What's the point of filing another I-130 now when you're still an LPR (for now at least)?

Are you trying to make it so you can immediately re-enter if you get deported? If so, it doesn't work like that.

the reason for filing i -130 bc im already on deportation and my green card already on the risk becasue of criminal charges as per laywer said there is only two way either we win the case and its less chanses but if your wife filled the i-130 for you what they can do is they can take your old green card and give you the new one and i dont want to go back home becuse i already bought the business here and my child here

It is highly unlikely that they will give you a new green card after taking your old one. She will need to file waivers anyway if you are deported and with your criminal offense. You can't stay in country while she does that.

He's the top lawyer in Ohio but told you to file i130 while you may get deported??

It sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about and taking advantage of you or he's really that stupid. If your deported you can not enter back into America (unless you do what the Mexicans do) even with a approved i130 you were deported for a reason and nothing can change that

[aleful 1,905]

hi

plus you are still a green card holder until you are deported and your GC taken away

and there are instances that you are banned for life and never will you be able to return to the US

[Anitafeliz 1,133]

Could it be possible that the TOP attorney in Ohio was trying to have it ready for when deportation proceedings begin they can submit a hardship waiver???

Might I add if you don't want to be away from your wife and son y'all can all go back to Pakistan that can solve everything. Just because a i30 was approved it doesn't mean you will get/keep your green card. Aggervated assult is bad and a felony in most states and will only prove you are a dangerous person. My wife brother best friend was deported and banned for hitting some guy with a beer bottle at the bar.

But you should really consider migrating back home with the family it will probably be cheaper and easier

sorry no offense but all the people who reply are you guys immigration lawyers? or somthing else

here some stories for all these laywer who was telling what they feel and didnt know the law

Our client, who was a lawful permanent resident, hired us in May 2008 when he was concluding his federal criminal sentence for four fraud offenses. His convictions were aggravated felonies for immigration purposes. Upon completion of his sentence, he was placed in removal proceedings and transferred to Oakdale, Louisiana. He was in mandatory detention due to the criminal convictions. Our defense to removal was that we would apply to re-adjust status with a waiver under INA Section 212(h). He was eligible for 212(h) despite the aggravated felony because he adjusted status after a lawful admission as a visitor. The adjustment application would be based on our client’s marriage to a United States citizen. We first filed the I-130 petition. The petition was finally approved in 2009. We then filed the adjustment of status application with the Court. The hearing was conducted in January 2010 and consisted of the testimony of our client, his wife, and an expert witness. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Judge stated he needed more time to issue a decision. We then filed a closing brief with the Court. In April 2010, the Immigration Judge announced his decision. He granted the application for adjustment of status and the 212(h) waiver"

"Our client hired us after he was detained when his naturalization application was denied. He was placed in removal proceedings. Our client had multiple drug convictions as well as numerous other criminal convictions. He was subject to mandatory detention during his removal proceedings. We filed an application for cancellation of removal with the Immigration Judge. We gathered a significant amount of documentation to support the application. After hearing testimony on the case and considering the evidence we submitted, the Immigration Judge granted cancellation of removal. Our client was released from ICE custody that same day. The case only took about one month from the date we were hired until the date the Court granted"

"When our client hired us in 2009 he was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Houston, Texas due to a drug conviction. At the time, he was not eligible for bond and was in removal proceedings. We were able to work with a Houston lawyer to help him vacate his drug case and enter a new plea to a charge that arguably was not a crime involving moral turpitude. We then requested a bond hearing with the Immigration Judge and were able to obtain bond.Unfortunately, after our client was released he was arrested and charged with several felonies and a misdemeanor DUI. We worked closely with his criminal attorney in Texas to try to obtain a beneficial plea deal. Ultimately we were able to come up with a plea deal to two misdemeanors that arguably were not crimes involving moral turpitude.

Soon thereafter, our client married a United States citizen. The plan was then to apply for adjustment of status and argue that no waivers were needed for these criminal cases or for a prior case (there were 4 convictions total). We were able to quickly get an I-130 approval and filed our application for adjustment of status. We filed an extensive pre-hearing brief arguing that our client had not been convicted of any crimes involving moral turpitude. We also filed extensive documentation to establish our client warranted adjustment of status as a matter of discretion. In April 2014, the Immigration Judge heard the case and granted our client’s application for adjustment of status. Our office was commended for our thorough preparation and filings. Our client has finally realized his dream of becoming a lawful permanent resident. Although his case looked bleak at the time we were retained, we were able to help our client obtain his dream through hard work. The case also shows the importance of having an experienced immigration lawyer working with immigration counsel to craft a plea in a manner that avoids adverse immigration consequences. "
