I-485面谈通知没收到、"缺席"被拒?新未名律所Motion to Reopen成功翻盘,婚姻绿卡获批 I-485 Interview Notice Never Received, Denied for "Failure to Appear" — New Weiming Law Group's Motion to Reopen Succeeded, Marriage Green Card Approved
一句话核心总结(TL;DR):新未名律所为一位申请人提交了婚姻绿卡I-485申请,I-130亲属移民已获批。但USCIS声称已安排2026年4月的I-485面谈,申请人没有出席——因此直接拒绝了I-485。问题是:申请人和律所都从未收到过这份面谈通知。这不是故意缺席,而是根本不知道有这次面谈。我们通过I-290B Motion to Reopen,用客观证据链证明面谈通知未送达——Motion提交一个多月后获批,I-485重新开案,移民局很快批准了绿卡。这个2026年8月的案例证明:I-485因"缺席面谈"被拒≠案件终结——但翻盘的关键不是"嘴上说没收到",而是用案件记录和客观文件证明通知确实未送达。
TL;DR (English): New Weiming Law Group filed a marriage-based I-485 for the applicant; the I-130 was already approved. USCIS claimed it scheduled an April 2026 interview that the applicant failed to attend, and denied the I-485. Neither the applicant nor the law firm ever received the interview notice. This was not intentional absence—they simply did not know the interview was scheduled. We filed an I-290B Motion to Reopen with an objective evidence chain proving non-delivery of the notice. The Motion was approved within about a month; the case was reopened; and USCIS quickly approved the green card. This August 2026 case proves: denial for "failure to appear" ≠ case over—but overturning it requires objective documentary proof, not just saying "I didn't receive it."

New Weiming Law Group, based in Washington D.C. and serving the DMV, Maryland, and Virginia Chinese community, presents an August 2026 I-485 Motion to Reopen success story—highly relevant for all applicants awaiting I-485 interviews for marriage-based, family-based, or employment-based green cards.
1. 案件经过:面谈通知寄了吗?申请人和律所为什么都没收到? / What Happened? Was the Interview Notice Mailed? Why Did Neither the Applicant nor the Law Firm Receive It?
案件背景:
- 新未名律所代理申请人提交了基于婚姻的I-485调整身份申请;
- 相关的I-130亲属移民申请已经获得USCIS批准;
- 2026年6月,申请人突然收到USCIS的I-485拒绝决定。
USCIS拒绝的理由:移民局表示曾安排申请人在2026年4月参加I-485面谈(interview),但申请人没有出席(failure to appear),因此根据8 CFR 103.2(b)(13)和相关规定拒绝了I-485。
关键事实:申请人根本没有收到这份面谈通知。我们律所也没有收到——作为代理律师(attorney of record),USCIS应当同时向申请人和律师发送面谈通知副本,但双方均未收到。
USCIS stated it scheduled an April 2026 I-485 interview that the applicant failed to attend, denying the I-485 per 8 CFR 103.2(b)(13). Critical fact: neither the applicant nor the law firm (attorney of record) received the interview notice. USCIS is required to send interview notices to both the applicant and the attorney of record; neither received it.
2. 没收到面谈通知导致I-485被拒,还有救吗? / Can an I-485 Denied for Missing an Interview Be Saved If the Notice Was Never Received?
答案是:有救——但仅仅说"我没有收到通知"远远不够。
Answer: Yes—but simply stating "I didn't receive the notice" is far from sufficient.
USCIS不会仅凭申请人口头声称"没收到"就撤销拒绝——否则任何人都可以在错过面谈后声称没收到来翻案。Motion to Reopen的核心是:用客观证据证明"没收到"这个说法是可信的。
USCIS will not vacate a denial based solely on the applicant's claim of non-receipt—otherwise anyone who missed an interview could claim the same. The core of a Motion to Reopen is: proving the claim of non-receipt is credible through objective evidence.
3. 新未名律所在Motion中提出了什么证据? / What Evidence Did New Weiming Law Group Present in the Motion?
