AOS rejected... What to do next?

[Bieloanya 6]

Hi guys,

I recently posted on this forum saying that my husband and I filled for AOS but after two months we didn't have any NOA from USCIS.

well, this morning we got our whole envelope back.

On top of the i485 form there is a rejection letter, stating that:

 

1. We need to add the i944 form (which we didn't send with our application as we didn't know of its existence)

2. We need to fill the form I864 (which we did file and mailed, they even put a staple to it! Why would they say that we didn't?)

 

And on top of form i130, there is another letter saying that we need to fill form i485 (which I guess they ask for as they reject the one we sent).

 

Ma question is: what to do next?

File a whole new application or "fix" the errors and submit a new application, but mentioning the first one?

The doubt arises from form i944: apperently there is an injunction or a lawsuit of some kind and I red that USCIS can't ask for it to all of the applicants who file from July 30th.

 

Any advice?

Thank you all in advance!

your help is greatly appreciated

1) The I-944 is new since late February. However, there was a court injunction last week against the underlying public rule that necessitated the form. So it is no longer required again (and the form has been removed from the USCIS website).

2) The rejection notice says I-944 and/or I-864. Since the I-944 was missing (and was required at the time you filed), this applies.

 

It seems they also rejected the I-130 because it indicated concurrent filing with an I-485. Since the I-485 was rejected, the I-130 was rejected also.
