Hi everyone, I have a question , my husband and I just submitted my I-130 online on Friday and will get the AOS mailed by the end of July , last night we had a bit of a run in a neighbor who has threatend to call ICE on , we're now really worried about what will happen if they show up at my house or at the place I do volunteer work as she knows where it is. What happens if ICE show up? Really concerned.😥

I don't have any other advice to offer, just wanted to say that I'm sorry your neighbors are being such jerks.  Fingers crossed that a flock of pigeons with tummy issues fly over their cars.  😉

I would ramp that up and try to get it in ASAP unless you have a required document that you need before submitting.  Beyond that, I would not worry too much.   Good Luck!

Are in status in the US?  If you are out of status, you need to file a proper I-485 asap.

Tell the neighbor to go ahead and call ICE.

When the neighbor informs you of the time ICE is expected to arrive, wait with a jar of lemonade and extra glasses for the "all would be visitors" at the door. Some people are just miserable and they need to be called off at their bluff.

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

On another note, why submit I-130 and the rest separate? You could have done concurrent filing, just FYI. Nonetheless, I do not know your reasons.

Definitely. Is the petitioner a US citizen?

Filing paperwork isn't illegal. So as long as you're in status you shouldn't have anything to worry about. If not, and the petitioner is a USC, file the 485 ASAP.

There are no benefits in waiting.  Worst case scenario is that you are detained and placed into removal proceeding.   Is that likely?  Maybe not, but it is possible. Once a proper I-485 is filed, you will be granted authorized stay until the I-485 is approved or denied.

Great, overstays are forgiven for spouses of USC, so file I485 ASAP and you will have nothing to worry about re. your neighbor.

 

Also, who's to say they will even go through with it anyways... Good luck!
