I-129B

[Poole78 0]

Hello everyone! My story:

I came here on fiance visa, filed for AOS (didn't need to marry because we had a double proxy marriage), USCIS is not a very orginized organization... they didn't study our case thoughroghly and made a mistake!!! (yes! they make mistakes) and they denied me... ( I was totaly bummed, because we filed everything corectly, I knew I had to file I-129b to appeal but I was so discouraged.. what if they deny again??! I contacted the local congressman and filed the motion, with their help and my thoughrogh explanation to the USCIS about THEIR mistake, my greencard was in the mail within days!!! with NO interview or additional evidence needed!!! I'm amazed that they acted so quickly!

So my question now is: does anyone know how to get the money back for this motion (that cost me another $600 to reopen the case, I pretty much paid for their mistake)?

I would really appreciate any answers

They won't give your money back just because you ask them for it, even if it was their mistake. As far as they're concerned, they closed your case, and you properly filed a motion to reopen it, along with the required fee. I think the only way you'll get your money back is to sue them.

For what it's worth, USCIS makes mistakes all the time, and people are denied because of it. It nearly always ends up costing more money. I've never heard of anyone getting a refund.
