Previously Married/Abandoned, now remarried - have EAD, no PR/Green Card

[Jericholake 0]

My ex-husband abandoned me on the day of our initial interview. I just obtained a workpermit from his previous petition. Now divorced. Fell in love and remarried. Please tell me what to do. Should I file a waiver for the previous petition or just go ahead and start a new petition of I 130 and 485? Since I just only have a work permit and no green card.

What sort of visa did you enter the US with?

I obtained work permit through spousal petition. Thank you. Came here as a tourist.

If your ex-husband didn't show up at the interview then your previous I-485 has already been denied. You would have had 30 days to file a petition to have it reopened. I'm presuming you didn't do that. Also, the EAD you obtained from the pending I-485 was canceled when the I-485 was denied. If an employer files an I-9 or uses eVerify to determine if you're eligible to work then it will probably come back negative. The expiration date on your EAD is no longer relevant.

I imagine the waiver you mentioned is the waiver you can file to remove conditions on a conditional green card after divorce. Your green card wasn't approved, so there's no waiver you could file.

Did you enter with a visitor's visa, or did you use the Visa Waiver Program?

What visa did you enter with? Visitor, fiancee or some other?

Or VWP if you had also another citizenship than Albanian? (which is not a VWP country)
