❌ EB-3 Marriage-Based I-485 Denied Due to USCIS RFE Misplacement - PD 2023-05

❌ **Case Status: Denied** --- A marriage-based I-485/I-130 case was denied after USCIS misplaced the applicant's RFE response in 2025. The applicant filed an I-290B appeal and simultaneously refiled a fresh I-485/I-130 in mid-2026, which is now pending an interview. This case involves a marriage-based I-485/I-130 filed with a priority date of May 2023. In 2025, USCIS misplaced the applicant's RFE response, resulting in an erroneous denial. The applicant responded by filing an I-290B (Notice of Appeal or Motion) with attorney guidance, though USCIS has not yet responded due to a significant backlog. Concurrently, the applicant refiled a fresh I-485 and I-130 in May 2026, which encountered an initial rejection due to a payment processing issue. The paperwork was resubmitted in late June 2026 and accepted. As of the posting date, the applicant is awaiting a scheduled interview for the refiled application. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1vkuhzi/update_i485i130_denied/)** *Source: Reddit I-485 EB* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
