Oh really, that's interesting. Will do.

Yep, you're right. I misworded that originally. I meant photocopies of the originals. Included are the I-94, photocopy of my passport, photocopy of the K-1 visa in my passport, and a photocopy of the admission stamp when I was admitted on the K-1 visa. The photocopy of the previous I-485 receipt is, in my mind, more to help with determining whether I have maintained a lawful status since arrival. I appreciate the help, thank you!

Yes, and yes. I am including *a copy of* my original 129f Notice of Approval and will also be including *a copy of* the receipt of my original I-485. My thinking being that that can be used to provide proof for Evidence of Continuously Maintaining a Lawful Status Since Arrival in the United States. (What Evidence Must You Submit with Form I-485 7. A). Might not be necessary, figured it can't hurt. Got my medical scheduled for Tuesday, with a USCIS Civil Surgeon. Once I have that I should be set to send my packet in.

Will do! Thanks!

Did you mean I-131, or I-130? The I-131 is a travel document, correct? As I am not sure what my next steps are exactly. If I indeed can refile I-485 (within the 33 days of the date stated on the denial notice), then this shouldn't be too difficult, and I'll be able to fix it. Appreciate the quick replies!

Hey everyone, I got a notice today stating my I-485 Adjust of Status has been denied, marked November 6th. It seems, for whatever reason, I completely forgot to include the affidavit of support which we did fill out. From what I can tell we can't reopen the case because there is no new evidence. USCIS also didn't make a mistake, so reconsidering is not an option either. We are legally married now, as of september 10th 2022. What are my next steps? I am trying to get in contact with a lawyer obviously, I am located in Alabama. I have found 2 immigration lawyers via the USCIS find a legal help page (refers me to: https://www.americanbar.org/groups/legal_services/flh-home/flh-hire-a-lawyer/), had no luck in being able to get in contact with either of them yet. At the same time, would it be possible for us to restart the process via the I-130 form? Petitioning for an Alien Relative. If anyone has any other tips on finding an immigration lawyer that could help us in our situation, that'd be greatly appreciated.
