I-485
Case Was Denied
Green Card (adjustment of status)
What this means
USCIS decided against approving this filing. The denial (or rejection) notice explains why and whether you can appeal, file a motion, or refile. Deadlines are short — often 30 days.
What to do next
Read the entire notice immediately. Calendar any appeal or motion deadline. Talk to a licensed immigration attorney or accredited representative before the deadline passes — do not ignore the letter.
