dismissal
we went To court and the immigration judge got our case dismiss and I’m confuse because we first apply for green card base on marriage and we never got any answer since 2023 then we send a letter to withdraw the application then in Mar 2025 immigration send us letter saying they receive our request to withdraw the I-485 application and complete their review then later our lawyer put another request to continue the case then on august 2025 the immigration judge ordered a dismissal so I don’t know if the I-485 got dismissed or the request to continue the case anybody have any idea about that? help please

if they dismiss in court it means government attorney refused to join motion you might have to go back to Uscis to finalize ur i485

it got dismissed by immigration judges we didn’t hire any government attorney it’s USCIS judge that dismissed our case that’s what got me more confused

@freeman 1 question why our case went to the court? it’s normal? because we never been on deportations or anything the only thing we applied was I-485 I don’t understand why it’s at immigration court

@beauty B If you withdrew your I-485 then there’s no case to continue at your request. You need to file a new I-485. Congratulations on getting your case dismissed at the IC

The immigration judge’s dismissal likely refers to the removal court case, not necessarily the USCIS I-485. But if you withdrew the I-485 and USCIS completed that withdrawal, the I-485 may no longer be pending. You need copies of: the IJ dismissal order, USCIS withdrawal notice, any motion to continue, and current USCIS case status. Do not assume your green card case is alive unless USCIS confirms it.

A case usually goes to immigration court when DHS issues a Notice to Appear. That can happen after an I-485 denial/withdrawal, unlawful presence/status issue, or some other removability issue. It is not “normal” for every I-485 case, so you need to know exactly what the NTA says. Get a copy of the NTA and court order. Your lawyer should explain whether the I-485 was withdrawn, denied, or whether removal proceedings were dismissed.
