Hy, I have a problem.

As of right now, my dad petition for us under the I-130, wich is UNMARRIED CHILD UNDER 21 OF PERMANENT RESIDENT.

Since my dad is doing everything using an Imigration attorney, I have question that she wont answer!..

Okay on February 27, 2003 ----- I got my Receipt Notice..
On October 19, 2007 ----------- I got my Approval Notice..

As you can see it took over 4 years to get this approved!!!!!!!!

Okay we live in Texas so, I guess the attorney did everything using the TEXAS SERVICE CENTER, but last October, 4, 2006 to be exact, it got transfered to the CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER!!! okay.

Well my dad wich he now is available to be a US Citizen, went to the attorneys office to pick my sisters and my approval notice, and to pay a fee for my moms permanent resident thingy!! sooo. the attorneys secretary, told my dad, that withing 8 months, we would have to get out of the country and go to the consulate over in Juarez i guess Mexico.... and that max we would have to stay there 3 months to get out interview there so they could give us the visa.. we got so scared, i cried, because I dont want to go to a country [ mexico ] that i have not been there since I was 1 year old, oh by the way in 18! okay.. and i dont want to leave my friends.. sooo. cuz I heard of people that supposely go over to the border for their interview and stay there for years....

sooo my dad all worried called the attorney, she explained to him, that the information that her secretary gave my dad was wrong. and that we did not have to go no where...
becuase.. she said that our interview was going to be in 8 TO 9 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN YOU BEALIVE THAT????

so now im conviced that im not getting nothing???

on my approval notice, it says

THE ABOVE PETITION HAS BEEN APPROVE. THE PETITION INDICATES THAT THE PERSON FOE WHOM YOU ARE PETITIONING IS IN THE UNITED STATES AND WILL APPLY FOR ADJUSMENT OF STATUS. THE EVIDENCE INDICATES THAT SHE IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO FILE AN ADJUSMENT OF STATUS APPLICATION. THIS DETERMINATION IS BASED ON THE INFORMATION SUBMITTED WITH THE PETITION AND ANY RELATING FILES. IF THE PERSON FOR WHOM YOU ARE PETITIONING BEALIVES THAT SHE IS ELIGIBLE FOR ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS, THEN SHE SHOULD CONTACT THE LOCAL INS OFFICE FOR MORE INFORMATION.

BECAUSE THE PERSON FOR WHOM YOU ARE PETITIONING IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO ADJUST, WE HAVE SENT THE APPROVED PETITION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE NATIONAL VISA CENTER,,,,,, NVC PROCESSES ALL APPOVED IMIGRANT VISA WICH CONSULAR POST IS THE APPROPIATE CONSULATE TO COMPLETE VISA PROCESSING. NVC WILL THEN FORWARD THE APPROVED PETITION TO THAT CONSULATE..

so what can I do, since the imigration attorney that has handled all of our case says , that we have to wait for our interview wich is in 8 to 9 years!!!! hello....

please someone explain to me the procces of the i-130 and what can i do... please help.. if my dad becomes a us citizen will it help my case ????

did u enter US illegally? i guess u re, if that was the case u have to go back to ur home country for u to be interviewed, u cannot adjust staus US .
may be someone can shed more light to this

ummm... reading at all the users timelines i get worried....

YES, I ENTERED THE US ILLEGALLY

If you entered the US illegally then you can not adjust status.... not even with an approved I-130... you will have to return to your home country and have the interview there....

I believe they are right, you need to go back to Mexico and do your interview in Cuidad Juarez, Chihuahua. Apparently you do not qualify for the benefit of the 245i, since your father filed for you after April 30, 2001. If they had filed before that date, you would be able to adjust status in the US.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.

If a visa number became available this soon you are lucky as they are proceesing 2As from Mexico Nov 01 from the latest visa bulletin.
And you will have to go back.

after reading this post I simply have to comment.......why would anyone who entered the U.S. illegally EXPECT at ANY point to be able to file some paperwork and be given the same rights as citizens who were born in the country or others who followed the law and its process and were subsequently granted either immigrant status or citizenship. The logical outcome for your actions should be expulsion or PROSECUTION.

karenkaye u re funny, dont be too rigid and mean, people re posting here for help, we just need to give a piece of the one we have

No comment..............

I am not actually a mean person - I just think the law should apply to everyone...not just those of us who don't duck under the fence and run fast.

The girl was one year old...and I do think that people here are asking for help. So if you are not going to offer help or advice your negative comments are not welcomed here. You are NO ONE to be judging people, who do you think you are? I do not think it's right to break the law, BUT, you do not know the individuals circumstances that may force someone to enter illegaly.

And HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

I agree YGandMAT.

Although I agree with karekaye also, this girl was one year old when her father decided to duck. :-)

Anyways... I don't think there's anything you can do tootsieroll. You must wait, and wait, then go back to your country for the interview. Good luck to you!!

Probably an interview followed by a waiver process. You should probably post this in the waivers forum.

ok, well thanx's........ u can delete this thread now..... i guess ill move to spain with my familly over there. J/K

you have been here since you were one. I thnk you need to talk to an attorney

Karenkaye: I couldn't resist posting a reply to your comment. Anyone who enters this country regardless of whether they entered illegally or not still has Freedom of Speech just like you. So when did you become God and decide that people cannot ask questions.

If you don't like their questions, then you have to right to shut the he** up and not respond. However, this is probably asking too much of you because you are so high and mighty and have never been in a jam and needed help. God help you!
