So I was approved this week on the spot.Someone asked how did I do it since there were some technicalities with my petition.Well,I did nothing special to have my petition approved.I didn't even have a Lawyer and I filled out all the applications myself.I could say that honesty and patience helped me throughout my journey of trying to become legal,which started about 10 years ago.My father petitioned for me when I was 15 years old.But since he only had Permanent Residency status and was not a citizen,it took years for the I130 to be approved and for a visa number to become available.I got married during the process,without the knowledge that the petition will get revoked due to my change of status.There are no visa category for married children of PR's.So my dads petition got revoked the same year a visa number became available.I was devasted,but I remained resilient and patient.I graduated H.S;went to a community college;got married;graduated;started one semester towards my Bachelor's while I was pregnant;then I became a stay at home mom since my child was born.It wasn't till last year,I was approved for TPS for Haitian Nationals.Im Canadian but both my parents were born in Haiti.I was as well..So I qualified.However,I was denied initially because Im Canadian and I had to prove that I was a Haitian national and that I never left the US..long story.But I appealed with the help of a Lawyer and was approved a whole year after.It wasn't till December 2011 I tasted a bit of freedom for the first time! It felt surreal.I got my first job ever this year.I waited a long time to "start my life." My immigration status held me back tremendously.Well everything happens for a reason and im just thankful that I could now pursue my dreams with nothing in my way.I remember being advised to do a "business marriage" but I was never one to evade the laws.I met my husband 10 years ago and it wasn't till last year he became a citizen and not until this year he petitioned for me.Obviously,I did not marry for a green card.Im all about honesty and patience.And that finally paid off !! 10 years,non-conditional,BABY !!!! Good luck to you all. Be patient ,follow the rules and everything will go great.If you have any questions,feel free to ask
