Adjustment of Status - I-485
Fields marked as * are required.
Confusing and frustrating experience.
Hello everyone, I am in a very desperate situation and need help clearing things up.
I have an approved I-130 since the year 2008 (my father is a USC). In the waiting time for my priority date to arrive I got married (in 2011) and now have a daughter (born in 2013).
We (the 3 of us) came to the US in December 2016 with a tourist visa. We applied for adjustment of status because my priority date came up in the visa bulletin but my spouse and daughter are not listed in my I-130. I have people from a filing center with decades of experience telling me that everything is good with our forms and that this is the way to do this. My I-485 is in process since 03/08/2017 and I had my Biometrics taken in 03/30/2017, but my wife's and daughter's I-485 has been returned today for the 4th time stating that:
"it is being returned for the following reasons: 'Based on the information you provided, your priority date could not be established. Please resubmit your application with the proper documentation to the address listed on the bottom of this notice.
The following documents may be provided:
Your original Form I-130 if you are filling concurrently; or
A copy of your Form I-797 if the I-130 petition has already been filed/approved; or
other evidence that an immigration visa petition has been filed/approved on your behalf' "
I need to know if we should be filling in a different way than what is suggested by the filling center we paid.
Do I need to update my own I-130 so that they are listed there?
My I-485 is in process, can I wait for my interview and add them there?
Should I wait until my GC is approved to file for them?
Any other advice would be most helpful.
Thanks in advance.
