green card matter

my friend's application for green card was denied because of his submitting the wrong form I-963 instead of

the suplemental to I-963.But that form was filled by a doctor of health department and put it in a sealed enverlope.He did not know that form was right or not.

Now,the regulations do not provide for an appeal from this decision.What should he do to let INS grant him the green card ?

Re: green card matter

First of all, you must mean Form I-693. There's no such form as the "I-963" as you stated.

Usually the INS doesn't just deny a case immediately because of submission of the wrong form, but will give the applicant a notice explaining the mistake and what corrective action to take and length of time to do so. My guess is that the INS did that but your friend didn't fix it in time so the case was denied.

If this was the only reason the case was denied, a motion to reconsider needs to be filed with the INS along with the correct form within 30 days of denial.
