USCIS Denies Green Card Even After RFE Response

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.
