A few words about me 
From this site, I learned so many things as well as so many foreigners fighting for this legal process. Just to be able to think "Wow, I am not the only one!" encourages me to keep biting my tongue each day.

Topic: RFE for I-693 form

I got the same situation; got RFE even though I filed in August 2007. The sealed exam was returned to me, and I also assumed that my attorney submitted it a year ago. To answer your question,

Yes, I did the medical all over again with the new revised 693. I would not take chance by sending the old record from last year. Trust me, after sending the new one, I got the card in two weeks. Good luck

Topic: EAD approval after RFE on 485 possible?

June 18 RFE for 485
July 7 EAD renewal/case received and pending
July 17 EAD biometrics app notice
July 18 RFE received case resumed
July 28 485 approved
Aug 1 biometrics app for EAD

I talked to IO today that I do not have to go to this appointment. I am yet to receive the actual card.

Topic: RFE sent

I think you should call IO to check. Mine is very similar to another dreamer: RFE replied on July16, got received email on July 18. But I did not get any LUD after biometrics, though it seems most people were getting LUD right after the appointment.

Topic: Card Production Ordered Club. Feel Free to join the club!!

Grrrr, this club scares me......I have my approval sent to me on July 28. No CPO yet. PLEASE HELP! I have an biometrics appointment for EAD renewal this Friday. My current EAD expires on 10/11. Should I go to this app just in case or I do not need to because my 485 is already approved as my attorney said. I really do not trust my attorney, so please advise!

Topic: is GC worth sacrifices and compromises made to get it ?

For somebody like me, educated in US from HS, college, grad school, and with a profession which means nothing in my country, yes it is worth getting it. If I go back to my country, I am a junior high graduate, I will be either woking at 7-11 or serving tea to men, making copies.....with minimum wage. I make 6 figures, why should I go back?!

Topic: Who receives I-485 RFE by mail? Applicant or Attorney?

Somehow this was my case:
I140 approval - to my attorney
EAD and AP - to me
Fingerprinting appointment notice - to both me and my attorney
I485 RFE notice - to my attorney
I485 approval - to me

If I did not have to pay all that money, I should have been retired by now! I am in my 30s. LOL
