Awesome! we had our interview on august 19th and because i came on vwp my I-485 is pending , now that's great that they did approve your case that means we still have hope ! yay!!thanks for sharing

It's ok. It was rejected because we posted both packages separately, to the same P.O. Box.

I'm in USA and I'm from Carrasco. Which neighborhood are you from?

i live in Pa since 2002 but im from Pocitos in Uruguay.

are you sending all your forms again??

What I don't understand is why you entered on VWP. Uruguay is not on VWP.

Les deseo lo mejor!!

P.S. I just noticed your name is I'm bolso. Hahaha. Yo también.

Why was your I-485 denied if you dont mind sayin it.

r u in uruguay or usa?

en que barrio de montevideo sos?

i came over on december 2002 by that time uruguay was on the vwp.

vamo el bolso.

Thanks

I had the same problem after my interview. I was told that my interviewer will approve my i-485 but at the moment is some internal thing in immigration going on where the VWP is being changed. Now I am hoping that it has to do with making the Visawaiver paperless. That whole change is suppose to be done by the end of summer. I overstayed for 10 years so we will see. I can let you know in 3 weeks what happened. Immigration has 90 days to inform you about a decision on a case. I look at it this way its been over 2 month and I have not gotten a denial, that must be a good thing

Furthermore I asked a lawyer about the new i-94w law and this is the response

"I posted before my question is what kind of new law is coming out about holders of the i-94w and when is it going into effect. Thank you

The law has not changed, but the agency responsible for admitting travelers at the borders is changing its procedures to eliminate the paper I-94W in favor of electronic records. This process is in effect already now, but the agency has indicated that paper I-94Ws may still be used while the system is being fully implemented."

Hope that will ease your mind a bit.

Good luck

Please let me know as soon as you hear from them, we r pretty much in the same boat!

sisoybolso@hotmail.com thank you

Well i had my interview yesterday and the officer said that they been working on vwp for about 3 months now

thats when her boss told her to start puttin vwp cases on pending.

i asked her how long i had to wait and she said that she could not tell me cause they r workin on it.

i think that we are going to be fine .i overstayed 8 years.

thanks n let us know when you hear something from them i will do the same.

Has anyone on this site been denied because of Visa Waiver Program? I'm freaking out! We applied in June and I had overstayed by a year by then. We did get married a year ago though, before the Visa Waiver Program ended. The lawyers we spoke to said that we could take as long as we needed apply. We had some issues with his taxes so here we are. Is this really happening? Other than one lawyer's blog stating that 50 percent of officer's are doing this (and I assume the lawyer wants to scare us all into paying him), what evidenced is there that this is happening? All this talk is scarring the ####### out of those of us that have applied after Visa Waiver had expired. I mean, I know that there is always a risk with AOS from Visa Waiver, but this goes far beyond just a small chance. I've never heard of anyone that has been denied for this and Canadians seem to do it all the time.

My lawyer was saying that i needed to be with him at the interview cause i could be arrested and deported guess what?

nothing like that,he just wanted more money thats the way it is.

immigration officer told us i wish i could have all your papers approved right now but she said that her boss told her 3 months ago

to put on pending all cases where a visa waiver was involved.(all vwp are being put on pending that's the law she said)

my thoughts to you dont be scared if you marriage is for real the officer would see it and treat you right thats what happened to us

please note our interview was in Philadelphia Pa.

Good Luck and let me know how it goes for you guys!

Gone are the days when the USCIS approved AOS from the Visa Waiver Program especially if the applicant overstayed the 90 days. Thanks to Momeni v. Chertoff, where the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals simply stated that applicants from the VWP who overstayed by 90 days and then applied for AOS, should be denied.

So even if you married a US citizen, Momeni vs Chertoff prevents the USCIS from giving you the greencard.

so whats going to happen ??

Came to the usa same way you did,my vw expired long time ago,married my wife(us citizen)

we sent all paperwork got my interview today august 18th 2010 we got I-130 approved but

I-485 its pending cause i came on visa waiver program and they are trying to change the laws in washington

my thoughts to you, do it now before they change the law. you should've done it way before.

the immigration officer told us that 3 months ago i would've been approved but now my green card is pending i will

recive my work permit and ssn in the mail.

thanks and good luck to you!

It was way after the 90 days btw my wife is the citizen.

thanks!

Thank you guys for your replies but just to be clear my I-485 was not denied it is PENDING, thats exactly what she told us.

she said 3 months ago it was different but now they are changing laws regarding visa waiver program.she approved my I-130 she told me that i am getting my work permit and ssn very shortly.

My visa waiver expired long time ago.

So as today my I-485 is pending and they would let me know as soon as they hear from washington.(that's what she said)

Thanks again!

We went to Phili today to have our interview,the officer was really nice everything went just fine,
