Guest Rob & Jin Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Oh, I forgot to ask! My wife asked me. "Why do they for more "Evidence" after she already had Biometrics?" Good question. I have no answer! The whole AOS thing confuses me, having just had all the background checks done and income looked at for K-1,I think its crazy they want to do it again just a few months later , but then again its USCIS, so it doesn't have to make sense I guess Link to comment

The whole AOS thing confuses me, having just had all the background checks done and income looked at for K-1,I think its crazy they want to do it again just a few months later , but then again its USCIS, so it doesn't have to make sense I guess K-1 is a NON-Immigrant visa, so income affidavit (I-134) is only for support while the person is a NON-Immigrant. IMMIGRANTS require a stronger binding contract between sponsor and the US government, this is the I-864, in this case US Citizen/Spouse, MUST be primary sponsor. The consulate only looks at the I-134 and uses it to determine if they will issue a visa or not. USCIS on the other hand requires I-864 to issue a GREEN-CARD. Link to comment

Seems redundant Link to comment
NY-Viking Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 ... ok understand that, even though GUZ looks at all financials with I-134 , but why more biometrics and background checks ? Seems redundant More background checks, I understand. Someone who didn't pop up on the radar previously might pop up now. More biometrics, I don't get. Finger prints don't change, and a person's appearance shouldn't change so drastically in the time they require a new picture, so seems to be a waste of time, money and resources. But then again, this is from the Department of Redundancy Dept. Link to comment
bla Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 We got an RFE today asking for my last 3 years Tax Returns. I sent all of this when I sent the AOS paperwork.WTF is wrong with those people at USCIS? I have seen this before and never understood.The same thing happened to me too. I got an RFE about 4 months ago and I am still waiting for my GC, even haven't gotten my EAD or AP! My husband called UISIS couple times but didn't get any useful information at all. I guess there is nothing we can do except waiting. Link to comment
georgeandli Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 You all must learn to relax. Don't assume there is a problem. 30 to 90 days between anything happening is normal. It only seems like forever. Link to comment
Toplaw Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I am watching and learning Jeff. I faxed in a request for the IRS transcript for my 2007 return. I already have them for the previous three years. If they send an rfe for three years of tax information it seems like the IRS transcripts will be the easiest way to handle their request. I might also try to handle it by fax if it happens. Link to comment
yanjeff Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 We got an E-mail from CRIS today. Here is what it said : " The last processing action taken on your case Receipt Number: MSC**********Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS Current Status: Response to request for evidence received, and case processing has resumed. On August 1, 2008, we received your response to our request for evidence. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. You should expect to receive a written decision or written update within 60 days of the date we received your response unless fingerprint processing or an interview are standard parts of case processing and have not yet been completed, in which case you can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done. This case is at our NATIONAL BENEFITS CENTER location. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register." I hope this is a good thing! Link to comment
LeeFisher3 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 It only confirms they got what you sent, nothing more. In some cases the information has been the only thing preventing a non-interview approval and the green card gets approved, in others the response gets you an interview appointment letter. Either way your case is being processed and will be completed when they get around to it, thank you for playing. Link to comment

AmyAndDoug Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 "TOUCHED" yesterday 8/4/08 What do you mean "TOUCHED"? that's another updated after the processing resumed update? We haven't heard anything since we got the notice of "processing resumed." So anxious... >_< Link to comment

So anxious... >_< YesI checked our case status at https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp it shows that someone at USCIS "TOUCHED" (OPENED) our file on 8/4/08.But it does not say what, if any progress has been made.

dnoblett Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 ok understand that, even though GUZ looks at all financials with I-134 , but why more biometrics and background checks ? Seems redundantBiometrics are USCIS taking compleate finger prints, a photo, and signature for EAD and Green-cards. The green-card has a finger print displayed on it. K-Visas are considered NON-Immigrant, and don't get a complete FBI finger print check until adjusting status to immigrant. Biometrics provides a complete set of finger prints to FBI for additional checks required for green-card. Link to comment
AmyAndDoug Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 hmm... thanks! Jeff, can you please copy&paste the content of this update like you did last time? I wonder how they stated that your case had been opened. It's been over 10 days since our update of evidence received and processing resumed. No further update of "touched" yet. =( Link to comment
