My I-485 status changed from Denied to RFE was received

[Fikky]

On Oct 17 my I got a letter from uscis saying my I-485 was denied and I was given 33 days to appeal because uscis claim I didn’t respond to the RFE I got back in May. My lawyer mailed the requested evidences uscis asked for back in July but uscis claimed they didn’t get it. When I got the denial notice, my lawyer filed a service motion to reopen on Oct 26 without filing form I-290B but included a proof that the response to the RFE was mailed and sign for by the uscis official who received the mail. Two days ago my 1-485 status changed from Case was Denied to Response to USCIS’ Request for Evidence was Received.

Please does this means my I-485 has been reopened or still denied?

Also, my 33days expires on Friday, assuming the case still remains denied despite the status change, can I be able to file a new I-485 without this affecting it.

Your previous 485 is still active, your lawyer has all the proof needed to dismiss any deportation case against you filed by uscis by mistake. Trust in your lawyer. You will be fine.
