Pink RIFE letter from USCIS

[killabee]

Just an update for everyone and to see if anyone else has had a similar experience?

I got a pink RIFE letter from USCIS today, which I was expecting as they had sent me a notice via email saying they were sending me a letter a few days ago. (Although I will note that I am signed up to 2 USCIS sites for my case, one of which did not update but the other one did. Their online systems are not the best to be honest. They are not always thorough or current but I check them both regularly.)

They want my proof that I've maintained lawful non-immigrant status since my last entry (which I have). This means that I must send them my most recent I-94 ..... which, after about 5 attempts of putting my details on the I-94 site - https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/ - I was finally able to retrieve after it told me multiple times that it couldn't find any record of me which was a little scary :-)..... and any I-797 notices I've received before applying for AOS.

I will also include the visa stamp (since they no longer issue paper I-94's anyway) and my most recent visa. They also want a couple photos and my I-693 medical exam (which I didn't originally submit). So time to go and do the medical exam.

Just FYI, I applied for AOS in February 2020. EB1-1A category. I already have my EAD and AP. NYC.

Anyone in NYC who has a good and decently priced civil surgeon to go to? I've called some places to check on prices but pls let me know.

I'm hoping this is the final step before AOS approval and that once I submit all of this info they will send me my GC. I don't believe I will be getting an interview. It doesn't sound like it - or I assume they would have asked me to bring the I-693 to my interview? I self petitioned and didn't need a job offer so I think that takes away the need for an interview?

Anyway, let me know any thoughts. Thanks to everyone for their info on this site. Hope you are all well and healthy.

BTW, thank goodness for this site! It's been a Godsend!

Yes, usually a "send us your I-693" means no interview. Lately, many EB cases are being approved without an interview, my guess is because they have much more information about the person than FB and is less likely to commit fraud.

That's good to know. Fingers crossed!

killabee what are the two USCIS sites you mention to get status updates?

Those would be:

1. egov.uscis.gov
2. my.uscis.gov

And those are completely different interfaces with their own distinct look and feel, logins, and often different information! Gotta love government inefficiency!

2. my.uscis.gov is waste of time. I have both accounts.

my.uscis.gov indicates they have received my I-131, I-485, I-765 but I already have my EAD/AP card.

egov.uscis updates for every little change posted to the case number.

Thanks so much for this! I would never have guessed that there are two sets of logins and portals! I only had account in my.uscis.gov. Now created in egov.uscis.gov as well.

yes! 2 different sites, usually with different information! I would suggest everyone checks both, regularly.
