USCIS requesting citizenship proof of my wife but she is only permanent resident?Help

[KhoiLe]

Hi guys,

It's been 55 days since I filed my I-130 and I-485 (M-1 to Green card) together. My wife is a greencard holder and she is my petitioner.

Edit: We have checked thoroughly the copy of the I-485 that we keep and we are sure that we ticked all the right box for PR petitioner.

Today we received a mail from USCIS asking me, for I-485 application, to provide my wife's citizenship proof. They state that it includes: Birth certificate in US or naturalization paper. But since my wife is only PR, what should we do? Has any one encounter this?

Also, my I-20 is finishing up next year May. I have already submitted both I-130 and I-485 together, would I still be able to process my case?

Thanks a lot

What category does it say on the I-130 receipt (it might be under "section" or "preference classification" or something like that)? Regardless, I think you would respond by truthfully stating that she is a permanent resident, not a citizen, and attaching a copy of her proof of permanent residency.

Thank you for your reply. We have checked and make sure the application copy and the receipt both show that she is a permanent resident. Regardless, I would probably send them a new letter stating the facts. I'm just a bit concern that since we send both application together, there maybe a mistake when they process both together.

Sending them together is correct (since you filed during a month when F2A is current on USCIS AOS filing charts). If there is a mistake it's their mistake.

Send a letter explaining, proof of permanent residency, copy of the receipts and even a copy of the forms where you correctly marked LPR. A table of contents will help too.
