  1. He received an official decision letter that ordered us to mail in his green card, which we did. Now, do we still need to do the I-407? Our lawyer said that it wasn't necessary.
  2. Hello again everyone Thanks for all the stellar support from this community. You can check my last few posts if further details are needed, but my husband recently lost his permanent residency status, so we are restarting the IR1 process. Would it be ok to talk about our previous immigration journey in our support letters? A lawyer told me that when a case is closed out, they won't hold it against you for a new benefit application. I think talking about life when my husband was last here is an important part of our case, but I don't want to raise questions where they may not have been risen if I don't talk about it.
  3. You will be ok! They will automatically send it to Nairobi. Best of luck!
  4. Lol, if you know anything about Kenya, then you know something about Uganda, and that means you should understand how the agents at the door won't allow you to even enter the airport if you don't have the documents they "think" you should have. So that's how he was barred entry from Entebbe. He presented a ticket to the US. They asked to see his documents. When they saw the expired GC, they didn't even allow him to show his extension letter. My husband attempted a 2nd time. That time, the doorman allowed him in, but the extension letter had expired, so at the check in counter they told him he couldn't board. Being that this was an actual airline agent, we took that to be official word. I had literally just birthed our 2nd child and was in no position to be researching things. So that's how that went down. During the height of COVID, Uganda was in the middle of the world's longest lockdown, and I can assure you, unless you were a diplomat, you weren't getting a flight out of Uganda. I haven't seen this other poster. Do you know their user name or post title? I'd very much like to read it. So are you saying that if we get him to Canada, he can definitely enter and not be detained on the spot? We are doing all we can to avoid any detainment.
  5. I know my husband well enough to know that he wouldn't be willing to risk detention in a 3rd country. We will go the route of the SB1. Thanks to everyone who chimed in. I very much appreciate all of your points.
  6. I very much appreciate all of this. His A Number didn't come up on that system check. My plan is to submit the SB1 in hopes of getting the DS117.
  7. Because a new event....denial of I175, has happened. And because he was already barred entry at the Entebbe airport in Uganda due to expired green card, so coming by land seems out of the question. My reasonable options seem to be redo the entire process or apply for SB1/DS117. I'm unsure if SB1 is applicable if we got denial for i175. Trying to get the clear way forward.
  8. Correct, he did not attend the biometrics. Several (probably 6) appointments were rescheduled.
  9. Oh dear, wait. So then does this mean he IS still and LPR and we could try for the SB1, DS117? I just am at the point that I want to submit whatever needs to be submitted, to get whatever process needs to happen going.
  10. Yes, they are our children. I was pregnant with our youngest when this all happened. We lived together in UG for 3yrs, then in US for 1.5 yrs. Never intended for this separation to happen. We planned to do the SB1 Visa, but I've been on a waitlist for legal aid for a while, poor judgment on my part, so haven't submitted the paperwork yet. But in some ways, I'm glad to get this, because it answers the question I've been waiting to ask, which is if the SB1 would even be approved. Now I know, it would have been a waste of resources. I think the time has been too long for them to have considered it.
  11. Ah, ok. That is very helpful information. So we must wait for that document before we apply again. Do you know the chances of success for IR1 if this situation we are in has happened?
  12. It will be 3 years in February 2023. I am traveling there with the kids and my mom in March of 2023.
  13. Do you mean even if his green card or status is revoked that we can not start the entire process again? From petition? Thank you for the clarification.
  14. Aren't they the same? Adjusting status to permanent resident from conditional, by way of removal of conditions?
  15. This is what I received: "On December 15, 2022, we denied your Form I751, PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS ON RESIDENCE."
  16. Hello everyone. 1st off, I'm very grateful for the support and sharing of knowledge in this community. I won't get into details, but if you want them, you can look through my old posts. My husband applied for AOS in 2019, and we took a trip back to his country to spend Xmass with his family. COVID broke out, blah blah blah, he ended up staying out for too long. We were going to apply for the DS117 visa, but before I got to it, I got an AOS Denial letter. All that being said, can we apply for IR-1 Visa now? Are there any extra steps we need to take, like him turning in his expired GC? What do the chances of an approval for an IR1 after AOS denial look like? Thanks in advance.
