What was the reason for denial of your I-485, application for adjustment of status? Depending on the reason and whether you are currently in removal (deportation) proceedings, you might be able to reapply again. I suggest, you consult a lawyer before you do, so you don't waste your money and time.

You are always eligible to start a new filing to obtain your greencard through marriage to a U.S. citizen if you came to the U.S. on a tourist Visa, but depending on the reason for your denial it may or may not be appropriate to do so...depending on the circumstances sometimes filing an appeal, motion to re-open, or motion to reconsider (you have a specific timeframe in which to file these though) may be appropriate. Alternative, if the reason for the denial is something that can easily be corrected by you, it would be prudent to do so before filing. I would be happy to discuss your matter and options for proceeding forward. Please contact my office at 215_242_3830 to schedule a consultation with our immigration attorney, Adam DeJohn, Esq.
