i485forparent AOS to Parent who has TPS, had an advanced Parole, but has had deportation proceeding

[Harold_B 54]

My Father's History:

Came to us without inspection on November 11th 1995, applied for asylum and was denied and asked for Voluntary Departure on August 14, 1996. HE DID NOT LEAVE.

 

5 years passed, its now March 2001 and president bush granted TPS for those Salvadorians with deportation orders and no criminal records. My dad applied and was approved.

 

4 years later, In 2006 he applied for advanced parole and was approved. Traveled to El Salvador and re-entered the US just fine.

 

 17 years later still with TPS and no criminal records, I filed AOS for him because I turned 21. Went to interview and since my dad does not have good memory he lied under oath and said 'he has never been in proceedings of removal' which he was, in 1996.

We received a NOID (notice intention of Denial for his permanent residence) NOID says he can applied for a waiver of inadmissibility (I-601) but I looked at those criteria and its a pardon and he needs to show extreme hardship for U.S. citizen or U.S. permanent resident spouse or parent (NOT child)  

 

In this case, what do we do? will his AOS just get denied and end of story. What will happen once his TPS is removed in 2020?

Oh boy. This is not going to be an easy road for what seems to already be a difficult journey for your father.

 

He keeps getting chances and then making it more difficult (not leaving after agreeing to voluntary depart then lying under oath for a process to make him a resident).

 

Best advice I would give, personally, is to seek good legal counsel. As of now, USCIS has an arsenal of ammunition to deny your father due to his history. It is not about "not having a criminal record", but also abiding by agreements and rules set in to help him do it the legal way.

 

The burden is now on him (and you so to speak). Yes, it is possible that the AOS can be denied. The waiver seems to be distant option if there is no extreme hardship for you.

An I-601 for fraud/misrepresentation requires a USC or LPR spouse or parent to show extreme hardship. A child relative does not apply.

"If you are inadmissible because you sought to procure an immigration benefit by fraud or misrepresented a material fact (INA section 212(a)(6)(C)(i)), you may seek a waiver by filing this application.

...

Your qualifying U.S. citizen, or lawful permanent resident relative (spouse or parent), or the K visa petitioner would experience extreme hardship if you were denied admission"

 

Without an approved I-601, he will not be able to adjust status since he is inadmissible. Once his authorized stay expires, he must leave the US or else he will be subject to removal proceedings (again).

 

Seeking good legal counsel as well would be advised.

*TPS grants "lawful presence" (until Jan. 5, 2020 for Honduras beneficiaries). AOS "authorized stay" will end when there is no proper response to the NOID and the beneficiary is denied AOS.

Just to update this topic. We applied with a Pardon and also applied with a letter of extreme hardship plus proof for my sister and I (I cant remember the form numbers) also listed in the comments that he was confused by the question and did not mean to lie. Therefore weeks later and thanks to GOD he was approved and we have received his Green Card.
