My husband's I-485 was denied last year due to an uploading error on the USCIS platform in May 2024. We filed a new I-485 application and concurrently filed an appeal. In August 2024 we won our appeal and my husband's green card was approved November 2024, based on our original I-485 application. I never withdrew our second I-485 application, assuming that the officer who looked at it would see my husband's original I-485 was already approved. Today I received a notice that my husband's I-485 interview has been scheduled and he needs to appear at the interview on June 30th. Has anyone else experienced this situation before? I plan to formally withdraw the second I-485 application before the interview date, but wanted to check here for others' experiences before proceeding.

June 10, 2024- package delivered to USCIS lockbox July 17, 2024- email confirmation of receipt on June 10th as well as message that NOA was sent but no notice via snail mail yet. I-485 and I-765 applications both available on myUSCIS account. This is our second time applying as our application mid-April 2023 was denied May 2024 due to the missing final page of our affidavit of support. When we applied in April 2023, we received NOA within two weeks of applying. Seems to be taking much longer this time around.

My husband's I-485 was denied on May 28th and we decided to move forward with both an I-290B (motion to reopen) as well as refiling a new I-485. We were just missing pg. 10 (the last page for additional information) of our I-864. We received an RFE to resubmit our I-864 and when uploading our RFE documents online, instead of submitting the PDF with our complete (all 10 pages) I-864, I accidentally submitted a jpg that only showed the first page. Our denial notice stated we failed to submit a complete and signed I-864 "with all pages present" as the reason for our denial. I'm preparing our I-290B for my husband (he is the applicant and is addressed in our denial notice as the person who must appeal) but I have a couple questions. Question 1: Part 2. Item 4: Requested Nonimmigrant or Immigrant Classification How do I answer this question? My husband came on a K-1 visa and we married and sent off his I-485 within 90 days. I can't find any information about what his requested classification is. He didn't come on a spousal visa, but do we state CR1 as his requested immigration classification or do we put the generic LPR? I also found these possible immigration classifications: CF1Spouses, entered as fiance(e), adjustments, conditional IF1Spouses, entered as fiance(e), adjustments Question 2: Part 7 Additional Information Do I leave this blank or just make reference to the brief I plan to attach as a separate letter to USCIS making our case, along with our complete I-864 originally intended to submit for our RFE. I'd also love to see a letter anyone else might have submitted. I haven't had much luck finding one on the different forums. I'm aware most people decide to refile and don't submit a concurrent I-290B. We decided it's worth the $800 for the chance that our case may be reopened. Thanks in advance to anyone with insight!

We filed our paperwork for my husband's EAD card on May 16th, 2023, received approval on December 16th, 2023 and received his card on December 30th, 2023. Our case progress shows that our AoS case should receive a decision in approximately 3 weeks (we filed on April 20th, 2023). Hope that's helpful to others who are still waiting!
