I-485 Appeal / Motion Journey

The I-290B motion the Green Card denial launches (entrance i485_appeal__entrance — the cross-journey link resolves). SAME engine. LOOP: USCIS issued a request for evidence that, once answered, re-entered the decision and approved the motion (history preserved). JOIN: 3 of 4 card-production prerequisites converge — the brief still being filed. An affirmed denial launches federal-court review.
