❌ EB-3 Derivative Denied - Fraud/Misrepresentation (Dual Name) - India PD Unknown

❌ **Case Status: Denied** --- A principal applicant received their EB-3 green card, but their spouse's I-485 was denied after a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) on grounds of fraud/misrepresentation related to having two names. The family is now exploring options including Motion to Reopen, federal litigation, and a new I-130 filing. The principal applicant successfully obtained their EB-3 green card, but the derivative spouse's I-485 application faced a NOID citing fraud/misrepresentation due to having two names on record. Despite responding to the NOID with legal counsel, the application was denied. The attorney has recommended either a Motion to Reopen (MTR) or federal court litigation (485 litigation), noting that USCIS has been increasingly dismissing MTRs. A concurrent I-130 filing is being considered as a backup pathway. The family has been in the US for over 15 years with US-citizen children. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1uzvy7t/spouse_485_denied_what_are_our_options/)** *Source: Reddit I-485 EB* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
