I-485 Rejected and B-2 Expiring

Question details

My wife's I-485 got rejected because of priority date not current. My application was delivered early by FedEx(Sep 29). Her priority date is Sep 2014 so as per Oct 2015 guidelines I believe she has the eligibility to apply.
Can I re-apply same documents, and also do I need to apply for her Visa extension too because it will expire in 1 week from now. Will she be considered in status with her I-485 receipt number and in process of re submission?

An untimely filing based denial does not invalidate the documents, and, a pending 485 keeps her in authorized period of stay. Nevertheless, I advise people to keep their status (like H-1, H-4) current, anyway. By the way, a B-2 to AOS application is FULL of potential problems. Make sure you consult a lawyer.

Comment

We have applied our I-140 and 485 petitions through Rajiv's law office. We received our GC approvals the other day.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr.Rajiv Khanna and his team.

My Special thanks to Mathew Chacko, Prerna Mehta and Suman Bhasin for their help and attention with all of our GC related matters.

Since day1 we have received exceptional service. Their staff is easily approachable.

I would also like to thank Rajiv Khanna for the great service he provides for the immigrant community through his Live chats.

The attorney fees are reasonable for the valuable service they provide compared to other noted firms.

Looking forward to recommend your law firm to my friends and family.
