To make a long story short, I sponsored my husband under the LIFE Act (I-245). My husband received his EAD and SS with no problem. His work permit was renewed for 5 years. Husband was deported back to Honduras in Oct of 2006. He was told that he was not eligible for any type of relief because he had been removed from the US back in 94 (ordered in absentia). When we went to the first lawyer we were very truthful about everything. My husband attended all of his biometric appts and was fingerprinted etc and was getting EAD renewed with NO problem. We currently have a differnt lawyer that basically told us the first lawyer was incorrect. We are filing our 1-212 and I-601 through the embassy in Honduras. The NVC has received all the paperwork that they asked for but are just waiting an interview date. I guess I have 2 questions: 1. What was the purpose of biometrics if they really serve no purpose, I was under the impression that the reason for biometrics is to see your background (Felon, previously been removed, etc.). And 2. Has anyone filed through Honduras with waivers and what was the outcome? Were the people friendly? I am just baffled by this whole experience, there are children involved along with other things that have been submitted in the waiver.
