I485 Information, details and scenario playout

[idliman]

Apologies for not being clear enough.

What i meant was a scenario wherein my application is received on time but later on its returned/rejected due to something critical missing (lets say signatures, incorrect cheque etc). I get to know of this after it has passed the filing date cutoff (for ex: Nov 30th) when i am no longer eligible to apply it again (assuming Dec VB doesn't accept filing date or Filing Date moves back).

Don't worry about the lightning strike worst case scenario. In that case you will unfortunately miss the boat. This happens to one in 1000+ applications or so. That's why you pay big bucks to your attorney. They have processes that will prevent exactly this kind of a situation. We cannot do anything now. So be positive. Everything will be good. When one door closes another one will open.

I would recommend to worry about issues in your control. There is enough stress in the immigration process to be thinking about things beyond our control. If it's clerical error on USCIS' part then the lawyer can refile saying it was filed initially in a timely manner and was wrongfully rejected. USCIS will have to accept the case regardless of filing dates. If it's an error on our part, we missed the boat. But one thing I can absolutely say for certain, No amount of worrying about the fringe scenarios (not in our control) is going to change the outcome!!

Finally got notification from the attorney that the checks were cashed! Received by them on Oct 9 and cashed exactly one month later on Nov 9. So those anxiously waiting for receipts, it's taking about 4 weeks or so.

any idea on the service center it was filed? was it a downgrade application?

It was filed with Dallas lockbox but the notification came from the National Benefits Center (Receipt number starts with MSC). It’s a regular EB2 case, no downgrade.

Thank you! Dates were overlapped between two apartments with in Same state and counties (in USA only). It was purely a honest mistake by legal team.

I doubt if they will even consider it as an RFE candidate. Its within the US and they can always verify the facts . So relax and enjoy the holidays . You will be fine.

I can only confirm this after I receive the paper notices, but I think the consecutive receipt numbers are in sequence for I-485, I-131 and I-765. At least that's what I can tell when I plug in my case number +1 and +2 from my I-485 case numbers. So they are likely rejecting the I-131 and I-765 if the I-485 is rejected.

My AOS application was received by the TX lockbox on 24th October. What happens if I don't get a receipt notice by 30th Nov with the following scenario. USCIS does not accept filing date and my application is rejected due to any reason. Do I lose the opportunity to refile or is there any recourse?

First of all, the series of what ifs and doom scrolling here is a bit rare of a rarity. Also, I'm pretty confident that USCIS will continue honor filing dates in December so even if your gloom n doom scenario materializes somehow, you and your attorney can re-file in December.

Thanks for sharing here. Mine was received on 10/22 and my attorney was mentioning that it could take up to 4-6 weeks due to crazy volumes (obviously!).

As far as I know it would not matter if they reject your i-765 and i-131. You need to be more concerned about i-485 being rejected. I do not see a reason to panic. I know it's anxious times and while we are waiting any bit of negative news can be blown out of proportion. Do we even know if these case are Employment based or Family based?

[srimurthy]

My take would be to not send the Supplement-J as they are already overloaded. Supplement-J is not mandatory to issue the GC, so if your Meds have not expired they might issue the GC w/o any RFE. If Meds have expired they will issue it together or just the Meds.

Any idea when a response for G-1145 (optional to intimate application received) can be expected?
If this is attached with the 485 Submission, do we expect a email or text in a week or a month... or based on the load they are just ignoring it?

Same received by them on October 14th and got email from lawyer that checks cashed on November 13th

I have a question for anyone who has received a biometric appointment after filing the AOS.

I am the primary applicant and my biometric notice says it is for I-765 and I 485 and is for code 3.

My spouse who is the derivative also got the biometric notice. But his application says that the case type is only I 765 and it is under Code 2.


Is this going to be a problem or lead to delays?

What does the notice say for you and your derivative?

I appreciate any response.

Thank you!

[mknop1]

I received mine and wife’s derivative notice and both have 485 & 765 on them and code is 3 on both. I can’t speak to your question on it’s implications. I am eb3 priority date june 2010.

my data is around 2 years old, but both said code 3. My guess is that they may have the fingerprints from a recent appointment for one of you, and thats why the code is different. i doubt if this will lead to a delays, but if you are concerned you could try to confirm with USCIS.

[Kesid23]

Thank you both of you for replying.


What I was reading on trackitt with others who had similar experiences is that we may have to wait for another FP notice for 485 for my derivative!


The uncertainty is no fun!!

Sorry for the delayed response. Yesterday was my biometrics appointment. For me and my wife code is 3. I don't believe it is going to cause any problem or delay. It is all depends on how recently they have the finger prints of the applicant.
