AOS Returned?

[bozer632 0]

I sent in the paperwork for my stepson's I-485 back in Feb of 2006. A short time later he received his AP/EAD. Since, there has been a few touches to his case, and I figured he was caught in the FBI name check (funny because he is only 7). Today I received this e-mail from "CRIS". I am confused why they would send the "document" back after this amount of time has passed? As far as being returned as undeliverable, we move during the process and we did complete the appropriate paperwork. I am more concerned about them sending back the application. Any thoughts why this would be?

Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: DOCUMENT OTHER THAN CARD OR TRAVEL DOCUMENT BEING HELD FOR 180 DAYS SINCE RETURNED AS UNDELIVERABLE

On April 20, 2009, the post office returned your document I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS as undeliverable. We will hold it for 180 days from April 20, 2009 to allow you time to contact us. If you do not contact us at 1-800-375-5283 within 180 days, this document will be destroyed and you will need to file a new application or application for replacement with fee.[/b]

My guess is that it might be an RFE at this point, rather than rejecting the whole application. It says "document" and it was something they sent to you, which got returned to them because the post office couldn't deliver it. So it sounds like it went to your old address then back to them because you don't live there.

Whatever happened in the past has happened. Forget about the past now. First of all, It is a big mistake to change the

address during the AOS process. Because they do not get it !....

It does not matter whether you have filled out AR-11 & mailed it to them and/or

you have done the address chance on-line.

They don't usually change the address, they always go with the the original address.

The best thing to do for you at this point is to make INFOPass appointment &

talk to any IO in your local office, explain the situation & make sure that IO will update your address.

The highlighted part makes me wonder if it was actually a greencard. That is the main thing I associate with a replacement fee since the child is so young. I could be wrong. The e-mail seems to be a one size fits all kind of thing so it is hard to say for sure until you find out for sure. I would call them immediately and then schedule an infopass if necessary.
