Hi there, I had my lawyers appointment on last thursday and at that point he said he will do some more research and find out what to do next. Well, he called me today and told me that since my I 751 has been declined I am out of status as of now and I WOULD HAVE TO FILE I485 AGAIN ???

I dont get that at all. How is that even possible that I refile the I 485 again, and if I do that than what will be my status for Citizenship ? Will I still be able to file it at the end of my 3rd year (which is end of this year) or this all starts again ?

I am so confuse right now that I have no idea what to do.

Can't you just file for appeal?

If I were you I would make an INFOPASS appointment and ask immigration officer about your situation. Also I would try to talk to another lawyer.

Just submit a new 751 with the file fee and all the proof you can find. They are rejecting because you didn't pay, not because of your marriage. Lawyers are suckers and all they want is to take money out of your pockets. I did my 485 and 751 without a lawyer and all went fine. That's what I would do in my opinion. Do what you think it is best.

Be careful, I would say better get an Infopass, I don't know but it might be that your lawyer just wants to get some more money from you. Talk to an immigration officer before filing an I-485 again, you might be wasting money and time there.

I would talk to a different lawyer. What he is saying COULD be true, I suppose, but " this petition is improperly filed and must be filed according to its instructions." sounds to me like all you need to do is refile.

Ask a different lawyer.
