Hi there,

I need some help!!!!Please!!

I've been married for almost 2 years and my wife became a citizen this past march/09.On july of 08 we applied for the I-130 while she was still a resident.

This week I sent all my papers to immigration,and as sad as it may sound, i received a letter for a hearing on removal proceedings dated for Sept.

My question is: If I'm married to a citizen a already apllied for my green card can they still deport me??

**I've never been arrested and I entered the US legally ( visitor visa ).

The answer is "Yes."

This is a serious matter - you should immediately get the help of a qualified family-based immigration attorney (there is hope but do not try to do this alone - get qualified legal representation).

Hi bbalbqq,

Like Karin and Otto has said, please get the help of an experienced Family based immigration attorney ASAP. Don't try to do this on your own. Can you please

fill in your timeline My Assistant > Edit / Add my Timeline so that other VJers can know about your situation.

Yes, you can be deported even if you are married to USC but don't follow the rules or don't apply on the right time with right documents etc or if you have GC but

do a major crime and are charged guilty for it.

Good Luck

Sorry to hear that. You see, you are the architect of your own misfortune. Your wife cannot file I-130 for you while you are in the state illegally (you are inadmissible, and you cant adjust your status while you leave in the US. It's a different ball game if you had waited for your wife to become a citizen before you filed I-130. A green card holder can file I-130 for his/her spouse that leave or reside abroad not a spouse that is an illegal alien. You are 'deportable' based on the paper you filed prior to your wife becoming a USC.

Like you said, you have never been arrested; but you committed an offense by over-staying your visitors visa ( an offense that will trigger DEPORTATION from the US. The 'only time' you can adjust your status or seek benefits from the USCIS without the fear of deportation is when you are married to a UNITED STATE CITIZEN (your wife was not a citizen when you seek or when your wife petitioned for you as an alien relative).

my thoughts for you IS: Run to a GOOD immigration lawyer that can fight this battle for you. You CAN NOT confront USCIS all by yourself at this time and win. I wish best of luck, and God bless you.

At least consult with a lawyer, usually you can get some sort of free consultation. If your AOS is pending and your spouse is now a USC, then you might have a case for not being deported. But, best to see a lawyer and see what he/she can tell you.
