A green card applicant has received an immediate denial of their I-485 application right after an RFE. This happened even though they sent their response weeks before the deadline.
No Update on USCIS Portal
The USCIS portal never showed any confirmation of receiving the RFE response. It moved straight to “Case Denied” after the evidence was sent.
Suspected Lost Package
The applicant believes the USPS package may have been lost by the USCIS officer. This raises concerns about processing errors.
Criminal History Complicates Case
Their history includes two traffic convictions (DWAI) and one false arrest. This adds a higher risk of inadmissibility during adjudication.
Why the Denial Likely Happened
Experts say the denial was probably triggered by the missing RFE delivery. The criminal history may increase scrutiny and risk but may not be the direct reason for denial.
Urgent Need for I-290B
The applicant must file an I-290B Motion to Reopen within 30 days. They need to attach the USPS tracking receipt to show the evidence was delivered.
Chance to Reopen the Case
The motion will argue that the RFE package was submitted on time. This may allow USCIS to excuse the missed update and reconsider the I-485.
Possible Immigration Risks
An I-485 denial can sometimes lead to a Notice to Appear in immigration court. Acting quickly is critical to protect legal status.
Legal Help Recommended
Experts advise hiring an immigration lawyer due to the criminal history. Professional help could prevent further risks to the case.
