We just received the letter today from USCIS stating that my step-son had been denied his AOS due to age out. We filed the I-485 in December, 2008, and had the interview on June 5th 2009. His mother was approved the next week, but we received no response on her son until today. They are saying he has 30 days to leave the country and there is no appeal. We had been told previously, both here in Milwaukee, and at the National 800# that there was no age out risk, since the I-485 was filed prior to his 21st birthday. I know others have been through this. I had previously bookmarked the article on ageout: http://www.asianjournal.com/pdf/PDF/2008_N...Y_sec2p%206.pdf I have sent this article together with the USCIS correspondence and the I-485 to a general purpose lawyer at Pre-Paid Legal. Any further suggestions, or experiences to share?
