Please help I-485 denied

[Jan2211 9]

Thanks for you reply Damara, I have a medical booked for next week. I accept the fact that i made a mistake based on bad information, I am considering hiring a lawyer to process any appeals/re-applications from here, however I will book an infopass appointment to cover my bases. I have already filled out the appeal form, and new I-485, EAD and AP forms just incase.

I would also expect a re application making more sense, an appeal needs a basis and takes as long, longer.

But I am not a lawyer so let us know what those who make their living out of this say.

[Jan2211 9]

Yes, I shall post on here as soon as I have spoken to a lawyer, I am swaying toward a re-opening or a re-application to be honest , an appeal isn't appropriate for my case, I only hope that they can reinstate my work authorisation quickly, a previous poster suggested that I keep working but I don't want to do anything illegal, again I shall ask the lawyer about this. I am also tempted to hire a lawyer to carry out the re-application procedure on my behalf however I have made an appointment with info pass for July 29th.will keep you all posted

Hello Jan2211,

I am sorry to know about what happened with your case. Have you received a letter yet? Unfortunately, I have a similar problem, you can check my topic here Motion to Reopen. We got denial at 04/28/15, two weeks later I filed Motion to Reopen as it was offered at the letter, attached new evidence (the certified copy of my husband's divorce yet of 2010) and copies of my underlying I-485. We have been waiting since then without any result. However, our situation is worse: we were outside USA visiting our families abroad, and my EAD + Advance Parole card was cancelled at that time.... So my husband had to stay with me for other 2 months (out of his work) hoping that USCIS would let me go back with him. Yesterday we had our 1st anniversary :-), and today he left home to USA, and I stayed alone :-(

I hope our MTR will get positive result, and I can return home. Otherwise, my spouse will come to me again in September, of course, losing his job completely, but what can we do.

You will see your options in the letter . Although I still haven't had a good result, I'll try to help you with advice as much as I can. Good luck!

Thank you Maria, I appreciate your help, I hope things work out well for you.

So, finally got my denial letter today.....reason for denial...not providing a fully completed I-693, this was requested as the doctor in the UK suggested a follow up medical 6 moths after my arrival in the USA..I had no idea what was in my UK medical and I arrived here in March 2014!!!!!! Second point of denial was that the civil surgeon who completed my vaccines, which was the only thing I needed according to the USCIS when I queried my RFE, filled out the i693 incorrectly, so how do I know what is in a sealed envelope..the letter says I cannot appeal but I can file a motion to reopen or a motion to reconsider, it also attaches 3 pages of legal jargon which I do not understand in the slightest. So I am having my medical on Wednesday, I have already told them of their serious error and I have a telephone consultation with a lawyer tomorrow, however I will more than likely retain a lawyer to sort out this fiasco.

OMG how crazy ! I agree to retain a lawyer, to deny was just plain stupid. Let us know what happens and I hope they will accept whatever

you decide, motion to reconsider/reopen.

Sigh !

my wife has just come home and read the letter and her understanding is that the USCIS was correct, I needed an updated medical for the vaccines only not an actual medical, so it looks my reason for denial was the fact the the civil surgeon filled out the forms incorrectly ......speaking with a lawyer tomorrow

[Villanelle 4,121]

Are you going to be using a lawyer for the MTR?

Here is a very old thread for someone that was denied and used infopass successfully. I understand its totally different circumstances- they missed an interview/you failed to respond to an RFE properly- I still believe there is info in it that can help you.

Vanessa is not active on the forums any longer sadly, but Darnell is and rumor has it if you say his name three times on a thread he will appear and offer advice.

I also think Infopass might be a good idea. There is nothing to lose and you earn yourself one more chance.

So i thought. Well.. before the paperwork is sealed you see what they're doing and you're also supposed to get a copy of that medical for your record. Anyhow I don't think you have a case with USCIS but I would definitely look into getting civil surgeon to answer for their incompetence.

That beyond frustrating, you go to the doctors they say on their website, you pay and expect a job well done, and when is not you pay the consequences.

Did you get a copy of your vaccine form? When I went the lady gave met the sealed envelope and a folder with all the forms for my record.

I also think getting an info pass appointment it's the first step

[Boiler 43,394]

Original went in the envelope and I got a copy.

How idiotic the reason for denial is!!! Instead of sending another RFE or writing an e-mail, calling (they have ALL our contacts), they ruin people's happy family lives! I am very, very disappointed in this country with its so-called "democracy".

Reminding that I have a similar situation with the author, I got denial because my husband gave me to provide them his divorce paper which was not certified... How can I know about right or wrong it is? He didn't now either, he took only what he was given by a court 5 years ago! Now, I have been waiting already more than two months for any information about my filed Motion to Reopen (with right divorce paper). I have to rent an apartment for 550 euro per month in his country (Cyprus) waiting for my Green Card or another RFE. Now it is only one place in the world where neither he nor me need to open visa to see each other! They don't let me live with my husband in USA all those months they reexamine our case!!! Is it fair?? How many fraud marriages they approve every day, give them green cards, passports, but if you are married bona fide, they give you hard time. I have no words, so exasperated...

Meanwhile, my medical exam got expired on 05/05/2015. What if they deny NOW because of it? But I cannot make the whole I-693 outside USA, I saved only the copy of the page 5, which is vaccinations. Before they request, I don't want to fly specially to Moscow, waste money for tickets and hotel to obtain new medical forms DS-2054, DS-326, and DS-330, which cost much also.

No, I don't understand the logic of USCIS when they make denials on such ridiculous reasons. Yes, according to their dry instructions, may be it is allowed, but... they see a true COUPLE on interview, bona fide relations, true love ... Can you imagine that they consciously break a family, kill people's dreams, plans, everything... just for one stupid, easy obtainable (when explained properly) paper??? I don't and I will never understand this technique. I just don't respect and don't accept it.

If it comes down to the repeat medical then perhaps you can do it in Cyprus, hopefully everything gets sorted out, I agree this whole

thing could have been avoided if they would have send a 2. RFE instead. It ends up overloading 'the system' even more so and it's

definitely not efficient for the gov to operate like this.
