I-130 APPROVED,Status changed to IR6,really confused

[mo-mo 0]

hi everyone

came into the country on a k3 visa 3yrs ago,but problems with previous marriage made it impossible to adjust my status and i had to move on(long story)

met another woman while still in states and got married,refiled I130 with new wife and at 1st interview it was denied cos of previous I130 but we appealed and more evidence was sent then they approved the I130 actually the immigrations officer called to tell me that he just could not bring himself to deny the application moreso with all the documents we submitted.

then 3 days later I get an approval notice in mail.with my status changed to IR6 but 2 days after that I get another letter asking me to come to the immigrations court titled notice of hearing in removal proceedings but it was all based on me being out of status(reasons given) not on the previous marriage(i.e was not accused of marital fraud)

went to see a lawyer and he said I should also file I129F for the judge might ask me to leave and since the I130 has been approved the I129F will make it faster for me to get back into the country(according to the lawyer)

I was thinking,is the I129F not filed to speed up the I130 and if my I130 has been approved why do I have to file I129F

also,since my status has been changed to IR6 and I got the approval letter,what happens next?

Thanks for all responses

There is no point in filing an I-129F for spouse after the I-130 is approved. I'm surprised your attorney doesn't know the I-129F would be denied, as it cannot be approved unless there is an I-130 still pending.

thanks a great deal.but what does the IR6 status mean and does that mean that I have a card in printing?

Yes, that's what it should mean but a judge trumps a card. You'll have to play out the hand and see where it goes. IR6 is the status of an approved spouse adjusting status from inside the USA in a marriage past its two-year anniversary.

My best guess is your current IR6 status is good and the deportation issue relates to the previous case. Ultimately, I think you're fine but that's just an opinion based on the limited facts available.

now a new dimension that requires me to ask a very important question

saw my lawyer last week and he said I could go to court without him and ask for an adjournment in order to get a lawyer.

he said the judge will give me btw 3 and 6 months but to me this really sounds very confusing.I believe the case would go on even if I dont have an attorney present

what you think?

please help

This is a 'stalling tactic' by the attorney. Most of the time, it works. Sometimes, though, the judge will push through to a decision that day, without waiting for the lawyer.

Good Luck !
