You are not eligible to adjustment of status based on being an EWI. Yes, you can file for AOS, but either they will deny the petition outright, or, more likely, you'll be called in for an interview, detained by ICE, and then put into detention and eventually deported. It's basically like stepping on the sleeping lion's tail. The three felonies are just the ice on the cake.

I don't even think you would be eligible if there was a comprehensive immigration reform with a wide-spread amnesty. Basically, you are in a room that's filling slowly with water (the ever-tightening security measures of the federal and the state governments), but no way to call for help. One day the water will reach a level that will make it impossible for you to breath, and that's the final end of the road for you.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

When would you stop lieing? If the scars were enough to get you a green card there are millions waiting in line outside US to enter the country everyone would put scar on themself.

Why were you involved in felonies - did someone try to kill u then too?

Stop fooling around yourself, best for you is to return to your home country and sooner the better.

I am sorry, but none of that matters. You do not have status in the US to adjust from.

Your wife will file the I-130 for you and you will need to return to Jamaica for the interview where you will be denied a visa.

You will be given a ban of 10 years, if not more depending on what these felonies are for, and your wife may submit (hopefully) a waiver outlining how she will suffer extreme hardship if you are not returned to the US. The will adjudicate it and issue you a green card if successful

However, there is no playing to their emotions, they will not want to see your scars and there is nothing they can feel sorry for.

Filing for adjustment of status is a waste of time and money

Good luck

The hardship has to be with the person who is petitioner, since you do not have any children with your wife, I am not sure you can use your 6 kids as the hardship, the hardship has to be directly upon your wife, not your children

Good luck

Also, note the OP's phony timeline with "Texas Service Center" and the "Armenia" consulate. I believe that the OP has received the only advice that he can get.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
