After meeting 4 lawyers , I still decided to apply the I290B by myself , so blessed after 20 days only , yesterday my I290B both cases -approved and closed. Then an hour later I130 case approved. Today , Saturday 1:30 pm my I485 also got approved . really like a dream , after almost 4 years waiting . When I submiiited it , together with expedite letter and evidence . Also sent copies to Congressman for help . only 3 weeks I got my approval and Green card should be soon in the way . so don’t give up , whatever u facing now .

1. The decree I submitted USCIS consider it was just an English translation only. - but it is original English court paper from Hong Kong - then I got the APOSTILE to certify this is a true copy for I290B . 2. they claimed us left USA without advance Parole - not true - I had it when out and re-enter , parole chop in my passport - when applied the I290B , on top I got the email confirmation from CBP LOS angles airport . 3. my expedite with help of Congressman

All lawyers told me to re-submit. but I really don’t hv that time to wait another 2-3 years . and I think now they denied me with 2 reasons which I could easily prove , why not try I290B re-open first . I think this is more fair and reasonable to my case and situation . I feel so bad that all lawyers just kept frightening me ICE will come get me , and the rejection is due to my nationality . also said they need to refill whole case for me in a much stronger approach - showing that I am not just meet the minimum standard be a Us Citizen . But the more they said , I feel so wrong . in opposite , one low cost on line lawyer and Deepseek which they would not get further business from me , strongly suggest me NOT to , just fight directly to that 2 denial reason with my strong evidence on hand , don’t diverse it and weaken that with extra Bonafide evidence or other unrelated ref , as they never suspect this part at all ( but all paid lawyers asking me must do it ) . I write all these in here , because I know many of us are here long waiting or being rejected . so scared , so confused and so lost . I post my cases and what I walked through is want to telling you must importantly stay clam , trust yourself , need to understand no one care and understand our case more than ourselves . such as the 2 important documents , I was the one to search and dig out by myself . All lawyers I paid totally over 1000 usd , and spent so many hours at their office , not even one mentioned or suggested me any solution , except telling me the price for refile. And telling me my case was so dangerous and not easy to fix .

you’re victorious, thanks to the Lord!
