This is a day that my wife and I should be celebrating. She had her interview today. We have really waited so long for this day prepared so hard. We crossed every "T" and dotted every "I". We thought we were ready for the big day. We where so organized, we had every document that we thought they would ask for. My wife and her daughter and I went to New Orleans for the interview today. It didn't take long at all. They called my wife in ask a few basic questions looked at her ID's and my Drivers License. Then with the drop of a hat announced that my wife will be granted status and in the same breath said but your daughter is denied. She said that based on her status as a K-2 she was too old. April 2004 I went to Hong Kong to see my fiancee. In May 2004 I petitioned for my then fiancee and her daughter as K-1 & K-2 . My wife arrived nov 2004. We married Dec 2004. Feb 2005 her daughter arrived. At the time that I petitioned for them her daughter was 19, but that Nov. 2004 she turned 20. By Jan 2005 she was granted her K-2 visa and arrived in Feb 2005. So she was granted a K-2 at the age of 20. After going to Hong Kong, paying all the fees for her and her daughter, airfares and the wedding and Christmas. I was tapped out of money. But I knew I had a little time to file AOS for them, in the meantime we worked on there SS cards and EAD cards. Then in Oct. 2005 we had the money to adjust status and we did. Hurricane Katrina hit about one month before and the devastation closed everything in New Orleans including the Immigration offices. So all case where postponed. In the meantime her daughter is getting older. Why would they grant her a k-2 at 20 if she didn't have time to adjust her status or if she did have time then deny her after the delay with all the cases because of the hurricane. Here it is 20 Months since we filed AOS. Just 4 months shy of 2 years. We are suppose to go before a judge so he can order her to be deported or she can take a voluntarily deportation. We were told we are allowed Legal representation. We are trying to find out if we have a case and should we fight this. Please Help us help our daughter.

I think you should probably have a consultation w/ a qualified immigration attorney, perhaps there is still something that can be done to adjust her status. Don't give up! For sure at this point do not "volunteer" to leave the country, until you see what can be done. She may still have a chance to adjust status w/ the help of some legal counsel.

Good luck!

It is difficult to say congratulations on the one hand, and I'm sorry on the other, but there you go. I would shop around immediately for an experienced immigration attorney. Perhaps there is some hope for a waiver due to the delay caused by Katrina.

Good luck to all three of you.

Ron and Mylah,

I agree - try to contact Girona40 and start hunting for an immigration attorney very experienced in marriage-based immigration.

Best wishes.

Yodrak

^^ Yes. Girona40 is one of them. I would seriously consider PMing or emailing her through the board.

I would use the Katrina excuse. If you could prove out the timeline that she would have been approved in time if Katrina had not happened, you may have a case.

That is the way I would do it. Then again, I am not an attorney nor would my opinion stand up in court.
