June 10, 2024- package delivered to USCIS lockbox July 17, 2024- email confirmation of receipt on June 10th as well as message that NOA was sent but no notice via snail mail yet. I-485 and I-765 applications both available on myUSCIS account. This is our second time applying as our application mid-April 2023 was denied May 2024 due to the missing final page of our affidavit of support. When we applied in April 2023, we received NOA within two weeks of applying. Seems to be taking much longer this time around.

My husband's I-485 was denied on May 28th and we decided to move forward with both an I-290B (motion to reopen) as well as refiling a new I-485. We were just missing pg. 10 (the last page for additional information) of our I-864. We received an RFE to resubmit our I-864 and when uploading our RFE documents online, instead of submitting the PDF with our complete (all 10 pages) I-864, I accidentally submitted a jpg that only showed the first page. Our denial notice stated we failed to submit a complete and signed I-864 "with all pages present" as the reason for our denial. I'm preparing our I-290B for my husband (he is the applicant and is addressed in our denial notice as the person who must appeal) but I have a couple questions. Question 1: Part 2. Item 4: Requested Nonimmigrant or Immigrant Classification How do I answer this question? My husband came on a K-1 visa and we married and sent off his I-485 within 90 days. I can't find any information about what his requested classification is. He didn't come on a spousal visa, but do we state CR1 as his requested immigration classification or do we put the generic LPR? I also found these possible immigration classifications: CF1Spouses, entered as fiance(e), adjustments, conditional IF1Spouses, entered as fiance(e), adjustments Question 2: Part 7 Additional Information Do I leave this blank or just make reference to the brief I plan to attach as a separate letter to USCIS making our case, along with our complete I-864 originally intended to submit for our RFE. I'd also love to see a letter anyone else might have submitted. I haven't had much luck finding one on the different forums. I'm aware most people decide to refile and don't submit a concurrent I-290B. We decided it's worth the $800 for the chance that our case may be reopened. Thanks in advance to anyone with insight!

We filed our paperwork for my husband's EAD card on May 16th, 2023, received approval on December 16th, 2023 and received his card on December 30th, 2023. Our case progress shows that our AoS case should receive a decision in approximately 3 weeks (we filed on April 20th, 2023). Hope that's helpful to others who are still waiting!

Hello! I'm and AoS for April, but since there's not much activity on my month's forum yet, I thought I'd start here in case anyone else experienced what we did. We received a notification receipt for our I-765, I-131 and I-485 but also received a strange RFE that requested documents we already submitted. Has anyone else encountered this? I'm attaching a redacted picture of our RFE for reference. The document states: You have submitted Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, from the petitioning sponsor. We are unable to process the I-864 because it has one or more deficiencies. In order for us to process your application further, you must: Submit a completed and signed Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, from the petitioning sponsor. All pages must be present and of the latest edition date. Provide the petitioning sponsor's Social Security Number on Form I-864. Provide a complete and correctly calculated household size for the petitioning sponsor on Form I-864. Submit a complete copy of the petitioning sponsor's Federal income tax return, including all supporting tax documents (W-2s, 1099s, Form 2555, and tax schedules) filed with the return, for the most recent tax year. I sent all pages, using the most recent edition from the USCIS website. I looked at my exact copy and found my social security number where it was required. I calculated our household size as 2 (1 for me, the petitioner, and 1 for my husband, the beneficiary). I submitted the last 3 years of IRS tax transcripts, the accompanying W-2s, paystubs from the last 3 months and a letter from my employer. Has anyone else encountered this or have a suggestion for how to proceed? I was planning on resubmitting the whole I-864 form, just the last year's IRS transcript and maybe my most recent last 3 paystubs. I'd be grateful for any advice! Katie
