A very straight forward marriage. I130 & I485 -DENIED -after 3 Years 7 months painful waiting
Case submitted : 22 Feb 22
Interviewed : 13 Aug 24
REF request : 23 June 25
( I693 & Divcorce cert only )
DENIAL : 11 Sept 25 .
Summary of Issues:
1. Advance Parole Misclassification – Repeated Error
• USCIS denied my I-485 application, claiming I departed the U.S. without valid travel authorization.
• This is incorrect. I held a valid I-512L Advance Parole document, approved through my I-485, valid until July 25, 2022.
• I reentered lawfully and submitted evidence of this.
• This same error occurred in my I-131 denial in 2022.
• My Congressman’s office intervened in October 2022, and USCIS acknowledged the mistake and issued a new Advance Parole.
• Despite this correction, USCIS repeated the same error in my I-485 and I-130 denials.
2. Misinterpretation of Divorce Certificate – Factual Error
• USCIS denied my I-130 petition, stating I failed to submit the original divorce judgment and only provided a translation.
• This is factually incorrect.
• The document I submitted is the original certified decree issued by the Hong Kong District Court.
• Hong Kong operates under British common law, and English is an official legal language.
• The application was filed in English, and the court issued the decree in English accordingly.
• The document bears the official red circular court stamp and the registrar’s signature, confirming its authenticity and legal finality.
• There is no Chinese version unless one is separately requested and paid for.
• USCIS misclassified the original as a translation, despite clear legal formatting and certification.
Dear all , anyone had my same terrible experience ? W can I do ?
1. If I go for I-290B for Motion to Reopen and Motion to Reconsidersk - I am not able to leave the country to deal with my emergency cases in Hong Kong which I planned to fly in 2 months .
who had the experience with similar situation and denial reasons and can give me yr timeline ?
2. I see many people just go ahead to re-apply the whole bunch of Green card application . my last experience was 3.5 years like this mess now , how can I trust it would be faster ?
but this mean, I can at least apply urgent I131 AP , and able to plan my urgent trip .
please share yr experience and advices !!! 🙏

hi guys! here is my code 8Y32XM7 replace 7 with Q for those who want 60 free 💎 and have not used any code before to gain access to lawfully analysis

on your lawfully app you click on the 3 dots to the right bottom for more, then you click where it says referral. Now you type the code I provided 8Y32XM7 replace the 7 with Q where it says enter referal code.
Visa Bulletin and I-485 question
Hi all,
I am a Green Card holder, filed I-130 for my spouse in April 2025. The I-130 is pending decision.
The visa bulletin for September 2025 has
•Final Action Dates chart for F2A as 1 Sept2022 and
•Dates for Filing Family Sponsored visa applications chart as 1 June 2025
USCIS says all family-sponsored filings should use date of filing chart for September 2025
here is my question/confusion
Based on the information above, can I go ahead and file an I-485 for my spouse while the I-130 is still pending?
thank you.
