Dear friends, 

     Good evening. I wanted to get your input and suggestions. My attorney just informed me that he received a denial notice for my I-485 application. Per the denial notice, the reason is I failed to attend an interview scheduled back in Nov 2019. But, I never received or was informed about any interview appt notice. Per the USCIS website, my I-485 application is still pending. No mention of an interview notice at all. As per the case status update, the latest information they have is that my fees were waived. 

The question is what is the probability that this denial notice was issued by mistake? 

My current options appear to be: 1) contact Ombudsman, 2) appeal the decison with the USCIS Appeals Admin Office and

3) re-file the I-485 application? 

 

Has anyone else faced this issue? 

Coincidentally my current work permit is also to expire in March 2020. So, this has now impacted my approval for a C09 based EAD card. If I file for a c31 based EAD card, how long would it take to get the receipt notice and finally the approval and EAD card? I understand the wait time is longer for c31 based EAD. 

I would appreciate anyone who can give me proper guidance regarding solutions and how to expedite the process? I would be grateful for any advice! 

@sandranj

                  I would truly be grateful for any advice from you, if you see this. Thank you. How easy is it to fix this issue and how long does it usually take to course correct when you are faced with this scenario?

Nope. I will look for it. Is the name Visa Tracker app?

yep, Visa Tracker is the app, so when you add your case you will be able to set up the notifications with that little button at the top corner!

I have a quick question. My AP was mailed to me today and there’s a separate page with my picture and a blank parole stamp box. To those people who have travelled with their AP, is that supposed to be blank? Is it stamped on the port of entry? Do they take it or we keep it? Thanks in advance

Is it a safe app to put our information.? Can you take screenshot of the app so I know what it looks like.

Did you file it in Vermont??? Just asking because my attorney filed it wrong last year and I’ve never got it... that’s why I am super surprise getting done in 5 week!

yup, filed it in Vermont. It's my 2nd renewal already and my EAD/AP is expiring next month, so I'm really hoping to get it soon.

That’s great, I’m happy for you! I hope I have the same luck as you. I filed in April 2018, I received a RFE for good faith marriage in October 2019 and USCIS received my response on November 26 and since then I haven’t heard from them. I’m praying I get my approval soon

Because my lawyer said I’m in removal proceedings your case is more complicated than that.  However, She said she almost guarantee that we will have to wait for the I-360 petition to be approved in your case before we will be able to move forward on an adjustment application. So I don’t know I can summit my I 485 right now or not

People often get the 'We updated your name" notification whenever any administrative action is taken on their case. It's nothing to get anxious about. Good thing you have your Prima Facie..it's moving along..however, you still have quite a journey ahead..if you add the time it will take to get approved and then be scheduled for i485 interview. I hope it goes smoothly and faster for you!☺👍

Thanks. I really appreciate ur response.

What country are you in? You will have to go to your embassy and obtain another passport, then you can go to US Embassy and obtain a stamp to return to US. 

lostgirl20, do what Pinkrlion says.

How awful to lose your passport.  Best of luck and minimal stress in getting things back together.

Good morning family, I have two questions. My rfe was received by USCIS on June 2018, I have not heard anything since then. My lawyer is not much help. Anybody here who has been in a such situation? 
I also applied to renew my work permit, I received a notice to go for fingerprints. Do fingerprints expire? I had them done few years ago. Any help is appreciated.

Fingerprints notice is normal. For rfe do the following:

1. Submit online request to USCIS. They will not respond, but u may need proof that u tried.

2. Call them, hear a standard response.

3. Call congressman, ask to submit a request on ur behalf why evidence review is taking so long.

4. Contact ombudsman office and indicate that you already did the 3 things above and still haven't heard back after months of waiting for rfe review.
