回复：130 FILE了APPEAL，不过选择的是BRIEF稍后发；那么485呢？

you should file brief for I-130 appeal ASAP, otherwise the CIS cannot refer the appeal to BIA if you indicated in EOIR-29 that a separate brief will be filed. In any event the brief shall no more than 30 days from the date you filed appeal.Regarding I-485 motion, essentially they are useless b/c if your I-130 appeal is dismissed, your I-290B will be denied also. If your I-130 appeal is sustained, the CIS will automatically reopen your I-485 case. The only good things i can think of is that you MAY renew your EAD while I-290B is pending. Motion to reopen is about new evidence, motion to reconsider is that the CIS made legal error, but you can call it "Motion Reopen/Reconsider".
