Why would you say its not a valid filed application?

I’m assuming the definition of a valid i485 here means accepted. Her application decision is in the pipeline. So was wondering if it’s going to be trouble for her if she stays in the US even after visa expiry while USCIS deliberates.

A person who has filed a valid I-485 is granted "authorized stay" in the US while the case is being adjudicated......If she leaves prior to having a valid advance parole document, she will abandon that adjustment of status application.

I don’t think it’s a valid i485. We just received a receipt notice from uscis telling us that they received the documents and fees and they will let us know about her biometric appointment. the issue is that they took forever to get back to us and now her visa expires next week. Is she still authorised to stay even though her visa expires and as of yet no timeline available on biometrics? 

My mother in laws I-495 has been received by USCIS. They will now let us know about her biometric appointment. She is right now in the United States and Her visit visa expires next week. Does she have to go back or she can stay now that her case is in the pipeline. My husband, her son, is an American citizen born here.

Did you get back the biometrics fee check as well? Were i485 fee and biometrics fee put together in the package? It’s possible they didn’t see or misplaced the $85 check.

yes we got the whole package back including the three checks. All the checks were paper clipped together so i don't see how they didnt see it. they returned the package with all three checks stapled together to the green i-797 notice so they would have clearly seen that there were three pieces of paper while stapling. could it be that they want one check for $ 1225 for i-485 and biometirc?

Was each check labelled for what form? Where and how were the checks put in the package? How old is the mother?

 

 

 

yes each cashier check was labelled for what it was in the description. it was made out to US department of homeland security exactly like that. there were three checks. $535(i130), $1140(i485), $85(biometric). the mother is 60 years old. 

Hello all. My husband is a U.S.citizen and has been trying to apply for visa his mother who is from Pakistan. She used to have a green card before he was born but then after her husband died while she was pregnant with my husband she moved back to pakistan and had to give up her green card. now 30 years later her son who was born in U.S is applying for her citizenship. we live in US and i have a green card too. she is here on tourist visa and we were thinking of applying for adjustment of status while she is here so she didn't have to go back. now we submitted i130 and i485 together. the fees for each are $535 and $1140 respectively and $85 for biometric. now we made 3 separate cashier checks for each and submitted with the application but two weeks later we got a rejection i797c notice saying the fee is not correct for i485. can someone here guide us on what we did wrong. we have double checked all the forums and immigration guides and can't figure it out. the fees are what i mentioned so i don't know what went wrong and what we are supposed to do. any help in the right direction would be extremely appreciated. Thank you.
