RFE reasons?
Hi Everyone,

I have had the most weird and frustrating experience here. I expedited my I 765 case and submitted evidence for that but my I 485 said they had received "evidence to expedite my case". Now just after two days of receiving it, my update on I 485 said they finished with my "finger print review" was done and now I got an RFE. Funny thing is, I had received a similar update at the end of July saying my finger print review was done for both I 485 and I 765. :D I have noooooo clue what's going on. I called the USCIS but the tier 1officer had no idea what was going on either and kept on reading what RFE was. Lol. At this point, all I can do is prepare for my RFE. While I wait for my notice, can anyone tell me what reasons they have gotten RFEs for I 485, if you have?

Thanks a ton!

Hi All

PD: 08/26/2019 (Married to LPR)

I just noticed in my I-485 receipt notice that my Preference Classification is "IMMEDIATE RELATIVE OF U.S CITIZEN". However, I am married to Legal Permanent Resident!!

Is this normal?? Please respond.

We have taken action on your case
I received this morning an email with "We have taken action on your case (line break) Sign in to your account to view your case status"

I logged in and surprisingly noticed that the interview for I-485 has been scheduled and they will mail me instructions to follow. I suppose "something" is moving and that certainly gives hope.

We prayed last night with my wife and asked for a sign and it showed up. Keep faith up guys, your case will be moving at the right time.

Though I have heard zip from my EAD, I believe I am one of those cases where GC and EAD are approved simultaneously, or even GC lands before any EAD in which case it supersedes. Only God knows.

Here's my timeline; these updates only correspond to my i-485 case (I.e. no updates on I-765)
