I think you need to find a hobby, something that would grab your attention enough so that you don't have to play snitch and trying to occupy yourself with issues that are none of your business.
If you don't want this person in your house ask them to leave. It's that simple.

Keep us updated on the case, ya?
P.S.: Her lawyer's thinking $$$.

In my not so humble opinion, her chance to "win" her case is 0%. She simply has no basis to adjust, the law spells this out explicitly. Thus, even if the judge is super sympathetic to her, I don't see what choice he or she had in not ordering her deported. The very best she can hope for is VD, and if the judge feels that she might want to stay, which she actually wants, a deportation order is actually more likely.
So while there's nothing to win, but so much to lose, I cannot think of any reason to wait this out. She should just ask her attorney on what legal grounds he or she feels she has a chance to remain in the US. I would love to hear the answer to this.

I read all of the previous responses and are . . . uhhh . . . surprised.
As a former K-1, your friend has no way to adjust status to resident, not even based on VAWA. Thus, and given the fact that she is in deportation proceedings, VD is the smartest thing to do. This can be done at the immigration hearing by asking the judge for permission to depart voluntarily, or by simply departing, and then by having the attorney provide evidence to this fact to the court at or before the hearing.
After she left, it is unlikely that the court would order her deported in absentia. No deportation, no bar, no I-212 waiver needed. If she overstayed, and given the 90-day validity of her initial I-90 and the second marriage it's almost a given that she overstayed for at least 180 days, she'd still have triggered the 3 or even 10-year bar, so an I-601 waiver would be needed.
Does she qualify for EAD? Of course not. Right now she is just waiting for a judge to sign her deportation order and have her escorted in handcuffs to first an detainment center, then the airport. She does not qualify for anything, and after reading the O.P.'s post I'm not sure she understands this to the fullest.

I see no harm including a DVD or a link to YouTube.

A great opportunity for him to quit smoking, save money, and improve his health, all in one strike!

Agreed about making another Infopass appointment. Keep trying at all hours and times. Select all options that are available to find one with a slot open. The woman who wouldn't help you was being ridiculous. Take your proof of travel plane tickets, take the invitation, take the welcome letter and tell her that while the green card has supposedly been ordered, it has not arrived and you are about to miss your brother's wedding as well as lose the money for the tickets that you were told to buy by someone acting on behalf of USCIS. If the person says that this is not possible and you have to wait, ask to speak to her supervisor. Be polite but be firm. You are an approved permanent resident and legally you are supposed to have proof of your status in your possession at all time. You are asking for that proof - the I-551 stamp in your passport. It doesn't need to be for a full year - it can be for 3 months or 6 months or whatever. You are doing your best to comply with US regulations, have imminent need to travel and can prove it, and request proof of your legal status.
Time is short but you may also wish to approach your Senator or Congressman and ask for their help. They have staff who work on immigration levels and sometimes in cases like this they can pull the necessary strings to get done what should have been done without this hassle.
Hopefully, your actual green card will arrive in time regardless of what else you get done.
Good luck.

You must get back there on an Infopass, as you can't come back to US if you don't have at least a stamp in your passport.
That lady that you initially spoke to lives on a different planet.
Sorry for what you are going through!

A lawyer is not cheap. If you add all the AOS filing fees, the medical and the lawyer's fees - you might have to have ready around $4,500 minimum. Do you really have that money?
Also, a lawyer can not change the fact that you overstayed on VWP.
This is a great website where you can learn how to file everything correctly and completely. Ask as many questions you may have and believe me, you will get the answers.
Think about it.

I think you've got the right plan.
If USCIS decided to deport you then you wouldn't receive any notice. This is because there is no removal process for you - you waived that when you used the VWP. You would go straight to deportation, which means ICE would take you into custody, interview you once to determine if you want to apply for asylum or refugee status (they have to offer this to everyone before deportation), and then put you on a plane back to your last country of residence.
It's not surprising that you're getting mixed opinions from different attorneys. You'd get varied opinions with any immigration matter, but this one is particularly confusing for attorneys because it's a drastic change from what USCIS used to do, and the policy changes from one field office to another. I would be stunned if going to a different field office now would change anything. You've already been denied once. There's no way another field office would not consider another petition to be a form of appeal.
Like you, I am also expecting a national policy directive to be issued by the director of USCIS. However, I seriously doubt it's going to reverse what the San Diego field office has been doing. If anything, I think it's going to establish that ALL field offices will have to deny AOS for VWP overstays. There have been seven district appeals courts that have agreed with this policy, and not a single one that has disagreed. Even if a case made it to the Supreme Court I doubt they'd reverse the opinions of seven district courts.

Take your time when you look at houses. Don't worry, the right one WILL come along, you don;t have to rush into the first one you see!It took us 3 months to find something that we liked and we placed several offers on different houses and obviously we "lost" several times. But the one we found after all these "failures" made up for all the frustration we went through.
I would say stay away from short sales and foreclosures, buying those are always a huge hassle!

It's easy to recognize: if you find yourself in handcuffs, spending a few nights in a cold prison cell with a free standing toilet and then get pushed into a white van and driven to the airport, where you get escorted to the plane before they take off the handcuffs, you have been deported. Don't worry about letters . . .

Oh, get rid of that lawyer immediately!!!!! It just reminds me of another one who used to work mostly with Romanians and messed up everybody's paperwork because of his fraudulent activities and he was also running astronomical rates. Have you ever wondered WHY does he "prefer" Moldovians and why is he so expensive? Sharing the same citizenship, requesting a high rate and offering that crappy advice highlighted above will never guarantee success in your immigration process.
Time to shop for another lawyer if you are still considering hiring one and don't forget honesty is the best card that you should not give up in this game ever. Good luck!

