I-485 refilling
Refilling my I-485
I got my I-485 denied for which I believe(and others here) that was their(USCIS) mistake.
Rather than trying to convince them of their mistake should I just refile my I-485? (my I-130 was accepted) and do I have to pay the fees or can I not pay them for this same case?
I read a few articles and some say if your i-130 was accepted and you are just refilling for the same case you wouldn’t need to pay the fees but want to hear from you guys.

I'm not entirely sure about your situation, but if you believe there was a mistake with your I-485 application, consider consulting an immigration attorney. They can advise you on whether to refile and address fee-related questions.

@JayOo Calixte I did and they also think it was their mistake but said that it’s hard for USCIS to admit they made a mistake so the lawyer advised me to write a letter explaining it which I did or/and refile or open a I-290B but they all require such big fees and lawyers are so expensive too. it’s just upsetting.

@Giovanna DAuria read your post yesterday. make sure to have that medical in order when you’re refilling

@Giovanna DAuria consider looking into the validity of your I-130 after the I-485 denial. If it's still valid, you may refile the I-485.

@JayOo Calixte is there a validity time for i130? i thought it’s forever valid once approved
Jaycee C.Jul 27, 2023
you are right @soso M, yes once USCIS approves the I-130 Petition for Alien Relative, it remains valid indefinitely. However, it can be revoked if USCIS discovers fraudulent information or if the petitioner or beneficiary becomes ineligible.
I bet that we don't know his/her story, therefore making sure that the I-130 is still valid has a point.

@JayOo Calixte my I-130 is valid
