Can you put our minds at ease? (merged)

What exactly was denied?  If it was the I-485 only and not the I-130, you do not need to file another I-130.  What is the status of the I-130 itself.

Look at the bright side.  By the time you receive a spousal visa, it will be an IR-1 as you would have been married for two years.  That means no Adjustment of Status the next time around!

I think you mean removal of conditions, not adjustment of status.

First, please blackout or otherwise mask any personal information, case numbers, etc. This is a public forum.

 

Second, you entered on a K-1 visa and did AOS from that. As such, you never filed an I-130...you used an I-129F. So you will need to file an I-130 now.

Since it's after 10 minutes you can no longer edit it. I sent a report to have a friendly mod address it.

Thank you so much, also thank you for your help. 
So we just have to get over what has happened, move on and file the i-130 correct?

I am so sorry. I did not think. 

[gareths 3]

So yes, this is the reply we got. Back ground story:

We went for AOS interview and was approved but the officer said my medicals needed to be signed off on.

We got that done, he gave us a piece of paper with instructions, on the paper it said place this paper in the package. 

We had 30 days to do so. I thought I had done it, but I forgot the paper in the package. That paper identified our case with the package. 

Therefore they did not identify the package with our case so they said. 

Then the 30 days went by.

In this period we had moved address' and we thought we had changed address'

My wife was not allowed to change address, they said. So that added more time as the people on the phone were not much help.

Then time went by for the notice to get to us and we had no time to appeal, the period to appeal had already gone.

Naivety, stupidity, fear all in one I guess.

It happens more often than you might think.  Don't lose any sleep over it.

Will send you a personal message shortly.

While I cannot comment on whether you have other options other than filing for a CR1/IR1 from overseas, I hope you realise that your paperwork must be in order if you want your case to proceed smoothly. 'Thought I had done it' should not be something that happens at all in your next step. My husband and I live on almost opposite ends of the planet. We have a 13-14 hour time difference. I am the one who's good with paperwork but he's the one who has to assemble packages and send off the papers. We have had to be meticulous at every stage to ensure all papers are submitted, all forms filled in correctly etc. so we got no RFEs nor checklists. It takes us up to 3 weeks to put a package together because everything has to be checked thoroughly. Immigration is not something you can hurry or rush through, or you will just end up prolonging your separation.

 

Whatever your next step is, study very carefully every single form. Read every single word of whatever instructions there are. Search this forum if you have questions. Good luck.

I understand, we had an awful lot going on. We will redeem ourselves here!

no need to redeem yourself here, the only negative consequence was to yourself. Good luck with your next steps and continuation of the process

No problem.

Exactly. It'll take some time, but this will get resolved and you'll be together again.

Have you ever filed a petition for the beneficiary?

The answer would be:

Yes 

Sxxxx

"location we filed from"

(does it have to be the exact date we filed the petition?) 

Result: Abandoned 

Correct?
