yep..and re-file fast

I wanted to share a recent and important update regarding our immigration case. Earlier today, my wife and I were informed by our attorney that the judge has confirmed they will be making the final decision on our case. This is a significant development for us, as it marks a turning point in what has been a long and emotionally challenging journey. Our attorney explained that the government’s case against us is considered weak and, in fact, it was the judge who made the decision to remove the matter from the active court docket — likely an indication that they did not view it as requiring prolonged litigation. Based on this development, our lawyer will now move forward with resubmitting our I-485 Adjustment of Status applications directly to the court. We were advised that once the I-485 is resubmitted, the judge may choose to render a decision immediately during the hearing or shortly afterward. If all goes well — and there are no unexpected issues — both my wife and daughter are expected to have their green cards approved through the court process. This would provide them with lawful permanent resident status and finally offer our family the stability we’ve been praying for. We remain cautiously optimistic and hopeful that this long process will soon come to a positive resolution. Thank you for your continued support and prayers.

Good Afternoon, Just wanted to provide a quick update on our case. Our attorney is currently working to have the case administratively closed so we can refile the I-485. As of now, the case is still on the court docket, but from what we’ve heard, the judge doesn’t appear very interested in hearing it—apparently, it's considered a weak case. That said, we’re trying not to get ahead of ourselves and are staying cautiously optimistic.

Next Hearing Information There are no future hearings for this case.

Update: There is currently no new information available. The case remains cancelled, and no new court date has been scheduled on the court’s calendar. Our attorney is still waiting as well. From what I’ve heard through outside sources, the court is currently overwhelmed with other immigration matters, and it appears that our case may not be considered a priority at this time. But in truth, no one knows for sure. Our lawyer informed us that we will need to refile the I-485. He plans to present my wife's new I-485 directly to the judge, who will then make a decision—hopefully on the spot, without the need for another hearing.

Yes, we did hire an attorney..

Good Afternoon, As some of you may already know, my wife was recently summoned to appear for an immigration court hearing. We retained an attorney and submitted the required documents to him last week. Today, we received notification that the hearing has been cancelled, and that we will be issued a notice with a new date. Has anyone else experienced this kind of situation or received a similar notice? We’re just trying to understand what it could mean and how best to prepare moving forward. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That's the thing tho.. we did refile an I-485 in April. 2 month to this day!

Good afternoon everyone, It’s been a while since I’ve been on this site, but I’m reaching out now because I’ve run into some complications with USCIS, and I’m seeking advice and guidance. Let me explain: My wife arrived in the U.S. last year on a K-1 visa, as some of you may already know. We filed her I-485 (Adjustment of Status), I-131 (Travel Document), and I-765 (Work Authorization). She was approved for both the EAD and the travel document. However, we received an RFE (Request for Evidence) regarding the I-485. USCIS claimed a page was missing from the application. We resubmitted the requested page, but a few days later, we received a denial notice. The reason? The page wasn’t signed and dated. In the denial letter, they gave us the option to either appeal or refile. We decided to refile the entire package. Today, we received a new letter in the mail stating that my wife has to appear in immigration court because she overstayed past July 2024. This is extremely confusing and stressful because we got married on June 6, 2024, well within the 90-day window required under the K-1 visa. Can anyone please explain why she would now be placed in removal proceedings despite our marriage being valid and timely? I’ve attached the letter to this post for reference. Any insight, experience, or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, visa journey.pdf

Thank you !

Thanks.. i got my answer.

Good Afternoon. I have another question, please. when I send off my package to uscis. do I also send i-864 for each I-485, I-765 and I-131.. Do I just send one i-864 for 3 of them ?

that's my plan to send one package.

Thank you..

whats the form that i use for uscis to charge my credit card

ok.. so what you are saying ( I mean I know I would have to wait for an receipt number ) but my objective is to get it to them soon, whereas my case would be in the system

and also.. could I use the same uscis account that i have now to upload new 765 and 131

ok cool.. another question, Do you think that I should add the denial letter Ime and my wife received with the new i-485?.. ( thank you for your help )

ok cool.. so that would be one for my wife and then one for our daughter?

Good Morning Crazy Cat.. I have a question to ask (it's been a while since I had to fill out these questions again ) for each ( I-485, I-131, I-765 ) Do I include a copy of my I-864?

that's why my wife and i are working on the 485 as I speak to you now.. once I get the i-485 in, then I reach out to USCIS and inform them that a new i-485 is pending.. because the 131-and 765 have not reach it's expiring date

CrazyCat.. but there is a ( statement on the document that states we have 18 days to refile the I-485); if not the I-765, and I-131 will be terminated. The document indicates that those 2 (765-131 ) will remain active while the new 485 is pending.. if I go past 18 days they will then revoke the 765 and 131.

thats the plan.. but the question is, do I need to file a 131 and 765 again? i was told not too.. but not sure.

I did not more or less understand.. i just sent them the information. from my understanding they wanted her to sign it ?
