Request for initial evidence
Hello,
I received this morning an RFE. I need to send an approval letter, a consulate letter or National benefit center letter or any documentation showing that I am eligible to apply for I-485. From my understanding they need to have a copy of my I-130 Notice of approval or I-797. Am I correct? or Is there anything else that I need to send?
Any help or guidance will greatly be appreciated
Thank you
The journey finally ended and finally got approved.
Happy to see it is finally over don't have to wait and be worried my case be denied and now I'm approved I would like to see my mom for almost 2 years haven't seen her.

Marriage case approved after 29 months at Baltimore FO
Hi everybody,
I just wanted to share my timeline and maybe encourage somebody who is still waiting for their decision.
I came to the US on a J1 visa with Two years home residency requirement. While living in the US, I met my now husband. Later on, I applied for a waiver of two years home residency requirement and got married to my US spouse.
My field office was Baltimore. Our AOS interview was very simple and lasted only 15 minutes. However, our case was held for review and it took them 18 months to give us a decision. I filled out the whole application package with a lawyer and I had a lawyer present during the interview as well. The waiting for a decision was very frustrating but it had one big advantage I got unconditional 10 years green card since our marriage got over 2 years during the waiting time.
Here is my timeline:
Case received (I-485, I-130, I-765, I-131) on November 16, 2020
I-765/I-131 was approved on August 13, 2021
I-485 interview (case held for review) on September 16, 2021
Case inquiry on January 19, 2022
Case inquiry on June 16, 2022
Case inquiry on March 2, 2023
I-765/I-131 (2nd application) received on March 6, 2023
I-765 was approved on March 9, 2023
I-485 was approved (card being produced) on March 29, 2023
I-130 was approved on April 3, 2023
Card in hands on April 7, 2023
Thank you and wishing everyone good luck with their process!
rfe for I-130
I sent my rfe in October 2022 and USCIS lost my documents and said I did not sent any. and they sent me a denial for I-130 but through my lawyers they were contacted but they have not sent us none to update or change the decision. I don't know how long a situation like this takes. please let me know someone with a similar situation.
Expedite Request Documentation I485
Is in state tuition and eligibility for federal students loans good enough reason to apply for an I485 expedite? If asked, what documents can one provide to establish severe financial loss?
Are these reasons sufficient?
1- Difference of tuition in-state and out of state
2- Difference of total loan amount with federal aid and with private lenders
In all the total difference in tuition over 2 years is 50,000 USD.
Please guide. Thanks. #I485 #eb2 #niw #expedite #severefinancialloss
