2023Olga2023April05/05/2023 (May)DenialForums Immigration Post 1It seems this denial may not be Early Filing related as claimed by the OP - they are yet to confirm if they fall under the exception list on the VB which may mean they filed before the CN was listed as current on the VB. The denial seems mainly due to INA 245(i)
