don't know what to do

[anca 0]

So I send the forms I-130 and I-485 to Chicago two weeks ago(I'm applying for AOS from J1) and Saturday I've got a Rejection Notice on I-130 saying:

"This BCIS location can only process I-130 applications that are submitted with form I-485 when a visa number is immidiately available for the beneficiary's immigration category.please file form I-130 at the BCIS Service Center with jurisdiction over your place of residence"

I called uscis and they told me that the only thing that I can do is to wait until they give a visa number and then send the form again, but that does't sound right to me

I don't know what to do

You should have checked Box a.. the one that states that an Immigrant Petition was approved. THat is the correct choice since the I-130 will be approved by the adjudicator immediately before the I-485 will be adjudicated...

Redo the I-485, check box a, and send it back to Chicago...

We checked box a on our forms for AOS.... redo and refile...

Good luck

should I only send the form I-485 with the corection?

I would re-do and resend I-485 with an explanation letter (since it appears that is all they sent back to you, anyway).

anca,

Did the USCIS return both submissions to you?

Did you keep a copy of both submissions before you sent them?

Anca, you are adjusting status based on marriage (it doesn't matter what your status was before). USCIS kept your I-485 and the other forms accompanying it, and returned the I-130, right? Then you should check box a) on the I-130 and send it in again, with the appropriate fee. You are not in trouble, don't worry. If you want, you can also send them a letter explaining that you are eligible to AOS based on marriage to a US citizen (once again, the J visa does not matter), and that you have already sent in the I-485.

Good luck!
