My application for permanent residency (I-485) based on I-130 (marriage) was denied, because I-130 was denied. The petition was considered abandoned for the following reasons: They supposedly contacted us by phone to prove my husband's am. citizenship by providing a birth certificate "issued by a civil authority", stating that they only recieved a hospital certificate of birth.
Is there any other birth certificate other than the one that your hospital provides for you when you are born, which is sealed with a stamp?
Since they never asked for the "correct(?)" birth certificate (not even at the interview), how is it my fault of abandonment?
There is no appeal from their decision...I may request a riview in deportation proceedings before an Immigration Judge.
Do I have to file again?
Is there any way to reopen the case? Is there any way to file a complaint?
How many times can one apply for a green card and get denied?
Thanks for any answers! Alabama![]()
