AOS denied but don't know why
My wife's AOS application was denied by the Chicago Service Center but
we never received an explanation why. A letter is supposedly in the
mail but we haven't received it-we found out about the denial b/c our
EAD was denied. I think the reason is abandonment since we have moved
3 times in 3 years since our application and INS probably never
updated. We are happily married for over 3 years and have a 1 year old
son--isn't that reason enough to grant my wife residency and
permission to work?
Is our best action
1) to refile the AOS esp. if we want an EAD ASAP
2) file a motion to reopen
3) hire an immigratyion lawyer for $1,00 (which we can barely afford)
I have already contacted my Congressman and Senator but I don't know
how much they can or will do. Thanks in advance.

You're probably correct. They presumably sent the interview notice to the
address on her application, and when you didn't show up for the interview,
they assumed the application was abandoned.
What did your congressperson recommend you do? I think you'll have to start
the application over again.
