Hi fellas!

 

I’m facing a very very bad situation right now. 
 

filed for I-751 on June 2019. After waiting for 2 years and 2 months my interview was scheduled. Got the letter in mail, like 4 days before the interview I had symptoms of COVID but I was really sure it wasn’t and called to see if I can go anyways but they told me NO! You need to reschedule, they did it but I never received the second letter with the new appointment, instead I received a decline letter stating I didn’t go to the interview! Which of course I didn’t go because I didn’t receive the letter. Five days after the decline letter was received, I received an NTA with date for may 03 2022. 

 

I’m really pissed off since I waited to damn much just to be denied due a mistake of USCIS or even USPS. 
 

I’m very confident that the judge will give me the approval since my case was rock solid and never had any problem at all with it. Just “missed” the interview.
 

The thing is I need to travel overseas URGENTLY since I need to make a major surgery on my face or I will be facing major health problems. My main doctor is not in the US and is the one who knows the cae very well, so doing it here in the US is not an option. 
 

I don’t know what to do at this point, any advice will be really appreciated.

You should consult a competent immigration attorney.  
 

Since you have an NTA, assuming you have an unexpired I-551 and return to the USA before your court appearance you should be fine.  
 

But considering the omicron hype and the possibility of medical complications, the chances of you missing your hearing are significant imo.

Get infopass

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

Hello, 

 

yes I have my unexpired I-551 and will be valid until august 27 2022. My NTA is dated for May 09. USCIS told me over the phone I should be ok if I have my I-551 but also told me to call CBP just to be sure

Get an attorney asap to address your NTA since fault came from USCIS your immigration attorney should take it from there, as far as traveling rn with the Omicron B.S going round there’s 50/50 chances that CBP wouldn’t let you back in or might as well deny you entry back, IDK 🤷‍♂️ everyone lucky charms are different

@mindthegap Can the OP travel abroad if his I-751 was denied and he already received the notice to appear before an immigration judge? 

Yes, as long as the I-551 stamp is still unexpired.

CR1 / DCF (London): 2012 / 2013 (4 months from I-130 petition to visa in hand)

I-751 #1- April 2015 [Denied]

 

April 2015 : I-751 Joint filing package sent fedex next day 09:00am from UK ($lots - thanks). 
Jan 2017: Notification that an interview has been scheduled at a local office. Bizarrely still no RFE... 
Jan 2017: 2hr wait, then interview terminated before it began, due to moving my ID to another state 2 wks prior. New interview 'in a few months...maybe.'   Informed them that divorce proceedings are underway, but not finalised at this time. 
March 2017: An Interview was scheduled - marked as no-show as they didn't actually send out a notification of interview. FML 
April  2017: Filed an official complaint with the ombudsman, and have requested Senator & Congressman assistance
August 2017: Interview - switched to a (finalised) divorce waiver. Told that decision will be made that afternoon, but no problems foreseen with my case. 
October 2017: Letter of Denial received - reason given as 'I-751 petition was not properly filed'. Discovered ex-spouse made false allegations to USCIS in 2015. No opportunity given to review & refute allegations  - contrary to USCIS policy.

I-751 #2 - Oct 2017 - Mar 2021[Denied] 

 

October 2017: Within 72hrs of receiving denial notice, a new waiver I-751, divorce decree & $680 cheque, sent to Vermont via FedEx overnight 9am priority.  
Dec 2019: Filed FOIA request for full A# file
Feb 2020: FOIA request completed - entire A# file received as a .PDF; 197 pages fully redacted, and 80 partially redacted. Don't waste your time!
March 2021: I-751 #2 denied for lack of evidence. No RFE, no interview, and evidence in previous I-751 not reviewed - contrary to policy. Huge errors in adjudication.

N-400 - Feb 2018 - Apr 2021 [Denied]

 

February 2018: N-400 filed online.  $725 paid to the USCIS paperwork wastage fund

February  2019: Interview - cancelled after a four hour wait due to 'missing paperwork' on their end. Promised Expedited reschedule.

March 2021: Interview letter received, strangely dated after I-751 denial. No I-751 interview conducted. N-400 interview and test passed, given 'cannot make a decision at this time' paper due to the ongoing I-751 nightmare...

April 2021: N-400 denial received citing recent I-751 denial as basis for ineligibility, even though it should have been a combo interview 🤯

I AM JACK'S COMPLETE LACK OF SURPRISE

Service Motion - March 2021 [Sent via FedEx & COMPLETELY IGNORED by USCIS]

 

March 2021: Service Motion request sent overnight addressed direectly to field office director, requesting urgent review and re-opening, based on errors in adjudication - citing USCIS policy, AFM and memorandums as basis for errors. This was completely ignored by USCIS.

 I-751 #3 - June 2021 - Jan 2024 [Denied]

 

IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY

June 2021: I-751 #3 (30+lbs/5000 pages of paperwork) & another $680 sent to USCIS via FedEx ($300+..thanks) .... 

June 2021: Receipt issued, card charged, biometrics waived, infopass scheduled for I-551 stamp number ten.....

Feb 2022: RFIE (no, not an RFE, a Request For Initial Evidence) received, for copies of the divorce paperwork that they already have 😑

July 2022: Infopass for I-551 stamp number eleven.....

August 2023: Infopass for I-551 stamp number twelve....

January 2024: Denial received, ignoring the overwhelming majority of the filing, abundance of evidence, and refutation of a provably false allegation. The denial also contradicts itself in multiple places, as if it was written by someone with an IQ <50.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

2024: FML. Seriously. I'm done.

Not going to happen.

Omicron/covid is not a concern of CBP,  and it currently remains the responsibility of airlines to verify negative testing requirements/recovery documentation and before travelling to the US.

Once you have been cleared by them, it is normal procedures at your POE, and as the OP remains a LPR, there shouldn't be an issue at this time.

Glad to hear that your treatment was successful, but the OP should use the doctor who has specific knowledge about their case.

 

Sounds like the worst that  is likely to happen is that if there is another travel ban then the OP would have to start over with an IR1.

if a dr back  home is the only one who understands this treatment ,  it should have been corrected before travel here

and US drs are well versed in every medical disorder known to man

You are not a doctor so maybe don't give medical opinion? 

 

I doubt anyone would trust a doctor they do not know at all for surgery on the FACE when you can travel to a doctor you know well and knows your case. Plus, finding a doctor in the US and getting referrals (plus, doing all of the medical exams again), would take forever.
