Good afternoon everyone,
It’s been a while since I’ve been on this site, but I’m reaching out now because I’ve run into some complications with USCIS, and I’m seeking advice and guidance.
Let me explain:
My wife arrived in the U.S. last year on a K-1 visa, as some of you may already know. We filed her I-485 (Adjustment of Status), I-131 (Travel Document), and I-765 (Work Authorization). She was approved for both the EAD and the travel document.
However, we received an RFE (Request for Evidence) regarding the I-485. USCIS claimed a page was missing from the application. We resubmitted the requested page, but a few days later, we received a denial notice. The reason? The page wasn’t signed and dated.
In the denial letter, they gave us the option to either appeal or refile. We decided to refile the entire package.
Today, we received a new letter in the mail stating that my wife has to appear in immigration court because she overstayed past July 2024. This is extremely confusing and stressful because we got married on June 6, 2024, well within the 90-day window required under the K-1 visa.
Can anyone please explain why she would now be placed in removal proceedings despite our marriage being valid and timely? I’ve attached the letter to this post for reference.
Any insight, experience, or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
