My priority date is Feb. 24th 2004. I got an RFE requesting new medicals, EVL, and G-325A biographic forms. The first time I heard about this RFE was through text update from USCIS on May 7th. The actual RFE details was received at my Home address on May 21st. It took around 2 weeks to actually receive the RFE details from the time I got first updated about my RFE through text and email.

It took almost 4 weeks to get the EVL letter from my employer. Just last week, I answered the RFE through my attorney. It took almost a month and a half from the date I first received the RFE, to complete the response process. Its a good thing, USCIS gave almost 3 months time period to respond to the RFE.

friends,
can somebody tell me whats my situation here?
My PD is July 2004. With this Aug Bulletin (and PD Jun 1st 2004) am I current?
I didn't get any RFE or any text or mail? Where do they send these RFEs or emails are text messages? How do I give them my latest contact info?
Also, I don't have EAD yet because in 2008 fiasco (the so called gates open), because I didn't have my 1-140 approved by that time (which means I am living on h1s all these literally) .
Is it that I don't get any of these emails or RFEs or texts unless I go get my EAD first? Can I apply for 485/EAD now?
I appreciate your help.

My PD October 2004 and received RFE alerts (text/email) on Thursday 07/09 for myself and spouse. Will post details once I get notices.

1. Is your PD July 2004 or June 1st 2004? You mention both. If June 1st, then i believe visa bulletin includes June 1st as current.
2. Since you have not filed 485, you will not get an RFE. That is for AOS applicants who have already filed for 485/AOS with GC pending.
3. EAD/AP has nothing to do with RFE and Visa Bulletin. However you may get RFEs independently for EAD applications if your paperwork was not in order in the first place. You are generally eligible for EAD only during or after application for 485.
4. If you are current (June 1st 2004), then you may apply for 485/EAD beginning August 1st.

Thanks Hari.
1. My PD is July 2004.
2. So people with September/October PDs getting RFEs, because they already filed their 485. Got it, so my damn wait has to continue.

So close, yet years. Sigh!!!

Yeah I wouldn't lose hope. You will probably be current in September. Get your paperwork ready to file 485/EAD/AP - you may be actually be the lucky one that files for 485 and gets GC without needing to do EVL, medical and all the bullS$%T all over again like us.

Hi Guys,

Got a text alert from USCIS on July 11th for RFE .
PD 13th Oct 2004

Thanks

My PD is Apr 23rd 2004. No RFE yet. Although I did get RFE for EVL and medical for wife in 2007. Not sure if I will get it again.

[vivmit]

I don't have the labor papers anymore but my I-140 approval states that my PD is Apr 23rd 2004. Is that the right place to look for Priority date?
