I-485 “Reject After Ingest” Status

Does your USCIS I-485 online case status show “Reject After Ingest?” The word “ingest” (or “ingestion”) may be used here to mean “receipt.” This uncommon case status means that your I-485 was filed (and received or “ingested”) when your priority date was not current. Make sure to check the DOS Visa Bulletin to ensure that your priority date is current before filing!
