❌ EB-3 Skilled Worker I-485 Denied - I-140 Revoked Without Notice, PD 2025-09

❌ **Case Status: Denied** --- An EB-3 applicant had their I-485 denied on July 15, 2026 after discovering their I-140 had been silently revoked on February 27, 2026 without any NOIR or revocation notice sent to the petitioner or applicant. USCIS continued processing the case and even approved EAD/AP after the I-140 revocation, creating a procedural due process concern. The applicant suspects a notice delivery failure due to a lawyer change or address issue. An EB-3 applicant filed I-485 on March 31, 2026 following I-140 approval via premium processing in September 2025. EAD and Advance Parole were approved on May 8, 2026. However, on July 15, 2026, the applicant received an I-485 denial revealing that USCIS had revoked the underlying I-140 on February 27, 2026 — over a month before the I-485 was even filed. The employer did not withdraw the petition, and neither party received a Notice of Intent to Revoke (NOIR) or the revocation notice itself. A suspected attorney change or address discrepancy may have caused the notices to be misdirected. The applicant maintained valid H-1B status throughout. The case raises serious procedural concerns: USCIS approved EAD/AP while the I-140 was already revoked, and the applicant had no opportunity to respond or appeal the revocation before the I-485 was denied. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1v091ds/eb3_gc_case_denied_after_ead_approval/)** *Source: Reddit EB-3 search* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
