Medical Exam effect EAD processing times?
Hello oh great wise forum,
I have a PD of July 13, waiting 111 days but who's counting...
On September 14th I received an RFE associated with my I-485 - the medical exam by a civil surgeon (Adjusting Status to Permanent Resident). I was told by my lawyers that this is a separate process from the EAD card and has NO effect on the processing time.
The RFE itself also says that this is part of the I-485 process and does not mention the processing time for the I-765.
I have submitted an expedite request recently and called USCIS to check if it was received. During the call, I was asked if I had received any RFE or Notice of Denial. I told her that I got an RFE for the I-485 process, and she said until I submitted my RFE (aka the medical exam) my processing for the EAD is also halted!!! As in - every day between Sept. 14 till Oct 14 when I got them the exam - DOESN'T COUNT!
My lawyers say it isn't true. The RFE form seems to say different. But the agent I talked to was pretty certain.
What do you think? Is the RFE for Medical Exam something that freezes up the EAD process?
