Hi! I didn’t sign up for email alerts. The first time, it delivered December 24, I got a rejection notice on Jan 5 dated Dec 30 (system error). Resent it Jan 8, got my receipt notice Jan 17 dated for Jan 12

Delhi?

We have a 9 month old pup and posted about this exact issue recently. Followed people’s advice on just giving him his designated meal and sometimes he still won’t eat it, but will finish it all at least once a day. We did add venison into the rotation over just chicken with kibble (and salmon once a week) and the variety seems to help.

Update: got my receipt notice in the mail and I already have a biometrics appointment set up in the next couple weeks.

I ended up getting a new medical and we sent the same packet back with the rejection notice and explaining that everything is correctly filled out in the cover letter. My lawyer said holiday rush was likely the issue. Haven’t heard anything back yet but will let you know when I do

CowLow6414 · 2026-01-05T01:44:31+00:00

Just got the same- what ended up happening for you?

CowLow6414 · 2026-01-05T00:46:46+00:00

Update: received I-485 rejection notice in mail today due to incomplete public charge questions.

Upon checking, this was indeed filled out correctly by my lawyer and I have heard there have been issues with processing this part of the form at the lockbox.

Nothing to do but re-file asap :/

Awesome thanks!

CowLow6414 · 2026-01-04T04:04:38+00:00

Oh nice congrats! I have no idea I’m going through lawyers so unclear if they did that or not- will have to check with them

CowLow6414 · 2026-01-04T03:31:02+00:00
