Removal Proceedings!!!!

[Gawu 1 12]

Hello All, 

 

I filed in a removal of condition form i751 on December 2016 as my conditional green card would expire in February, I moved and sent in the form AR11 which the uscis confirmed to have received and updated it on my file then and didn’t get anything from the uscis until November 4th when a letter came in that the case was denied and terminated cos me and my spouse never showed up for the interview so now I’m been placed on removal proceedings because of this. 

 

The truth is we never received no letter from the uscis telling us we had interview for that date and we were always calling to find out what the status of our case was and all the time the officers would tell us the case is pending and We even went to get an extension cos the previous extension had expired and while we were at the local uscis office they never made mention of such to me or my wife. 

 

So so now I’m confused and don’t know how to go about this whole thing or what to do. Please I need advice and help on what to do. Thanks to everyone in advance.

Hire a lawyer immediately and get a consultation. Why didn't you follow your own case status.

Could be an error on USCIS part. Make an appointment at your local field office to sort this out, especially if you’ve been tracking your case status regularly as you said in your post.

You will need a very expensive attorney. Possibly $12,000 in costs. Other option is to leave the country before removal and start over.

I would recommend getting an infopass ASAP and explain your situation with proofs (i.e., you never got a notice online or in the mail)

At the same time, consult with an attorney ASAP

Hire an attorney like right away- 

 

I'm sorry to hear about your case but definitely consult with an attorney ASAP!

So you received this letter on Nov 4th...and you are only seeking advice now, a month later?

 

 

 

File a new I-751. 

Immediately.  Don't worry about sending evidence, just get it filed with a (brief!) cover letter.

Yes, you will have to pay again, and do biometrics again.

 

It puts you immediately back into non-ambiguous legal status, and you then can obtain a passport stamp as proof of status, including for travel purposes.

 

 

 

Also, if it is now three years since gaining permanent residence and you are still living in marital union (or five if no longer living in marital union), this issue does not prevent you from filing an N-400.

Thanks All... The reason why didn't take any action till now was because i made an infopass appointment which was today and with all the explanation and evidence that i provide they told me they can't do anything about it as this case has been closed and terminated as it is a whole lot of stress and headache for them to reschedule and start over again. they showed me a copy of the interview letter but it never came to my address and we never got no notice so i just got put on a spot but i did speak to a lawyer and we are following a new route to the case and hopefully everything goes fine.

 

I did like to hear any more advice and ideas that anyone has to give cos no idea is a waste and who knows it could be the breaking point.

 

Thanks once again to you all,

 

Philip

Ok, fair enough. As predicted, they won't do anything.

 

Filing an I-290b will be a waste of money, has an unknown timeline, does not address your immediate pressing issue, and is a similar fee to a fresh I-751. You would ultimately end up filing a fresh I-751 after the I-290b is denied (which in all likelihood it will be) so my advice above stands - file a fresh I-751 immediately.

Hello @mindthegap

 

Thanks for your advice, I appreciate your concern and everyone here that has been helpful. My attorney and i are thinking of filling for my citizenship and the i751 immediately since i have been married for 5 years plus as this will help hasten the decision on the i751 even though i have been placed on removal proceedings. What do you think? 

 

Thanks once again in advance,

This.

 

You need to get a new i-751 out to them ASAP.

Your attorney is correct.

Same situation I am in - denial letter but no NTA issued, filed a fresh I-751within a couple of days, and then filed the N-400 online the day I was eligible,

Have obtained two stamps since refiling, and also travelled without issue.

Hey @mindthegap 

 

Thanks for the briefing. Mine is almost a month now that I received the letter but as planned we’re filing both the i751 and the N400 together and I also have a stamp on my passport which expires next year October. 

 

My question is is can I travel out of the country with the stamp on my passport and the current situation I’m in without having any issues at the border when coming back in? I wanna know cos I already purchase a ticket to travel out of the country before finding out all these. 

 

Thanks for ur continual help and advice. 

 

Philip.
