Just as a note, you said that they should give you a second chance. You have to look at it from USCIS point of view, as these are the people judging you.

Generally, them forgiving your overstay because you married a USC is the second chance. There really are no second chances for those who commit crimes, while overstaying 22 years, and then asking for a LPR card.

The investigation is topping on the cake for them, while 22 years of overstay could have been forgiven, generally in these cases they would have tried to find any thing else to hit you with. The investigation just gave them what they probably needed for a character judgement.

Had you been working and paying your taxes over the 22 years? Or is that maybe a part of what the fraud investigation is about? (PS: You don't have to answer this if it causes you to admit any crimes on a public forum)


While you say that the government play on peoples ignorance, it's hard to plead ignorant when you apply to come in on a visa that has a limited time frame, and then never leave, potentially work and do other activities to sustain yourself for 22 years. Some people can plead ignorance because they overstayed a month of two and "lost track of time", but 22 years of not knowing what you were doing? Ehh, I don't seem to think they'll believe that.


With that said, ask yourself this: What would you provide to the US that is a benefit? Right now, you have a lot of things against you, and as a person you don't look very desirable. They want the people they accept into the country legally to be of use. What use could you be to the US, when right now you've shown that you're willing to break laws placed?


There's a good chance that if denied and convicted, even the best of lawyers won't get you out of a ban from the country. I don't think you should be looking at non-profits for this, I think you need to look at the best lawyer you can get.

I also think that you may want to only talk about your lawyer about this, posting things about your dislike of the government and how everything they've done is wrong and yadda yadda, that could be held against you one day. While it's interesting to see the things people post to you, it may be in your best interest to stop posting about this topic.

I've been reading all the posts on this topic. First thing that comes to mind is the OP needs to stop talking and get a lawyer. Never bring up this topic again. Seriously, you've said way too many things already that can be used against you and rightfully so. The investigation needs to be settled first no matter what. The outcome will determine if you even have the slightest chance of an approval from USCIS. USCIS is going to do nothing but deny you until the case is cleared. Secondly, what about your wife? 2 prior convictions and an ongoing investigation. She said you both need to make a decision. I think you have bigger things to think about now than what USCIS is doing. I would think your marriage is in jeopardy. Again, let me repeat this, stop posting, get a lawyer, move forward after the investigation is settled.

Agree with above poster. Lawyer up.

Crimes involving moral turpitude (CIMT) are lawyer territory, both in criminal cases and immigration cases, and can easily get your case denied and you deported.

Check AILA for competent attorneys in your area, and make sure they have experience dealing with family cases involving CIMTs.

No, they were quoting robinhood21's post by copying/pasting instead of clicking the quote button.( Adil&Jeanne's visa journey is wayyyy different from OP's)

Wow!! ACLU sent me an email saying that they can't help and suggesting me to contact the other 2 organizations.

Thank you for your advice,do you have a personal experience with AILA???

I really hope that you don't perceive my comments too harsh, just trying to make you aware of how some information you posted could come back and tank your case if eyes from the other side come across this forum.

Hi hi,

I just looked at your timeline, and congratulations on getting your greencard! Quick question, how is it a 10 year greencard? I thought it was normally 2 years and then you had to get conditions removed

She was already married for 2 years when she got her green card and that's why she got a 10 year card.

Married less than 2 years, then it's a 2 year conditional card.

Married more than 2 years, then it's a 10 year card (no condition).
