Update on my case
USC mom petitioned for me in November 2010. Filed for I-485 and I-765 in November 2016.
Interview in November 2017. At the time immigration officer said I am putting your case on hold pending a final background check.
No word about my case until December 2018 when I received notice that my case was denied due to an error on my part of filing I-485 too early. So they claimed. I was heartbroken but I was sure Immigration was wrong. I noticed on the denial notice they claimed my priority date as of 03/2011 and not 11/2010 as it said on the original receipt I received when my mother filed the petition.
USCIS was now claiming my priority date as 03/2011 due to an RFE we received when my mom filed the I-130 back in 2010. We were given till 03/2011 to reply to that RFE and we did reply on time. All other correspondence between them and us shows my priority date as 11/2010. Until that denial letter in December 2018.
I messaged Demise who kindly answered all my questions. I had to consult a lawyer to file an appeal to that denial. The lawyer agreed with me that USCIS was indeed wrong about the priority date on the case. We filed the I-290B in January of this year. In April I received notice my case was reopened. Today I got notice my case is approved and card is in production.
Finally.
