Denial of I130

[CanTex 1]

I just received an email of Denial. They said the Notice would explain if we had an options. I came here on a Visitor's Visa and also filed the I485. Is there an Appeal process? Or is this where we need to file a Motion to Re-Open?

Thanks for any help.

Also, anyone know of a good lawyer in Texas?

I just received an email of Denial. They said the Notice would explain if we had an options. I came here on a Visitor's Visa and also filed the I485. You cant do that illegal Is there an Appeal process? No Or is this where we need to file a Motion to Re-Open? It will not help you cant adjust your status off of a tourist visa they will say that was your intent to come and marry to stay here. You was suppose to file the I-130 alone and then go back to your country to wait for an approval.

Thanks for any help.

Also, anyone know of a good lawyer in Texas?

it is only illegal if they came to the US with the intent to adjust status. If the OP came on a tourist visa, not knowing he was going to stay and adjust status before he entered, that is not illegal. The OP needs to come back and give more details of his case

I did not come here to get married. Met, stayed my six months allowed. Married and filed. However, the problem is I will have to repost later as this also falls under AWA. So I'm not sure if this denial is due to the fact that USCIS believes that we do not have a real marriage or if it is denied due to the reply to NOID.

I will let everyone know what the denial says then we can all learn a little more.

Adam Walsh Act that limits the filings for sexual predators

This is statement is soo wrong

Allow me to educate you with some questions

The 2 children at 7 years old caught touching each other: di you consider them sexual predators?

The new 19 year old who's GF was 16; is that person a sexual predator?

Is the drunk college student arrested for public urinating at 2am a sexual predator?

The person arrested for selling drugs a sexual predator?

The person arrested for assaulting no sexually his ex-wife is he a sexual predator?

I can go on but I know you get the drift of how wrong your remark was.

Now the AWA which was created to protect is harming Millions of people or putting them in danger because the real predators hide among the 750K on the registries if they are even registered

Immigration wise the USCIS can only apply what they were given which was no to clearly differintiate the dangerous from the safe petitioners which has caused the hardship of these families...mark my words these type of laws come back and bite the tax payers in the Azz just so the lazy few and the fear mongers can have a false sense of security.

Thousands of legitimate families suffer from this bogus law.

I still believe that determination should be performed by USCIS psychologist if there is one and not by a regular USCIS officer.

This is the second denial read under this forum for the last 2 weeks. If OP reads, which USCIS office is your case at?

When we filed, AOS, EAD & AP, it was sent to Chicago. When we went for biometrics, 2010, it was San Antonio, Tx.

Nothing happened besides the NOID, until this year in April 2013, when we were advised that our case was transferred

to Vermont. So almost 3 years. Then on Monday, July 2013 we got a denial email. Still do not know what the denial

is for tho. AWA or the AOS??? They say it's in the Notice - cannot even hire a lawyer until we know what to tell them the

denial is for And they only give 30 days. So yeah, very stressful - got a lawyer lined up, if we can appeal, but if it is due

to the AOS,no denial appeal right? Just another day in the good old USA. I could go on about our life and all our responsibilites

about work, parents poor health, what we are needed for, etc. But what good is that. Everyone assumes that a Sex Offender

is just that. From morning to nite, just preying on anyone and everyone Gawd, it just kills me that mistakes happen, people

make mistakes and not even against little children that are so precious. But A HUNDRED YEARS FRIGGIN' later we are living

life, have not harmed anyone, and it will definitely take away from the family unit should the visa not be approved. So sad about

all these invisible lines around the world - where we can live - who we can marry and not worry about separating loved ones.

Okay that's my rant

Will let everyone know what the letter says when we get it.

If the petition I-130 and AOS was filed at same time, you will probably get two denials. For what reason, we still do not know. However, if your case was moved from Chicago to Vermont..then it must be an AWA case that was process by Vermont Specialized AWA Team. You are the second case that I have read were Vermont has denied. When an AWA case is denied by Vermont, that really would be scary for the rest of those whose cases are in the field offices.

Cantex, the I-130 and AOS have different Receipt Numbers. Have you check in the Case Status if it was the I-130 or I-485 (AOS)? If none, you would probably get the letter a week or two.
