FYI:
Chat User : Hi, Murthy. Are you seeing any denials to I-485s these days? If so, what is the reasoning? Thanks for a wonderful, informative site!
Attorney Murthy : Thank you for your kind compliments. We do work hard but are motivated knowing how many people benefit from our WebSite. We do not see many denials on I-485s. A few cases, which had been denied, are based on I-140 revocations by the original sponsoring employer, and many of them are now being reversed. We are also obtaining approvals on our Motions to Reconsider with the CIS. Sometimes, the CIS, on its own motion, reopens the I-485 and agrees to continue processing it, even though they had earlier mentioned that it would be denied. The only few examples in which we have seen problems with I-485 approvals are where the person is not able to find a similar job or the salary differential is very high, or the new employer's tax returns make it clear that they really cannot afford to pay the required prevailing wage for the person, etc.
