❌ EB-3 Family-Based I-485 Denied and Refiling - Country Unknown PD Unknown

❌ **Case Status: Denied** --- An applicant's I-485 was denied due to documentation errors and an inadequate RFE response. Their attorney advised refiling a new I-130, I-864, and I-485, despite the original I-130 still showing as approved. The applicant is confused about the necessity of filing a new I-130. Applicant had their I-485 (Adjustment of Status) denied due to self-reported documentation mistakes and errors in responding to an RFE (Request for Evidence). The underlying I-130 petition was approved the prior year and still shows as approved in the USCIS online account. Attorney is recommending a full refile including a new I-130, I-864 (Affidavit of Support), and I-485. The applicant questions why a new I-130 is needed given the existing approved petition has not been revoked or invalidated. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1x0azbl/i485_denied_and_refiling_and_confused/)** *Source: Reddit I-485 EB* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
