Case Processing
RW:RFE question
My mom is the principal applicant for our EB-4 case, and my brother and I are derivative applicants. Today, my mom’s I-485 status changed to “Request for Additional Evidence Was Sent,” but my brother’s and my I-485 cases did not change and we have not received an RFE.
Is it normal for only the principal applicant to receive an RFE while the derivative applicants do not?
Also, for those who have received an RFE before, about how long did it take for the physical RFE notice to arrive in the mail after the online case status changed?

My husband has refused to attend our USCIS interview, and we have already missed the interview twice. I also filed a VAWA case earlier this year, which is currently pending.
USCIS has now scheduled another interview for next month. However, this is not a VAWA interview; it is for the original marriage-based case that my husband and I filed jointly. This will be the third time USCIS has scheduled this interview.
Since my husband continues to refuse to attend the interview, and I now have a pending VAWA case, should I still attend the scheduled interview with my immigration lawyer, even though my husband will not be present?
And what wil happen if I attend

Approved (New Card Is Being Produced)
Hi,
My PD is Jan 26, 2022
Got my green card approved with no RFE or interview!
It took about 5.5 years in total, starting from the job ad and LC process.
It's been a long long journey…
Best of luck to all of you!!!!
