What does it say on the denial letter? Did you file jointly or by
yourself?

I had long wait after filed i751. I received 1 year extension letter
couple months after I filed I-751 and finally got an letter says that
I'm denied and asks to be appear in from the immigration judge on
3/2007. The date and time of the hearing is "to be set". It did not
state any reason for denied, just says that it was denied in 11/2006. I
called and they can't find any info either. However, the immigration
officer on the phone did notice the receipt number that I have on my
denied letter is different from my original i751 application and
extension letter, but the A No. is correct on both documents.

Can someone check if you have the same receipt number all along or they
change the receipt number when they issue the final decision? Filed
jointly i-751. The only thing that I can think of for them to deny me
is the income was on the low end or not enough support documents. The
extension letter and Notice to Appear were sent to the new address that
I updated in 2006 which means USCIS has my current address, however,
when I went to the window in Feb 2007, they said that they don't have
the new address and had me filled out the form again. It's possible
that USCIS might send notices to my old address, and if so, it's their
fault, not mine! I was not able to confirm that they sent additional
notices to me besides these two documents on the phone.

I'd think that they would conduct a 2nd interview or request more
documents before they deny the petition. In my case, I did not receive
any letters in between. As my current status is in removal proceeding.
We are still married, spouse is USC. We've been having problems in our
relationship, and currently living separately. We are on good term and
my spouse is willing to appear at the court w/ me to prove our marriage.

I sent a letter to service center and would file FOIA to request copy
of denial notice. hopfully i'll be able to receive it before the
court date.

Here is timeline:

6/03 married
7/03 filed AOS
8/04 receipt number, interview date notice; A No.
9/04 Interview date; A No.
10/04 I-131; A No.
11/04 received GC (9/04-9/06) Receipt No 1
12/06 filed I-751; Receipt No.2
13/06 Extension 1 yr letter to 6/07 ; Receipt No 2
3/07 Denied letter, court requested; Receipt No. 3 (this supposed
be the same Receipt No as No. 2) ???

Folinsky did not come up when I searched that site. Evidently he's not
an AILA member?

Apparently to be on that list AILA require another hefty fee ...
Some may choose not to do that ....
