के मैले priority date लाइ current हुनलाइ कुरेरै बस्दा ठिक हुन्छ? If USCIS also send back the money order/check of i130, there is no priority date to wait for. You have to reapply i130, get the Notice of Receipt , the date on that receipt is the priority date. Wait for that priority date to be current before you apply i485.  अनि के documents फिर्ता आउनु स्वाभाविक नै हो? It's natural. Sometime they send back only i485 but sometime both.   reject भाको हैन? It is rejected but not denied. So you can reapply.   मेरा सबै documents को किनारा मा स्टाम्प जस्तै हानेका पनि छन्, के मैले रिअप्प्लाई गर्दा त्यहि application submit गर्न मिल्छ? फेरी त्यो स्टाम्प हानेको form मा expiry date पनि छ जुन अब expire हुन आटेको छ /  I believe the expiry date on the stamp is the time frame within which you can re-apply the same forms correcting what ever was incorrect beforehand (in you case you should resubmit i130 only and not i485). If it's expired, you might need to start a fresh new application. Other expert's opinion might enlighten this one more..... कसै संग यो सम्बन्धि अनुभव एंड ज्ञान भएमा कृपया मलाई बताई दिनुस न है //// Telling you what i know....

Santosh bro, u can't file i 131 and I 485 until and unless f2a category is current. There is no doubt that ur application is returned back by uscis... Ani bro don't compare ur case to your friends because each and everyone has unique case. I got my GC from f2a category applied on August 2013 when it was current..... Right now it's not current so u can't file nothing just wait for spouse citizenship or f2a to be current .

Santosh bro, Did your check clear for I130? , Did you send a check for I485 as well? How about that check? Was the rejection on I485 only or I130 as well ? I guess these question's answer would be more helpful to properly understand your situation. Moving on, Sorry for hijacking your thread to ask my question. I just submitted I130 for my spouse and I received my first notice. The check cleared a couple of weeks ago. But I had just sent the I130 forms. When should I send the I485 forms? When the PD becomes current or before that (after approval of I130). When I check my status online with the receipt notice, this is the message I get. On January --, 2015, we received your Form I-130, Immigrant Petition for Relative, Fiance(E), or Orphan, Receipt Number EAC*************, and sent you the receipt notice that describes how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your receipt notice by February 14, 2015, please call Customer Service at 1-800-375-5283. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address. Anyone care to shed some light on the process or better yet outline what happens next, I have been around the immigration forums but I guess I just wanted to get some pointers here as well. Thanks , danbahadur

@danbahadur... It seems like you already got the receipt notice and they are processing ur i130 which would take several months. So all you need to do is wait for its approval. You cannot file i485 unless the priority date is current even if i130 is approved. As of january 2015, people with priority date of April 2013 can apply for i485, so wait time is close to 2 years before you can apply for i485.
