📋 EB-3 Family-Based I-485 Denial & MTR - Venezuela PD December 2025

📋 **Case Status: RFE Received** --- An I-485 was denied on May 12, 2026 due to a missing long-form birth certificate. A Motion to Reopen/Reconsider was filed and received May 19, 2026, resulting in the case being reopened with an interview scheduled for August 13, 2026. The petitioner is a U.S. citizen sponsoring her Venezuelan husband. Case involves a family-based I-485 (spousal) where the initial denial was issued due to a missing long-form birth certificate — a document requirement the applicant acknowledges was overlooked. A Motion to Reopen/Reconsider (MTR) was submitted approximately one week after denial. The case was successfully reopened and an interview has been scheduled roughly 3 months after the MTR was received. I-130 was approved December 2025. Beneficiary is a Venezuelan national. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1ur3bv4/i485/)** *Source: Reddit I-485 EB* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
