QUESTION

I-485 Denial but No Letter

Asked on Jun 07th, 2016 on Immigration - New Jersey
More details to this question:
Hello, I am asking a question on behalf of my brother. This is an immigration related question. 1. Brother was sponsored by US citizen wife. In 01/2016, they filed Form CRI-89, Petition to Remove Conditions of Permanent Resident Status 2. He has been waiting without word from USCIS. His status online states ... " "On xxxxx, 2014, we received your Form CRI-89, Petition to Remove Conditions of Permanent Resident Status Received, Receipt Number #####.....If you do not receive your receipt notice by August 30, 2014" 3. Today, the attorney told him that back in March (03/16) - that is 2 months after the interview, he received a denial. 4. My brother has not received such notice directly from USCIS (he has not moved either and his address is correct). The lawyer never mailed the notice to him. 5.Is it plausible that USCIS could issue the denial outright without changing the case status online?

Yes, it is plausible the petition was denied but the information was not updated on USCIS's website. Unfortunately, the information on the website is not always up to date. Your brother and his attorney should have been mailed a copy of the decision. At the very least, his attorney should be able to provide a copy. Your brother can also contact USCIS by phone to verify a denial was issued and request another copy of the decision be sent.
