Mother's I-485 denied- Options?

[Rjnep 0]

Background:

 

My 70-year-old mother’s I-485 was denied due to a missing Form I-864A. I mistakenly included my spouse’s income on the original Form I-864 without submitting Form I-864A. However, my individual income alone meets the 125% federal poverty guideline for a household of five (myself, my wife, two children, and my mother). My family and I are her sole source of emotional, physical, and financial support.

 

I recently submitted Form I-290B (Motion to Reopen and Reconsider) with corrections and supporting documentation, including:

1. A corrected Form I-864 showing only my income.

2. W-2s, tax returns (2023–2021), and recent pay stubs proving income.

3. A bank statement for additional financial evidence.

4. An explanation letter clarifying the error and demonstrating my financial eligibility.

 

Question:

 

What are the likely outcomes of the Motion to Reopen and Reconsider? Are there additional steps I should take to strengthen my case or expedite the process? What is the typical processing time for such motions?

If you reponded correctly and your case doesn't have other issues, you'll get a favourable decision.

 

Processing time typically within a few months. I'd let @Familycomment
