⏳ EB-3 Removal Proceedings After I-485 Denial - Undisclosed Country PD N/A

⏳ **Case Status: Pending** --- Applicant's I-485 was denied after an interview where the beneficiary gave inconsistent answers and failed to bring required tax documents. A subsequent I-290B motion was denied due to attorney error (wrong address), resulting in a Notice to Appear and active removal proceedings as of September 2026. Following an approved I-130 in 2025, the I-485 interview resulted in a denial due to a contradictory answer to a question and failure to present Form 1040 at the interview. A timely I-290B (Motion to Reopen/Reconsider) was filed but rejected because the attorney submitted it to the wrong address, rendering it untimely. A Notice to Appear (NTA) was subsequently issued initiating removal proceedings. At the Master Hearing on September 28, 2026, the respondent appeared without legal representation, mistakenly denied having an approved I-130 on the record, and the judge dismissed objections from the accompanying spouse. The respondent requested additional time to obtain counsel. Next individual hearing is scheduled for December 4, 2026. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1wt58c4/master_hearing_experience_september_28_2026/)** *Source: Reddit I-485 EB* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