Awesome!!!Obviously I didn't know that. Well, you are a lucky one then as you don;t have to go through removing conditions just like most of us has to.

I vote for CR-1 route too.

Lisa - just my 2 cents...
I know you are very nervous about your interview and if I were you I would feel the same.
Don't focus on negative stuff as AOS denials. There are many examples on this forum and it's not hard to find them, but why reading them? stay positive, or think about something else even if it's quite difficult to. Otherwise the remaining days until interview will be very miserable.
I wish you good luck and I will keep my fingers crossed for you!!

Or, you save yourself the $450.00 that it costs to change the name on a card that lives in a dark place somewhere in a drawer, file cabinet, or safe, and change your name when you become a US citizen, free of charge.

Ok, if you had overstayed less than 180 days then I would have recommended you leave the country, wait for your fiance to get his citizenship, and then go for a K1 visa. Unfortunately, you've already overstayed long enough to trigger a 3 year bar when you leave. The odds against you successfully adjusting status in the New York federal district are not nearly as bad as the odds of you successfully getting a hardship waiver approved to overcome the ban.
So here is your current situation...
If you leave the country, you face the ban. If you stay and wait for your fiance to become a US citizen, get married, move to New York, and file for adjustment of status, then you will either be approved or denied. If you're approved, then you've won - you get a green card. If you're denied then you still face the three year ban when you leave. If the denial comes with a summary order of removal (pretty good chance) then an additional ban of 5 or 10 years will be added. The bans are concurrent - not consecutive - but you'd need two different waivers to overcome them. The proof of hardship is the same for both. Frankly, the length of the ban is not really important. If your husband can prove the hardship to their satisfaction than the bans will be waived, regardless how long they are. If he can't, then you lose. You won't be getting a visa until you sit out the bans.
So, this is a game of Russian roulette. You need to weigh your chances of being approved. Let's look at that...
You've already overstayed. That's a strike, but not a serious one. You entered on the VWP, which currently looks to be an automatic denial in New Jersey but not so in New York. If you just provide a New York address then you'll probably be caught. When they look at your address history they will almost certainly suspect you gave a New York address because you knew that you'd be denied in New Jersey. I think you'd have to actually move to New York, and live there long enough to become residents under New York law in order to more or less ensure that your case will be sent to a New York field office.
As Boiler stated, the situation for VWP overstays is very fluid. A policy directive from the director of USCIS could literally come any day, and the situation in New York, as well as the rest of the country, could change dramatically.
My guess is that you've got a six shot revolver, and half the chambers are loaded. If you leave and later apply for a visa then I'd think that would fill a couple more chambers. If I were in your shoes I'd wait for my fiance to get his citizenship, move to New York and live there long enough to become residents of the state, get married, and then submit the AOS application.

Each school will have their own pre-course requirements, so you have to contact them, best to sit down with an advisor. And most have you take a pre-enterance exam which gets scored, usually has topics such as math, science english.
Many take their pre-req classes at community colleges (check to see if they transfer!!) as the classes cost less. But check with each school!
Some people start off as techs, nurse assistants to see if they like the atmosphere. As well one can volunteer at many hospitals as guides, etc and if you ask the right people, too easy to shadow a nurse for a bit.

Yes, I'm saying she won't even get an interview. Presuming her class of admission was humanitarian parole, which I strongly suspect it was, then the AOS cannot even be considered. It must be denied, and she must face removal.
The immigration law is loaded with contradictions, but there doesn't seem to be any contradiction here. With all due respect for Ms. Kenney's excellent analysis of the interim rule of May 12, 2006, it doesn't indicate what you seem to hope it indicates. For readers who are following along, Ms. Kenney's analysis can be found here:
http://www.legalactioncenter.org/sites/default/files/ar_alien.pdf
The interim rule, and Ms. Kenney's analysis, has to do with the prior statutory bar to arriving aliens (including parolees) who applied for adjustment of status while they were in removal proceedings. The interim rule removed that statutory bar, allowing aliens in removal proceedings to adjust status under certain conditions. What the interim rule did NOT do is change the conditions of 8 CFR 212.5(d). Your wife was not paroled under any of the narrow exceptions to the exclusions described in 212.5(d), nor was she paroled specifically to adjust status under INA 245(a).
Look, we're all just armchair quarterbacks watching your game from the sidelines. None of us are immigration attorneys. One thing is certain - you're not going to win this battle by arguing about it on an internet forum. My opinion, for what it's worth, is that an AOS petition in your wife's case is destined to fail spectacularly, and probably even result in her apprehension and deportation. At that point, you can pretty much forget any chance of ever having the lifetime ban overturned. If I were in your shoes then this wouldn't bother me much because I happen to love Mexican food.
But I strongly suggest you do not take my word for it, nor take any further action on your own. Consult with no less than half a dozen very good immigration attorneys. I predict half of them will tell you that it looks like a tough case but they believe they might be able to win, and then quote you an exorbitant fee. The other half will tell you the truth.

Upon review, this thread is filled with dishonesty and fraud . As its continuance provides no value for Visa Journey, and as the OP - whoever he or she may be - has received the requested information a number of times over - I am closing this thread. It appears that the OP has committed visa fraud and is seeking advice on how to commit further visa fraud, which is a violation of the Terms of Service for this site.
