RE: I-290 B Motion to ReOpen and/or Motion To Reconsider 

I-485 Case # IOExyz,  Applicants name, A#

 

 

Dear Officer,

 

In support of the above ref I-290 Motion to Reopen and/or  Motion To Reconsider , I am submitting the following factual, and evidentiary documentation:

 

1. Evidence of qualification for adjustment of status at the time of filing I-485 on Date

 
a)   Newly issued Marriage Certificate as well as the original missing the year 

b)    Sworn  Affidavit of  Citizen spouse attesting to the validiy and date of marriage.

c)    Letter from minister clarifying date of marriage

d)    Tax return 2022

e)    Tax return 2023

f)     Credit Card bill

g)    Credit Union car loan for xyz car

h)    Proof of insurance on the car

j)     Utility bill with joint names showing home address

k)    Photos for last 6 months.  with descriptions listed here

l)    Copies of last 2 of the 3 prior  I-290B

 

Applicant attempted all reasonable and timely efforts to address typographical/data entry error made by minister and other government agencies. Circumstances beyond Applicant’s control .

Humbly requesting Service to accept this Late Filed I-290 B and favorable adjudication.  

We Kindly note that the RFE's were vague and in our honesty we couldn't understand how a government certified copy of our  marriage certificate could be invalid.

 The RFE's  were vague using complicated language and we were unable to identify specific documentation deficiency . Subsequent trips to courts/ registrar have ultimately resulted in correcting the Year. 

Applicant additionally attempted to timely file an I-290 B  3 times prior to this. Applicant acknowledges  mailing the packet the first two times to an address other than the Chicago PO Box , in the mistaken belief USCIS will forward the sensitive filing. For this we apologize and ask for discretion , navigating the multitude of information and complex instructions on public website is challenging.

 

Respectfully, 

[elkski 30]

Do skip all other details you originally drafted , but edit my suggestion as you see fit. The gist of your agreement…although you can tell I don’t spell everything out …this is more got you to get clear on 

She married in time and otherwise qualifies .

Typo was NOT her error, other govt , so beyond control

RFE was vague

You filed timely , USCIS should just forward filings and not long ago, that was a practice spelled in internal memos

Bloody long 3 year wait

They can deal with it, they have discretion. You are appealing to the Human reading. …so even humor is good… BUT don’t admit fault 😂

 

 

 

 

 

Family, I copied and used your prose as our Cover letter with only minor changes.  I dont understand... I added a list of all the documents with letters. but that is what you said.

I think it was confusing because it looked like you are also drafting two letters /covers …

 

Just do one , and if possible add LATE filled for Good Cause somewhere on subject line .

RE: Brief in support of our I-290 B Motion to ReOpen and/or Motion To Reconsider 

I-485 Case # IOE #,  Name, A#

 

Dear Officer,

 

The facts are that at the time of the submitted I-485 in July 2021 we met all the legal requirements for the I-485.  Included at this time is documentation to show we were lawfully married within the allowed time.  See the cover letter for the full list of evidentiary documents that substantiate that we are a married couple living in the same domicile. The only reason given on our  denial of the I-485 was "no year on the Marriage Certificate". as you can see we have requested the County clerk to remedy this unfortunate clerical error that has caused our I-485 to go over 3 years.  The new copy is our main evidence that we met all the requirements at the time we submitted the I-485.  In addition the included IRS statements from 2022 & 2023 show that not only are we married but we have been working together after starting a  business together and  easily meet the financial requirements 

 

Regards;

[elkski 30]

I thought you needed both  a cover letter and a brief?  The cover letter on top and outlining the evidence and the brief using the  legal basis and connected to page 2 part 3 somehow.

I used page 5 to add to page 2 part 3 a item 4d I  say to see attached brief and cover letter for all the evidence being submitted. ... and on top of the brief  page I put Page 5 part 7 item 4....
