,
    Thanks for providing useful inputs on this.
    I have a deadline of Oct-21-2021 to respond to Medical RFE. I am planning to file I-485J through the new employer's attorney around Aug-15th. As suggested by you, I would work with the attorney to include I-693 RFE response along with the I-485 Supp J filing.
    If both of these documents are filed simultaneously, will I still be getting I-485 Supp J related RFE? Assuming SOC code and job duties are more or less the same?

    An I-485 Supp J can be used for
    1a. Confirmation of Bona Fide Job Offer or
    1b. Request for Job Portability Under INA Section 204(j).
    When you are sending the I-485 Supp J with option 1b, you are invoking AC21 job portability after your I-485 has been waiting for 180+ days. So as long as "same or similar classifcation" is met (which is liberally interpreted by USCIS), you will get your GC. It is better to send it along with an RFE response as USCIS has a way of filing and tracking it in theor system. You just need one job offer for a GC. So you will not be getting another I-485 Supp J RFE.

    Question for grp - My new colleague is getting ready to file for both I-140 in prem and I-485 and asked me for an advice. Based on my own experience I feel getting I-140 approved first and then filing for 485 might be beneficial as his case can be directly sent for Bio-metric. What you guys have seen?
