Also based on the denial letter the officer suggested I-290B, it can work if we show that it was USCIS error not updating me in their system and attaching that DOS approval. Like it’s not my fault how their system is slow, and I already have the whole chronology I built of events and my inquiries.

No that’s the thing I never received RFE they are supposed at least do that so I can show my DOS approval. I did have an interview I mind you that the officer interviewing me for I-485 said that she would wait for I-612 to be approved and then only proceed. She noted it in my file in front of me. Oh man whole AOS over 2 years, it takes longer now a way longer. I am also doing motion to reopen because I cannot lose my job, I have to do it before 30 days expire to keep my EAD. I have husband and kids and mortgage to pay for… 😔

Thank you for your response. I was not trying to slip like you said and ignore the system I perfectly understand, but I was out of status and my country has been closed for a very long time because of Covid and opened up literally at the end of 2022, I couldn’t even go anywhere. So I was stuck. I have an attorney and she is suggesting we reopen the case and attach that DOS approval letter. The system is so not fair, some already got their I-612 approvals; while I have to wait for how many months now. I am not going to refile a new I-485.

Hi guys, has anyone experienced this- Got FR from DOS back on May 8, 2024 and still USCIS says I am not in the system and DOS claims they forwarded everything to the USCIS and also sent a copy of I-613 to me. Anyways, it’s been over 2 months about to be 3 nothing. I did apply for I-485 before as I was out of status and needed to have something while this I-612 was still processing… I know I shouldn’t have done it but I had no choice because of my status. They denied my I-485 couple of days ago claiming they never got anything on I-612 even though DOS forwarded everything. I have no idea what to do. I will probably not probably I will have to reopen the case with I-290B because applying for new I-485 is gonna be expensive and it’s a 2 year waiting now. I wonder if I can for now show my DOS Fr, I keep bugging USCIS and even did multiple inquiries and started another one yesterday with a congresswoman. It’s ridiculous how this system screws up everyone. I am trying to prove that the denial was erroneous because I have already DOS’s approval.

Wow yours is so fast! I have been waiting for 3 weeks anything from USCIS (receipt or my approval letter), I even called them and they said that I am not in the system yet. Whoa, #######. I don't know how else to get a hold of them. My case was approved in May-May 8.

Congratulations! And oh man they asked you to prove that there is indeed a war, Gosh, it’s unbelievable 🤦🏽‍♀️ I am sorry that you got stuck in a third world country. Btw I am still waiting for updates from the USCIS, it’s been a week since I received my FR. Waiting and waiting…
