Denial of family based petition - Few questions
have filed I-130 for my mother-in-law (not knowing that I cant file when I submitted) for which I received a denial letter from USCIS today for the same reason that relationship was not established. But when we went for interview, the Interview officer understood the problem and asking my wife to refill the I-130 form as my wife was also with me during the interview process. She did verify her citizenship status and all other original documents. In fact she did print the form and gave it to us. After receiving the refilled application, the IO told us that she cant approve this and she has to get it from her supervisor. Here are my questions.
1.Since my wife filled the I-130 form, how can USCIS deny our petition?
2.Can I seek the help of a lawyer in this regard?
3.When can my wife refile for her mothers GC once again?
If anybody has any valuable suggestions, please respond at the earliest.
A1: Jumping the gun here. Your wifes I-130 for her mother has not been denied yet.
A2: Help with what? The first I-130 was correctly denied. You got a compassionate officer who instead of sending you home, got your wife to file an fresh I-130. Now wait it out.
A3: I see no reason for your wifes first I-130 beign denied. Wait it out.

Since my wifes I-130 was filled at the time of interview, would they consider it as a fresh application?
It will be considered a fresh application since the sponsor is different. I have a feeling the officer was not senior enough to approve an I-130 and thus it requires her supervisor to approve it.
