Denied due to Step Child

[Leatherneck 693]

If I point a loaded gun at my brother's head I remain unconvinced that I would actually pull the trigger BUT I still would never do it because there is always a slim chance that something could happen causing the gun to accidentally discharge and my brother would still be just as shot (and possibly dead) as if I had intended to shoot him.

Likewise, knowing that I don't have a chance of winning because the INA clearly states I'm not eligible for a Visa with the chosen petitioner I would never do anything foolish that might cause my brother harm.

Correct...considering the OP still has options available to immigrate that would be even faster than getting back in line under any "F" preference categories and without possibly waking the sleeping giant of USCIS.

Just as a car thief is not entitled to keep a stolen car because the owner screwd up and left the keys on the dash... an alien (now probably a citizen) is not entitled to the benefits of immigration due to a mistake made by USEM & USCIS.

The alien/citizen is probably not likely to suffer from a review of a case that old, but hey...we are talking about government and bureaucrats here, so I wouldn't bet on them doing something unbelievable.

Question guyz, my dad told me he also petition us way back 1998, however,, i haven't received any notice or case number on this. Does it mean because I have a pending petition from my step mom from 1996. This can also be a alternative solution to my denied visa. Hopefully the petition is still alive. F1-B PD is Feb 1997. If he filed 1998 there is a great chance to have an appointment next year. Though start all over again... aarrgghhh!

The question of your father petitioning you was posed more than once, which is a better approach.

You got a denial based on the petition submitted by your mom in 1996, so it is no longer pending.

Any proof of the petition by yoiur father? That would be a good start to following up on it. Any forthcoming
