Letter of Termination of Conditional Resident Status HELP!

[Kellie 0]

I received out of the blue today, a Termination of Conditional Resident Status letter stating that basically I am being deported. The letter states the following:

A review of the records of the Immigration and Naturalization Service reveals that you were admitted to the US as a conditional permanent resident on 8/22/2004.

In accordance with the provisions of Section 216c of the Immigration and Nationality Act you and your spouse through whom you obtained your conditional ....etc etc etc..

I was out of the country of the US when my residency expired on 8/22/06, being gone for three months. I had to go to the Sydney, AU consulate to be allowed back in the US. I was to just told to renew my card, nothing about the possibility of being deported, and was told the same thing by the border control when entering the US. Now I don't know what to do, anyone have any experience with this? I think I need to get a lawyer tomorrow morning. I have a 16 month old child with my US citizen husband, the child was born here in the US.

Thank you!

You are definately going to need a lawyer. I believe that you should of filed to remove conditions 3 months before expiration of your card.

All I can say is best of luck and I hope it all works out for you

Did you not get informed about the procedure to remove conditions of your 2 year greencard when you first received it?

When I got my visa, they told me in detail what is to be done in two years time...

I'd advise you to contact a lawyer and read through the documents you should have submitted 3 months prior to the expiration date of your gc... I-751 (I believe?).

Good luck!

this is very disturbing.... how come your USC didn't file to remove your conditional greencard 90 days before expiration date?????? Unbelievable some people!!!! Let's this be a lesson for all including myself!!!

What did you lawyer say? Fixable?

[Reba 2]

The USC half of the equation cannot remove the conditions, only the immigrant half can. Its her green card, not his.

Well we contacted the local Congressmans office, they happen to be part of the committee on Homeland Security. They are going to be speaking to the INS on our behalf to help us figure out our next step. A lawyer will be hired soon, just waiting on the word from the Congress aids.

Good luck, I hope you get it resolved soon.

Kellie,

The Congressman's office cannot speak to an entity that no longer exists, nor can the Congressman's office get the current entity to violate the law.

The ball is in your court to grovel and beg forgiveness. Lawyers are good at this, so get moving with someone who can actually help you.
