I485 DENIED

[MariaAndreas 9]

You can't possibly reopen the case - it's your inadequate response to RFE that got it denied. You have to file a brand new AOS and get the new medical done and pay all the fees.

Don't say nonsense!

First, if her medical examination is younger than 1 year, she can send only its copy, she doesn't need any new one;

Second, motion to reopen is exactly to reopen the denied case providing the new facts and evidences. Of course, it is up to what the last USCIS letter says about her options. They usually write that they denied the I-485 application and something like: "you cannot appeal this decision. However, you can file Motion to Reopen/Reconsider, form I-290B, within 30 days after this decision was mailed."

Motion to Reopen is exactly if the case was closed in the applicant's fault, but he/she obtained new facts and evidences that may change the earlier decision by USCIS.

If it were NOT her fault, she could file Motion to Reconsider, with the same form, within 30 days.

If 30 days have passed, then only new I-485. BUT if her medical examination has still not been expired, she can send them its copy. Period.

There are no new facts or evidence in this case. The OP was properly denied due to an insufficient response to the RFE. Any MTR/R is unlikely be to successful, and will waste 6-12 months.

A new application is the proper course of action.

Agree there is no basis to reopen, just wasting time and money. Forget now if a medical is good for 6 or 12 months, thought it was the former.

Yah i am thinking i might just gonna do it again, medical cost (which they just gonna give me sealed envelope) about $115 here, i already got tdap and MMR . Tdap shots is every 10yrs and MMR is every 20yrs as i research it. The cost a bunch is the fee which is sucks. But if its the only way i can work then its a little investment for a better life especially to my son

Money saving tip 1 - Talk to the same doctor for a newly dated copy for reduced cost.

Money saving tip 2 - I am sure you have a genuine cause and need about 700-800 bucks for fees and 2000 more if you hire a lawyer ( not exact numbers). If you want help with this money, start a request on gofundme or any other similar site. You can then share the petition on Facebook etc. and your friends can share and pitch in too.
