Our I-485 was denied because

[Tradewind 6]

I don't believe a withdrawal can itself be withdrawn.

By regulation or law it can not. BUT it was not received and was in the mail when I called and I could not stop the post office from delivering it so I was advised to all. The tier 2 officer ASSURED ME that since they had not received it I could cancel. There should be a recording of the phone call.

I am getting my US Senator involved as I have contact with their office and they volunteered to help if needed. The Senator's office helped us before, when we applied for Lily's tourist visa from Panama 3 years ago......This is not fair for us as we have done all this by the book with this exception.

This is the notice I received on January 30, 2014. If I had withdrawn it would have stated so, correct?

Around Dec 20, 2013 I send withdrawal notice in the mail. The next day Dec. 21 before the USCIS received the notice I called and talked to tier 2 and they assured me I could cancel the withdrawal letter. I never received anything regarding the I-130 except the following on Jan 30.

Initial Review

On January 30, 2014, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance.

During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators.

A TRUE MIRACLE. The case officer just called and told me they made an exception and re-opened the case and is in process of transfer to Oregon for our appointment.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS we are in happy tears.
