Here's some background of my case. I married a U.S. citizen back in January of 2014. I turned 18 in November of 2013 and I have 180 days to leave before my stay here is unlawful. I came here at the age of 2. I have a plane ticket ready to leave May 2. My attorney hasn't been too informative. He filed the i130 and it was received on February 19 and I got the receipt from immigration. How long should I be expecting to stay in Mexico. My form was sent to the Nebraska center. Any opinion on my case will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Did you enter the country legally when you were two, or illegally?

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

If you entered illegally, how is it you only have 180 days left to stay before you are unlawful?.....Haven't you been "unlawful" the entire time here?

You definately need legal advice.

Then don't leave now. Ask your attorney to get current. Why are you not filing the I-601 waiver now, so it can be approved before you leave. This policy change is not exactly brand new.

I have 180 days after my 18th birthday to be held responsible of my illegal stay here since I was brought without me choosing to

That's right. You won't need a waiver if you leave within the 180 days. The spouse visa process will take anywhere between 9 and 12 months under the current timelines. No, there's no need to file an I-129F. It will just die at the National Visa Center when the two petitions arrive together.
