yes, yes, and yes. The relationship is serious and we only put off getting married because (when i thought i filed correctly) I had to wait out the green card process while unmarried.

with my understanding even though i've discovered i filled incorrectly for myself, the presence after i filed i485 wouldn't count. So at most 3 year ban considering the time i had out of status. However, what do i do with the rfe? Leave it unanswered, leave the country and let them consider it abandoned? What if I was petition by a spouse in the future? I do have a long term boyfriend I've been seeing close to two years here. Would he be able to sponsor me after marriage or did I ruin any chance for future applications?

Hi all, looking for advance before my lawyer visit so I can at least set realistic expectations. I am Unmarried daughter (21 or older) of USC, 203(a)(1) INA at time of filing. I am currently inside the US and I have been since being petitioned. My father petitioned me and my younger brother, we did all the paperwork ourselves. All the forms filed were : I130, I485, I765, I864. Forms I130 were filed first, then the others some months after . I did research during the initial filing stage and saw the forms could be concurrently filed, which is what I did for me and my brother (I handled all paperwork and filing for us both, while father paid the fees). Since then, my brother and I got our ssn and work permit. Recently , we both got updates from USCIS, my brother's requested his medical but mine has the medical request and this RFE . It says I have until April 24th to respond and I'm worried I might have messed up my application somewhere, because I honestly don't know what to give them. Ever since getting the RFE I've been doing more research and here is where I could have went wrong: My green card application I485 was filed before getting I130 approval, unlike my brother who did have an approval letter when I mailed our applications (I mailed my receipt of I130 instead to show case was pending). However, my I130 petition was approved. Possibly Ineligible for concurrent filing; because of my age/category I could have been ineligible unlike my brother who was a month before 21 when I sent in our paperwork. If anyone can point out where I went wrong and explain the letter that would be really helpful so I can better prepare for my consultation.
