Voluntary Departure/Adjusting status

Probably because in those last 11 years his illegal status was not spotlighted....so he flew under the radar, kept quiet as it were.

 

Seems to reason the i-130 filing will have now brought him to USCIS's attention in a huge way...start a chain of events if presumably after the denial letter comes the NTA letter.

NTA not needed he has a Deportation Order against him.

Ah true.... forgot it's automatic deportation order after his failure to voluntarily depart.

 

If OP's husband is still driving without a license, he's begging for trouble if he gets pulled over again/stopped for a traffic violation.

Driving without a license and more than likely working as well don't forget that.

Nothing new in SW Florida, seems everyone is doing it, and no car Insurance.

From what we understand there is a 10 year ban from adjusting status inside the US ---- if you do not leave the US after a voluntary departure request. 

 

If he departs now, there will be another ban from the US that would go into place which is diff.. for up to 10 years.. 

You may be correct but that's why your paying for a lawyer to try and help you because this will be a very difficult case to say the least. You better hope that the alamance county sheriff won't catch y'all because you know how he hates and goes after illegals that are breaking the law. So your husband better not be doing anything wrong right now. 

 

Also this will not be a easy case and it will take several years at least for this to be complete.

Best go in front of our LIBERAL immigration judges, he will be allowed to stay.

If they do have insurance it ain't worth much at if they hit you. I found that out from experience.

You are right about Alamance County Sheriff.

They are from NC we ain't like CA at all. Just go look at the people holding up in churches in the state due to orders from ICE

I know that because I am born and raised in Guilford County. I have been to Haw River several times to see my gf at the time.

I don't believe you have any options that don't involve leaving the US for a substantial amount of time. 

 

The only real question is does he want to depart willingly or wait to be removed by ICE, which will be unpleasant.

We know what a small chance we have in changing whatever we are in right now. But, going to El Salvador with our severely autistic son just isn't going to happen. So, here we are believing what our attorney is telling us and hoping for a positive outcome - without going back to El Salvador. 

I suggest changing your name as your user name fyi:/ you dont want people googling you or worse, uscis!

 

Also, i suggest calling a GREAT waiver lawyer! lizz cannon gives free advice! she is amazing:) google her and tell her your ENTIRE story and she will know what to do or if anything can be done!!!!!! you need a specialized waiver lawyer! also laurel scott but she charges more and lizz cannon worked under her. they are the two best! give lizz a call!

That is my supposition, failure to use Voluntary Departure when given the opportunity does not bode well.

I have to agree with most of the others here. He has no way to adjust status as-is, and the clock on the 10 year bar does not begin until he exits. Hoping to remain a few more years without getting caught won't change his ability to to adjust status, incur a bar upon departure, or make anything easier.

 

Each legal option was squandered along the way to avoid a consequence. At some point, the past catches up with you...and it won't get better.

Only you know what is best for you two together, but you need to realize and prepare for the day when when you will either be separated, or be ready to move to another country together.
