Good morning,

 

I did file for my mom who is in Uganda, and received a ref asking to include I 485 because my eligibility requires me to file one, am trying to understand this cause my mom is not in the us yet. Is the 1485 neccessary at this stage? Thank you for the responses.

I-485 is for adjustment of status. Did you make it clear on the I-130 that she is overseas? Which embassy did you select?

The application for the petition has not been fully complete, That i because i forgot to add a date of birth for one of my brothers.

 

Your i30 form is being returned to you because the eligibility you filed under requires that you file i485, resubmit both forms and appropriate fees in order to continue processing.

 

please be sure to complete the petition fully, submit the appropriate fees and include all required supporting documentation

So it’s not an RFE but a rejection but with their own mistake. I’d say just reapply again, put N/A in 61. Hopefully this time it goes to an officer who doesn’t make such stupid mistakes.
