Bizarre turn of events, I hope some is inspired and encouraged by this!

So I filed a motion to re open and reconsider with the USCIS office that denied me based on my misrepresenting my self as a USC. Te motion was file by Alex and Pinnix in Raleigh NC. They were affordable and thorough. We prepare affidavits from me, my siblings and my mother. Both my parents are citizens but I could not prove when my father became citizen or if he ha listed me as his child.

Anyway, we submitted the motion to reconsider/reopen on July 20th. New evidence was not available as I still did not have prove of my father's US citizenship. Our strategy was to use the new Prosecutorial Discretion that was recently passed when ever I appeared before a judge. I obtained character letters form my community, friends, relatives and even had my 11 year old write to whom it may concern, that my removal would cause her extreme hardship.

On August 30th which was also my birthday, I received a text message saying my green card had been mailed!!! Just like that! I was confused because the motion had not even been granted.

A couple days later I received a letter saying motion had been granted! Then a day after that a letter saying Welcome to the United States! On Sept 7th, I received my green card!

I wish I could explain it but I cant!

I just thank God!

I have decided to go back to school and become an immigration lawyer! I would love to help folks in my situation and give them the opportunity at a better life.

A SS Card does not make you a citizen. This is not going to help.

Did the system fail the OP or did her family fail her? I don't see how the family failing to do things properly constitutes an Epic Failure of the US Immigration System (I'm not saying it's not flawe

There is an exception to INA 212(a)(6)(C )(ii). If both of your parents are US citizens, and you've been in the US since before you were 16 years old, and you honestly believed you were a US citizen when you made the claim, then the inadmissibility doesn't apply.

Get a good lawyer immediately, gather your evidence, and submit the motion to reopen before the 30 days has expired. You may think you can't afford a lawyer, but you can afford deportation even less.

Exactly what I heard.

They tried to deport my father but because my grandparents became citizens before he was 16 he automatically became a citizen as well. Is this the case with your family? If so they messed up.

Congratulations! It is always nice when a story like yours has a happy ending :yes: .

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
