USCIS commonly returns (often described as “rejects” at intake) Form I-485 filings for paperwork issues such as missing signatures, outdated form editions, incorrect fees, missing pages, or inconsistent information across related forms. This page explains common administrative return triggers and what to double-check before resubmitting—without legal advice.
