Reaon for the RFE? did u upload the RFE online?
David RodriguezJan 22, 2022
RFE was for i693 Medicals- sent it by mail
J
Jag SJan 22, 2022
I sent it RFE by mail but not response either online
David RodriguezJan 22, 2022
did you send to field office or service center ?
J
Jag SJan 22, 2022
FO, New Orleans Field Office
David RodriguezJan 22, 2022
FO don’t update status on RFE- it happened to both me and my wife - your case will go direct to approval - without RFE receipt
J
Jag SJan 22, 2022
thanks for the info. I was worried about the RFE for the confirmation. how long would the take to respond to RFE? it’s all most 6weeks after I submitted rfe
David RodriguezJan 22, 2022
ours took 4weeks for one - 10 weeks for the other
J
Jag SJan 22, 2022
thank you David. we have similar case.
David RodriguezJan 22, 2022

J
Jag SJan 22, 2022
Thank you. Yes I will do. Meanwhile I’m thinking to upload requested docs online today. Any suggestions
David RodriguezJan 22, 2022
it depends on what kind of RFE are - medicals cannot be uploaded online
J
Jag SJan 22, 2022

Jag SJan 22, 2022
@David: did you submitted your RFE online or by Mail? After I login to my account, I don’t see Documents tab to view or upload RFE docs
David RodriguezJan 22, 2022

J
Jag SJan 22, 2022

David RodriguezJan 22, 2022

I have received my medical one week ago but they didn’t update on my case to RFE SEND. I will send it next Friday. FO Boston sent it to me. they don’t update that?
David RodriguezJan 23, 2022

K
Keterson SantosJan 23, 2022
i will send it to BOSTON FIELD OFFICE FRIDAY. my case was in NBC. Do u know how long time to process it after received? and they didn’t updated change to fo. normal?
David RodriguezJan 23, 2022
give 1 month after they receive mail to get approval
K
Keterson SantosJan 24, 2022
oh, ok. they didn’t updated on my case was sent to me the RFE. it’s normal? show me fingerprint was taken yet.
David RodriguezJan 24, 2022
yes …. normal if it comes from Field office- they won’t update when received neither
J
Jag SJan 24, 2022
David, you are right. my status has Been change to “New Card is Bening Produced” after 6 weeks of my RFE submitted
David RodriguezJan 24, 2022
yes - I being swing that in a lot of forums - Field office don’t update about RFE -
K
Keterson SantosJan 24, 2022