我们提交了Form I-290B, Motion to Reopen,核心论证策略如下:
- 关键证据一——邮件接收历史(Mail Receipt History):申请人之前一直能够正常收到USCIS寄出的各类通知——I-485收据通知(receipt notice)、RFE补件通知、以及其他通信。这些文件上显示的地址是正确的。也就是说,申请人没有搬家后不更新地址,也不是长期收不到USCIS邮件——偏偏就是这份决定案件命运的面谈通知,她和律师都没有收到;
- 关键证据二——地址一致性(Address Consistency):申请人档案中的地址(address of record)始终一致,未曾变更,证明不存在因地址变更导致的邮件送达失败;
- 关键证据三——律师也没有收到(Attorney Also Did Not Receive):USCIS应当向代理律师发送面谈通知副本。我们以律所身份确认:从未收到过这份面谈通知。申请人和律师双方同时未收到,说明问题出在USCIS的邮寄环节而非申请人端;
- 法律论证:基于以上证据,我们论证申请人的未出席是由于USCIS通知未送达(failure of notice)导致的非自愿缺席(involuntary failure to appear),而非故意或疏忽。根据8 CFR 103.5(a)(2),Motion to Reopen应基于新的事实和支持证据——上述邮件接收记录就是USCIS在做出拒绝决定时未考虑的新事实。我们明确要求USCIS撤销拒绝决定,重新安排面谈。
Key evidence: (1) Mail receipt history showing applicant consistently received all prior USCIS notices (receipt notices, RFEs, other correspondence) at the correct address—proving no address change issue and no pattern of non-receipt; (2) address consistency—address of record unchanged throughout the case; (3) attorney of record also did not receive the notice—simultaneous non-receipt by both parties indicates USCIS mailing failure; (4) legal argument that the failure to appear was involuntary due to USCIS notice failure, constituting new facts under 8 CFR 103.5(a)(2) warranting reopening.
4. Motion的结果如何? / What Was the Outcome?
Motion提交约一个多月后:
- USCIS批准了I-290B Motion to Reopen,撤销了原来的拒绝决定;
- I-485案件成功重新开案;
- USCIS很快批准了这位申请人的婚姻绿卡。
About one month after filing the Motion: USCIS granted the I-290B, vacated the denial, reopened the I-485, and quickly approved the applicant's marriage-based green card.
5. 这个案例给所有I-485申请人的重要提示 / Key Takeaways for All I-485 Applicants
-
提示一:I-485被拒绝不一定意味着案件彻底结束。可以通过I-290B Motion to Reopen要求重新开案。但必须在规定期限内提交,通常是拒绝决定后30天(加3天邮寄时间);
Denial does not necessarily mean the case is over. I-290B Motion to Reopen is available, but must be filed within the deadline—typically 30 days plus 3 days mailing time. -
提示二:仅仅说"我没有收到通知"通常是不够的。需要尽量提供客观证据——邮件接收历史、地址一致性记录、律师同时未收到的声明等——构成可信的证据链;
Simply claiming "I didn't receive it" is typically insufficient. Provide objective evidence: mail receipt history, address consistency, attorney's confirmation of non-receipt. -
提示三:时间非常重要。收到拒绝通知后,不要因为认为案件已经结束而放置不管——应当立即评估补救方案。每拖一天,翻盘的窗口就缩小一天;
Time is critical. Do not assume the case is over upon receiving a denial notice—evaluate remedial options immediately. -
提示四:确保USCIS有你最新的地址。如果搬家,立即提交AR-11地址变更通知,并通过USCIS在线账户和律师同步更新。很多面谈通知、RFE、NOID的未送达都与地址不一致有关;
Keep your address current with USCIS. File AR-11 immediately upon moving and update through your USCIS online account and attorney. -
提示五:一份拒绝决定并不是案件的终点。仔细研究——拒绝的事实基础到底对不对?有没有新的证据?有没有Motion to Reopen或Motion to Reconsider的机会?有时候答案是有的。
A denial is not necessarily the end. Carefully analyze: is the factual basis of the denial correct? Is there new evidence? Is there a Motion to Reopen or Reconsider opportunity? Sometimes there is.
