I-130 Denied today. Filed concurrent I-130/I-485. Interview was scheduled last month but notice never arrived.

[Mirobg 3]

Hi all

 

Just woke up to find a notification that I-130 is denied. I-485 status still shows as interview scheduled. The application was filed a year ago concurrently. I was scheduled for my I-485 interview in March but it was postponed due to COVID.

 

On July 20th status changed to Interview Scheduled but the notice never arrived. I contacted USCIS twice about it and was told to wait. Most recently last week and was told the notice was never mailed.

 

Is this normal? I thought they had to wait for an interview to decide on an I-130 when it's filed concurrently?

Yikes! I'm sending out my 130+485 today/tomorrow.

 

Sorry man. Do they give reasons when denied?

Sounds like a no-show for interview is the reason. Sorry for this mess but you don't trust the telephone people for notice. Please wait for the letter to come and you can request an infopass to talk to a local agent. Good luck.

If you are inside the United States, you can no longer schedule an appointment online using InfoPass for domestic offices. However, you can check your case status, see our case processing times, change your address, and use other tools on our website.

If our online tools do not provide the help you need, please call the USCIS Contact Center to request an appointment.

Agree that you will have to see the letter for details.  What evidence was sent along with the I-130?   Unfortunately, it seems that I-485 will be denied, too, since the I-130 is the basis for adjustment.  Hopefully, you can get this sorted out.

I-130 wasn't denied before, my original interview which was canceled 6 days before it was scheduled so not sure why now. But I sent them evidence going back 20 years, multiple leases, joint banking etc

 

still on hold with USCIS for the last hour to talk to a tier 2

No show for interview would affect the i485 not the i130

It is a concurrent application, who knows? What is your suggestion?

it's a concurrent application though, and we were 6 days from an interview in March and the I-130 wasn't denied then

surely they'll do something for you since the notice never arrived? must be some tracking number they have?

Wait for the denial letter, and call to get an appointment to talk to the officer who is in charge of your file.

OP was answered because there was no show above. Don't be so certain about anything.
