✅ EB-3 Family-Based I-485 Denial Reversed via I-290B - Approved

✅ **Case Status: Approved** --- An I-485 was denied the day after the underlying I-130 was approved, prompting the applicant to file an I-290B motion to reopen/reconsider. The motion was successful — USCIS reopened the case on September 30 and approved it the very next day, October 1. The case also had a concurrent congressional inquiry in progress. This case involved an I-485 that was unexpectedly denied just one day after the associated I-130 petition was approved. The applicant pursued two parallel remedies: an I-290B Motion to Reopen or Reconsider filed with USCIS, and a congressional inquiry initiated through a congressional representative. Approximately two months after the denial, USCIS reopened the I-485 on September 30 and approved it on October 1 — just one day after reopening. The rapid approval following reopening suggests USCIS acknowledged the denial was an error. No RFE or additional evidence request was issued during the reopening process. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1wv7827/update_i485_denied_i290b_granted_green_card/)** *Source: Reddit I-485 EB* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
