I 485 Administratively Closed
I have been legally residing in the United States since 2000 under J1, H1 visas and I had a work based I485 adjustment of status pending since 2007.
Recently I had applied for a renewal of my work permit based on my I485 Adjustment of Status and I got the attached notices from USCIS that my I765 and I131 is denied due to the underlying I485 being not available.
I checked with EMMA and they told me that it is administratively closed on 11/11/2021 and I have until 11/30/2022 to request to reopen it. One EMMA Rep told me that nothing is wrong, please ask USCIS to reopen it. Me or my attorney do not have a reason why it was administratively closed as we did not receive it. I am not in removal proceedings yet.
My attorney's are concerned that if I request USCIS to open it without knowing why it was administratively closed they might deny it due to an issue in my situation. In 2014, I pleaded guilty to a USC 1001 Federal Felony Charge. for a business dealing in 2008. My wife is a LPR and she will be eligible to be a US Citizen in 2026.
The Help I need:
Can someone please recommend whether I should request USCIC to reopen my I485? If yes what are the chances of a denial. #I485 Administratively Closed.

Administratively closure of the 485 is just removed the application from the docket of USCIS but the merits of the case is still pending. I would suggest you find out why the 485 is admin closed first. if your attorney is not able to handle this then find a different attorney. Best of luck.
