Guess I am getting deported

[Boiler 46,124]

Very worst case scenario would be you file again and get a 10 year GC. Begs the question what would be the point in not allowing RoC.

I don’t know why you worried . I filed mines two weeks late with no tangible reasons . Wife signed one side of the document and didn’t Signed the other coz she didn’t know . Then left for a two weeks vacation. Had to wait till she came back . 2 weeks sent with no explanation why I sent it late . No rfe nothing . 

 

Then applied for n400 and I’m in line for interview. my i-175 been sent to a different office for now . Hoping I get a joint interview this couple of months. Stop with the worry . Stay positive and wait on them . Then you can act upon it. Worrying about what you don’t have any power  just drains you emotionally. We will pray for you . Stay positive. Two days ain’t nothing for some deportation bs. Good luck

I don't see the issues here.

 

1. If you can't pay for the fee, apply for a balance transfer credit card which allows you to take some money out in advance from these credit cards while enjoying the 0 % interest rate.

 

2. You're not being deported. They're too busy with handling other #######.

Thank you guys soo much. I will tell my wife there is still a good chance everything will be fine. 

Wish us luck!

Please make sure that you don't go out of your way to bring USCIS's attention to the fact that you filed late. Don't go sending any letters apologizing or explaining your reasons or financial hardship, that is for the RFE if it ever comes.

 

There is a very good chance that nothing will happen and your case will be processed as per normal but putting a big red marker around the date you filed because you are nervous will not help your case at all.

If I were in this situation, I would probably write a rough draft of a simple explanation letter now and get the documents lined up for a potential RFE while it's all still fresh in my mind. Then, I'd do my best to forget all about it until if/when a RFE arrives.

 

Best case scenario, it ends up being a few minutes of wasted prep because there is no RFE. Or, if there is one, it's that much easier to respond to by just double-checking the letter & having everything ready to go, rather than having to scramble to put proof together at that point. But that's just me. :-)

 

Good luck with your process!

Thanks for all the helpful positive replies guys. I will get on drafting an explanation now. 

Last thing I promise. 

What is my current legal status as far as work goes?

Kinda weird turn of events but I just received a phone call for a job interview. 

 

In any other situation this would be good news, I can finally start working again. 

 

But with this whole situation, am I still legal to work?

Is there anyway I can check?

 

If the money order was cashed does that mean I am legal to work?

 

I have the job interview tomorrow afternoon.

If the CERTIFIED CASHIERS CHECK was cashed does that mean I am legal to work?

[Cardinal6669 10]

I just called my bank and the cashiers check is still outstanding so they haven't cashed it yet.

Well, my personal opinion is that you're fine. People often file for adjustment of status with some overstay (some people even do it with months of o/s). Most of them make it perfectly fine and I'd argue that those people are in a more precarious situation than yourself as they are not yet LPR's at that point. You have LPR status already. I understand your concern, but I also suggest relaxing. In general, ICE are like the Deputy Marshals; they're going after really serious offenders for the most part.

Unchanged. You remain a lawful permanent resident at this time.

Yes of course. You are a permanent resident. I believe you should be fine and they will accept your application.

Yes...although what evidence of your work authorization do you have on you so you can complete the I-9? Until the extension letter comes in, you are an LPR but you don't have evidence of it yet.

 

If you went to the SSA previously to get an unrestricted Social Security card, then you can use that plus a valid ID.

I have had a SS card since I basically got to America. I've used it for everything including getting a car loan for our new car, so I don't think it's restricted or whatever. 

I also have a drivers license. 

Will that work for the I-9?

Does the Social Security card have any text written across it...something along the lines of "VALID ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION"? If so, then it's restricted. If not, then that + a valid driver's license should be fine for the I-9.
