I-485 Case Reopened after denial and EAD/AP travel query
My I-485 case got denied due to USCIS error where they claimed they requested a RFE which we never got on our end. The letter from USCIS mentioned that I-485 is denied and the EAD/AP will be invalid if the motion to re-appeal the case and supporting docs aren't sent within 18 days. We filed the motion to reopen the case quickly got the I-485 back to pending state in 2 months. The EAD and AP card is still valid and is with us.. We got the Motion to appeal case approval letter and the RFE for medicals along with it for the 485. We now have sent the medical RFE and I-485 is in reopened state. Am i still eligible to travel on my EAD/AP in this case ? Will they get reinstated automatically if the 485 is back to case reopened state. Please advice.
Just in case you want to try!
This was my strategy in case you want to do something to move forward, it worked for me. I did this after calling USCIS to find out how my case was going. I used the request tools, the one referring to exceeded processing time, but in reality my case was being processed within the time. What I did was, in the bar to specify the last action on the case, I put that the last action was that they received the medical docs 7 months ago, and then in the same space I explained my desperation and my situation. Two days later they responded by email that they have an excessive workload, and the next day I received approval. I said I had depression and that I couldn't take it anymore, and it's true. It was difficult to wait so long. I lost my dad, grandmother and uncle during this process. Thank God everything went well and they didn't interview me, now I'm just waiting for the GC, which from what I read there is a bit of a delay due to the volume of card production. Another thing, they approved me at NBC direct without transferring me to my local office, I know this because the same day before doing the erequest I called to find out if there was any update and they said that there were no changes in my case, and I asked if there was a possibility of being approved without being sent to my local office, and they answered me: YES, in some cases they do, mostly when an interview is not required as was my case, which means that even if they haven't transferred you it doesn't mean they can't approve you at any time. Just have faith and don't get tired of calling and making requests.

How long did you have to wait for a decision on your EB-1A case after your response to the RFE?
Dear Lawfully Community,
I would be interested in your experience regarding the waiting time for a decision after your response to an RFE on your EB-1A case.
How long did you have to wait for a decision after your RFE response?
