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-485 Denied
I just got a letter in the mail saying my I-485 was denied in the grounds of not providing RFE. (Said my request was abandoned)
The RFE in question said to be sent on June 9 so according to the letter hasn’t been a month since the request. The RFE in question is proof of vaccination and doctor examination which I have done and it is ready to send but I had to have time to take those vaccines again.
They said I had 33 days to leave the US yet the letter says “The response with the requested evidence was due to us no later than September 5, 2023. You did not respond to the RFE. Actually, the RFE was returned as undeliverable and you have not updated your address.”
That being said, we did receive the RFE and the USCIS agent also confirmed that the proof of vaccination was the requested evidence so I don’t know how to proceed with this.
I sent a letter in explaining the situation and with pictures of the requested information that I would send in soon. #immigration #visa #I485
Seeking for insights/experiences regarding application status

Hello,
Timeline for i485 (spouse of US citizen):
Receipt Notice 8/15/2022
Finger Print 9/12/2022
RFE (Financial stability) 02/02/2023
RFE Submitted 03/07/2023
Combo Card approved and received in late May 2023.
Pending since RFE was received on 3/7.
I just chatted with agents through live chat on USCIS website. I had a chance to connect with the first agent and he told me that my application is at Washington Field Office. This was my first update since last time I contacted them early June. Last time the agent told me it's in the normal processing time, so wait. I believe Washington Field Office (I think that is near Washington D.C) is Washington D.C office because I live near there.
And I had to work on quick meeting and the chat was blown when I came back. One think I remember what the agent told me was it's in the Washington field office and they have jurisdiction either to make a decision or request more.
So, I wanted to double check and reached out to live agent again. And I received a response like they should've responded to you within 60 business days, so he will request to the field office to take an action within next 30 business days, also gave me a reference number for the request.
1. My question is, is that a good sign that my application is at the field office?
2. Anyone have an experience that got the reference number and got response within next 30 days?
Any questions for more details or any thoughts/ideas/experiences would be appreciated.

Priority Date
My immigration options are given below:
October 2022: My employer filed PERM, but not yet approved.
January 2023: NIW I-140 approved.
May 2023: EB1A I-140 approved.
I have the following queries:
1) I want to clarify if having an approved PERM means I have obtained the priority date. Is it necessary to file an I-140 after receiving PERM approval through the employer to secure the PERM priority date?
2) If my PERM is not approved, but I file I-485 when EB1A becomes current, what happens if my PERM gets approved after 1 or 2 months of I-485 filing? Can I update the PERM priority date on my submitted I-485 application with the approved PERM? Will this shorten my waiting time for the I-485?

EB3 Skilled I-485 No Case Updates Online
Hello.
Everyone else seems to have a specific updates such as 'case being actively reviewed', 'card being produced', etc.
Ever since my case got transferred from NBC to a FO far away from where I live, my uscis case status has been staying still even when I was sent a mail to take my fingerprints and RFE following right after.
Is this normal?
How can I get my uscis case status to be up to date?
My PD is February 2022, fingerprints taken in March 2022, non-medical RFE response made in August 2022.
When I reach out to live agent through Emma, the agent tells me that my case is processing normally and that's it.
Has anyone had a similar experience with no updates ever since the transfer? Specifically Newark FO is where my case got transferred to.
Thank you and hope everyone's case is going smoother than mine..!
God bless. #I-485 #i485 #rfe
Got I693 RFE even though GC application status says no Visa available
Hi All,
My GC application had paused stating "We are temporarily pausing work on your application because an immigrant visa number is not immediately available to you." . My priority date is Oct 2013 which got current but retrogressed by the time application was in November 2022. However, on Jun 6th they sent me RFIE on Form I693 for missing vaccine. Does this mean they are still reviewing my application? What can I expect further? #I485
Rfe I485
Hi All,
In December 2022, we started the AOS process through my greencard holder spouse. In order not to risk my valid visa, we applied without waiting for the 2022 tax return. My husband's tax return for 2021 was below the desired rate, but we also showed the cash that had been in the bank for a long time. RFE came about our file and it was stated that they could not determine whether my spouse's sponsorship was sufficient, and new evidence was requested regarding the financial situation or you could add a joint sponsor.
My husband has already filed the joint tax return for 2022 and is is well above the desired amount(56K). We still have cash in the bank.
In this case, would it be sufficient to send my husband's tax return for the year 2022 and our bank account to RFE, or do we have to find a joint sponsor? Our lawyer said that since we applied in 2022, the tax declaration for 2021 is important, and if we do not present a joint sponsor, our file may be rejected. If we reply to RFE with my spouse's 2022, can they reject the file without requesting other RFE? #I485 #rfe