David RodriguezJan 24, 2022

J
Jag SJan 24, 2022
you are right.
K
Keterson SantosJan 24, 2022
never? when they send to the person and when receive it? because I received and it’s show me fingerprint was taken. since February 2021
J
Jag SJan 24, 2022
thank you David.
David RodriguezJan 24, 2022
@storm they don’t update that on system - sometimes they do when they sent it to you but in most cases they don’t update for neither
David RodriguezJan 24, 2022
@jag they they approved all family members ?
K
Keterson SantosJan 24, 2022
huuum. understood. yeah, I will send my medical Friday. so, expect 1 month for that? or most case take too long?
David RodriguezJan 24, 2022
@storm yes - and as an advice send RFE by FedEx - USPS is not reliable this days
David RodriguezJan 24, 2022
@storm and send all médicas together if a family
K
Keterson SantosJan 24, 2022
it’s just me. I will send my medical to my attorneys and they will send to FO.
J
Jag SJan 24, 2022
Yes David. Approved for all familiar members I-485
David RodriguezJan 24, 2022
perfect
K
Keterson SantosJan 24, 2022
David, which one was your FO?
David RodriguezJan 24, 2022
Raleigh NC - even though I live in Florida
K
Keterson SantosJan 24, 2022
do u know something about Boston Field Office?
J
Jag SJan 24, 2022
David, “New Card is Being Produced” for I-485, meaning “case was approved” correct? no EAD correct. I will get the GC
David RodriguezJan 24, 2022
@jag yes you will get maybe 3 more updates case approved card pickup by post office card was delivered case approved comes 1-2 days after new card BP
J
Jag SJan 24, 2022
thank you David.
David RodriguezJan 25, 2022
about EAD you should received it now that GC approved - but if you do just disregard
J
Jag SJan 25, 2022
Got it. Thank you
R
Ras ABJan 26, 2022
congrats David… u gave very helpful responses to peoples questions. in your case there was no interview right? I just got approved for NIW I-140 and preparing to file I-485 with my spouse.
David RodriguezJan 26, 2022
@Ras - no interview and as I’ve been seeing - in last year and this no interviews for Employment GC…. I recommend you file medicals along i485 to avoid that RFE - it will save you 1month time
R
Ras ABJan 26, 2022
okay will surely do that. Do you think this step needs an Attorney? i have gone through the form and it seems self explanatory… my confusion is because i am filing with my spouse if certain specific documents may be required. we are married with two US born kids.
David RodriguezJan 26, 2022
we had 3 us citizen kids also - I prefer to use attorney
R
Ras ABJan 26, 2022
Okay thank you.
David RodriguezJan 26, 2022
yes because you have to prof the marriage on the documents to avoid the interview ….
R
Ras ABJan 26, 2022
yea that makes alot of sense…
K
Keterson SantosJan 28, 2022
@David, u said FO don’t update when receive the medical. i sent my medical yesterday. So, how I will know they have received it?! u know?
David RodriguezJan 28, 2022
@Storm- you won’t know at all - Status will change directly to New Card B Produced
K
Keterson SantosJan 28, 2022
I got it. thx

Gab EB2-NIWFeb 2, 2022
hey David, congrats! I had my i140 approved Aug 5, 2021. In Sep, I filled my EAD renewal bc it would expire in Dec 2021 (now I am in the 180 days). All my process (i140, 485, etc) was filled together in Jan 2019. Now, I am really worried to lose my permanent position (been working there since I got my first EAD: for 2 years and 6 months). Neither receive my new EAD nor a RFE for medical (i485). It’s suck.
David RodriguezFeb 2, 2022
hi Gab hope EAD or GC arrives soon - based on the months you’re 3 months after me
G
Gab EB2-NIWFeb 2, 2022
yes, bud. thanks for your wishes.
G
Gab EB2-NIWFeb 2, 2022
was your process in Texas? have you received ur GC yet?
David RodriguezFeb 2, 2022
I was on NBC - yes I received it
G
Gab EB2-NIWFeb 2, 2022
hope I have something like yours. thanks for sharing it and, again, congrats!
G
Gab EB2-NIWFeb 18, 2022
@David Hey bud, I had great news this week. Tuesday my i765 was approved and USCIS mailed it today. Also, on the same day, they transferred my i485 to NBC. Thank God. Could you help me? Was your case moved to NBC? if yes, when did it happen? I am asking it bc I’ve read here and other communities that NBC is faster (I could see it happens with your timeline too) and I would like to simulate how long it would take to receive RFE for medicals.
David RodriguezFeb 18, 2022
hi congrats !!!! yes my case was moved back from FO to NBC but they did not notified me - but it should be 1-2 weeks I believe
G
Gab EB2-NIWFeb 18, 2022
oh great. thanks man. hope they send me the rfe in 2 weeks like yours.
G
Gab EB2-NIWMar 18, 2022
@David Hey man, just had an update: I-485 status is now “Request for additional evidence”. The only thing I was thinking is about my wife status “Request for initial evidence”. What is the difference between additional and initial? Tomorrow I will ask Emma to certify they are RFE for medicals. Anyway, thank God. Exactly 30 days after transferred to NBC.
David RodriguezMar 18, 2022
most likely will be Medicals @GAB Emma won’t be able to tell
G
Gab EB2-NIWMar 18, 2022
thanks man. I will wait it. Did your wife status was initial or additional? or both status were the same?
David RodriguezMar 18, 2022
additional
G
Gab EB2-NIWMar 18, 2022
thanks man
