Can anybody give me some advice, or at least reassurance.

Hallowe'en 2006 I entered the US from the UK on a k1 visa and married my now ex-wife. I was granted my conditional permanent residency on 08/01/2007 which expired on 08/01/2009.

My wife and I divorced in July of this year. We have a child together who lives with my ex. I also own a house here.

For whatever reason I never filed my I-751 and I now have a letter saying that I'm being deported. It says I can appeal this during the deportation proceedings.

Has anyone here had a similar experience?

Will the fact that I have a child here and can prove that the relationship was genuine count for anything.

What about the fact I own property?

I'm in Jersey City NJ, if anyone can recommend a reasonable immigration lawyer.

In general, HELP!

Anchor babies don't make things any different. Owning property won't make a difference.

I can't suggest anyone in your local area.

Consult with a qualified, experienced immigration attorney. Someone that has experience in this type of case and that will give you some client references to check.

Thanks for the reply but she's no more an anchor baby than your wife is a mail order bride. She's my daughter.

Having the child means nothing in this situation. Best find a good immigration lawyer and see what can be done now that you've been out of status for so long.

Thank you everyone for your replies.

Any resources for finding a good lawyer?

My ex-wife handled all of my immigration details, I am absolutely useless at filling in forms or dealing with any sort of oficialdom, seriously, it's bordering on an illness.

I suggest you work on your skills if you want to stay here. You will get out of it what you put into it.

You can file the I-751 late, if you explain the tardiness by having a good and plausible reason. If you have money, retain a lawyer; if not, you can do it on your own and check with us regarding the reason before you mail it in. Do not delay, get busy now.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
