Question
I'm confused and can certainly benefit from this forum's expertise.

I received an RFE for paperwork that I've already submitted in the initial packet. (Birth Certificate, 2017 taxes, etc)
Do they scan and keep these documents in a central shared system ? I'm just confused as to why my process is now further delayed for items already provided.

I-130
Hi there,
I’m currently a 10 year green card holder. I gained it 4 years ago through a previous marriage to a US citizen. I recently remarried and am planning on filing I-130 petition for my husband. My question is should I be filing now or should I wait until i’ve been a permanent resident for 5 years which will be around this time next year. And would there be any repercussions if I filled now? I’ll be eligible to file for citizenship at the end of 2019.

Please advise.

I-485 package
I am married to GC holder and came to US on F1 visa. Then I applied I-130 and got approved.
my PD: 09/29/2016.
I need your advice as I took the decision to send my I-485 package. I am able to filing for AOS according to filling date but my final action date still not current. I still afraid to do that.

From the forums I had read, I found that people who applied according to their filing date still didn't received there EAD/AP cards ... mainly who applied in October and November 2017.

So, if any one have good experience in following the filing date and not the final action date or have and advise please share.
Thank you

questions related to H1b visa extension, greencard holder marry to h1b holder through i130 and i485
I am a greencard holder and my fiancé is working on a H1B visa which is expiring in December 2018. We recently realized that, as a greencard holder, i am not able to file his i130 and i485 concurrently (only US citizens have that option). I can file his i485 when the “date of filing” in monthly visa bulletin reaches our i130 filing date. I also realize that if he wants to stay in the country in the interim (between i130 and i485), he needs to maintain his own visa status till his i485 can be filed. My question is:
1) He is planning to apply for his H1b extention. What are his options to stay in the country if his extention is denied?
2) Are there other ways for me to keep him in the country while we are waiting to file his i485?

Green Card 10 months late
Hi guys,

I had my interview in October 2017. The interview went ok in Manhattan office, there were 2 girls as one was training the other one. We left the interview smiling being told the usual (we should receive decision in 60 days).

However, 10 months later we haven't received anything! I tried to request an update after 60 days but received in mail that they don't have a 'specific timeframe' to give me and to check my status online but online it's still an update from when I first applied saying 'The case is ready to be scheduled for an interview'.

Has anyone had this happen to them?

P.S. I also applied in March 2018 for extension of EAD and didn't even receive that.

Interview scheduled - don't have a birth certificate
Help help!!

I am from India, now in USA and filed for my GC (marriage) in June 2017. On June 22, 2018 I received the notice for interview which is scheduled for July 25, 2018. I DO NOT have my birth certificate (1978 born, never issued one) but I submitted court affidavits (secondary document) along with the rest of my documentation for AOS per reciprocity table for supporting documents.

I NEVER got anything from USCIS asking for any more documents but the notice of interview shows the general list of documents which probably everyone is expected to bring and it includes the Birth Certificate. Do I need to worry about it ?

Thanks
