I would create a new topic for your case. Every case is drastically different which might affect outcomes and wait times.

@Family @OldUser My wife and I got home from our 1 year anniversary dinner today and she got an email saying action was taken on her case. The I-485s have been approved! No notices of reopening the cases. Just straight from denied to approved. Notices should be arriving in the mail in the coming weeks.

We did file it on paper. They sent us a letter back then as well on setting up an online account to track its status.
-
The only accounts we have are for the I-485 for my wife, and another for her son's 485. We even included these account numbers on the 290B's, but they sent us letters saying they created new accounts anyways.

Small update: We've received a letter from the USCIS saying they've created a new account for us regarding the 290B submittal. We were able to contact the USCIS through a phone call and they told us, for whatever reason, we cannot simply add the case to the existing account and that we need to create a new email address which can then be used to log in to the new one they made for us. So thats what we'll do. Kinda silly, but I suppose it is what it is.

NOA1 received but check not cashed

I would try calling that number on the bottom right corner of your form and see if anyone there can answer your question. In my experience they return checks they don't need. My wife and I sent processing fee cashiers checks but they were returned to us due to the fees being covered with another application we sent. -

Alright, we are just sitting still and trying to trust the process, haha. Forgive me if I'm sounding distrusting but everywhere I've researched from sources by the USCIS they say that she can't work even though shes a direct relative to a USC. I'm reading a lot of contradictory information than what I'm seeing here. Minor update: Today my wife got a notification from USCIS saying they have taken an action on her case, but upon review in the USCIS account it looks like they just posted the denial of her original I-485 online. We got the denial letter back on the 11th of this month, but it was never reflected online. Until today. Hopefully that means they're looking at our 290B.

I'll definitely look into the congressman authorization form. But in regards to her EAD I think we are deciding to just turn them in like they request in the denial letter, just to be on the safe side. We did some research and read several cases where applicants were denied GC or even their citizenship applications after the USCIS somehow found out they worked without a valid EAD during their time in the country. We don't need any more issues than we are already dealing with, and my income is more than enough to provide for us. We got notice earlier today that they did receive our 290B forms, so hopefully we hear the good news of the case being reopened or even approved. Worst case scenario we are preparing a new I-485 submission just to have on hand if we need to refile.
-
My current concern is regarding my wife's EAD. This coming Sunday is the 18 day limit where it is still valid, unless we can prove that her case is pending. Unfortunately that "proof" is dependent on how quickly USCIS responds to their receipt of our I-290B. Is the USPS receipt enough for this proof so that her EAD stays valid?

Thank you. We appreciate the well wishes!

Sent off the packages a couple hours ago. Should be arriving to their offices by end of day tomorrow.

Yea, I just saw some comments around VJ about them needing statements for each motion so I thought I'd write something up to see how it would look and get some feedback. I'll stick with the original. Thanks!

Funny you mention USCIS fees, haha. Today when we were just verifying the finish packet we realized that adding the bank statements that show previous USCIS fees would be a good thing to include. Including a printout of our recent bank activity showing the two $800 transactions for the very fees were are sending this whole thing in for.
-
We don't have any personal checks. Never had a use for them. Maybe I'll get some just to have on hand for some unexpected future need.
-
Thank you for all your help. I forgot that my bank is closed Saturdays so I have to wait until Monday to get the cashier's checks. I'll blame that forgetfulness on the very painful cold I'm currently battling. I was reading up on some other threads and saw on the 290B that they wanted statements for both the motions to reopen and reconsider. I added more direct verbiage to the cover letter, and included quotes from the denial letter to address. What your opinion on my revision? Should I keep it simpler and go back to the other one?
