Hey Boaz, thank you for your words. Are you from Cameroon also?

Envy me, thank you so much for your encouragement, I have really high hopes about this.

Hi, i have a case like yours. I don't understand how you can file AOS without having the i130 approve. My case was forward to the local office to schedule a date for the i130 interview but i was told by my lawyer there is a possibility i can get arrested at the interview since i did not leave voluntarily. I also have a son and i am a college graduate with 2 degrees, am so worried of losing my family.

Hey CARIBBEANGIRL04,

Why dont you PM me or send me an email so we can talk and exchange ideas. In my case also there is a possibility I can get arrested, but my attorney and many others people already have a plan in place just in case. Get a hold of me so we can chat. But always remember this, doesnt matter what anything is possible through God. Looking forward to hear from you.

Hello guys,

I have an interview for my I-485 on January 2009 with an IO, I was granted VD back in 2002, appeal dimissed by the BIA in 2004. My previous lawyer filed for I-130,I-485,I-601, and I-765 in August 2008 (Now after reading, researching and talking to people who knows more about immigration laws I found out that it was a big mistake to file all of them together, specialy the I-601). I had my bio done, it's over 90 days now I still havent got EAD. The date of my I-130 havent change online since the first time I saw it, now over 4 months. Also I have a motion to reopen pending with the BIA since December 1st filed last month by my new lawyer. What are my options? What should I do? Is it possible to have an I-485 interview with an IO while in removal procedings? Without the I-130 approve? If need of any clarifications, please feel free to ask me. Thank you in advance for all inputs.

Thank you so much link09.

Hey Boaz, thank you for your words. Are you from Cameroon also?

Hey Keweul,

Thank you so much. Yes I will be honest with them, nothing to hide. I just hope the person interviewing me got a good heart. My living child is the light of my life. Also I have a college degree. And you are so right, anything is possible with God. I just hear so many things, like when you are not supposed to be here, you could be arrested at the interview, but I also hear that if the interviewer is nice he or she might not bring anything up and just approve you.I see that you have the france flag, that's where you are from? Again thank you.

Hey Keweul,

O no I got marry because love. Two kids are the fruit of that love. Even thought one passed away on July 22nd 2006 and we got marry on August 5th 2006 while still grieving. We were planing to get marry before the birth, but his death came first. Again thanks for your inputs.

Hey Alexpapa,

Thank so much for writing, yes I have an attorney who's going to the interview with me. Again thanks.

Dear carmie and aldo thank you for your inputs, Yes that's what it mean. But yet I hear they are waivers, appeals, motions... that could help fix the voluntary departure. Again thanks for your inputs.

Hi Keweul,

Thank you for your reply and questions. I got married after I was granted voluntary departure. I was granted voluntary departure because my asylum was denied. Please let me know if any other question. Again thank you.

Hello friends,

I was granted voluntary departure but never left. Now I have an appointment for my AOS based on my marriage. I hear so many differents stories and laws... Please any helps and sugestions are welcome. Also feel free to ask me any questions if you need to know more about my situation.Thank you in advance.

Spookyturtle and Payxibka,

Thank you so much, It was a blessing for me and everybody in this forum to have people like you. Please if you get new informations you think might help me, do not hesitate to share them with. Again thank you and may God bless you.

Thank you payxibka,

I just dont know what to do or where to turn. This is the third lawyer who screw me over with in between many other attorney I met just for consultation, so you can guess how much money I spend already in this process, but yet I still illegal in this country with a wife, two sons, a college degree.... Again thank you.

Thank you so much spookyturtle,

I was granted voluntary departure by IJ after my asylum was denied. So i have a final order of deportation against me. Does those informations change my illegal presence in the USA? If you dont mind emailing me at sergebabo1@yahoo.com I will send you the summary of my biography so you could understand my situation better. Again thank you so much.

Hey ARodrigues

Thank you again. Do you have Laurel Scoot contact information? Yes the lawyer thought it was a good idea to file the I-130, I-485, I-601 and I-765 all at once. I was event told that it was the wrong way to go, that a motion to reopen was the best way to go for me. Yes my timeline is so mess up, i just want this over. Thank you so much, it means the world to me for you giving me your inputs.

Hey ARodrigues,

Thank you for your question. Yes my I-485 is pending for the same period of time because i filed all of them together. I rescheduled my bionetrics appointment for the I-485 and I-765 many times because i was told i can be arrested and deported if i go to it. Yes i have an attorney who told me to look for another one who deal with deportation case and stuuf...I'm so lost. Please let me know if you have any other questions or advices. Again thank you.

Illegal presence in the USA...

Hello,

I filed the I-601 in the USA a couple months ago in the USA. Does anyone knows what's the time processing for the I-601? What's the percentage rate of the I-601 in the USA? Does anyone ever filed the I-601 in the USA? If so please share your experiences with me. Please tell me anything you know about the filing of the I-601 in the USA. Thank you in advance for your answers.
