PiP is discretionary but a potential route

 

AP and DACA is a common route, Now I have not seen any mention of AP so makes me wonder.

The kid is a retail banking associate (teller).  Likely he has “group” legal through the employer (big bank).

 

I see what the lawyer was doing.

1) file vawa

2) get EAD/AP

3) drop vawa

4) son files i130/485 as dad now has legal entry

 

It’s entirely possible that this worked for other clients and now others (possibly US citizens) are going to have their status revoked.

 

I wish the Latino community had real advocates who tell them the 2 or 3 ways an EWI can get a GC.

 

Any one of the Velasquez children could have joined the military at 18.

 

Not a smart move regardless. Immigration journey is reviewable and this flase VAWA claim to get EAD/ AP for legal entry would be caught at AOS and that would have been the end if it. This game is already known to USCIS. 

 

Why should you get a legal benefit through illegal approach?

 

Even on the Avvo reviews, he claimed DV against a daughter. That got the mother in hot water at interview. 

 

This attorney seems to have a similar trend: file false claims against USC relatives and get EAD/ AP. Later on, petition gets denied and he'll probably blame you. "Didn't you see I got you EAD/AP? So, you screwed up at the interview yourself. " Yet from the get go, he already knows this case is going to get denied and he's just collecting $$ because EAD/ AP are issued without much investigation into the filing

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.

Close analysis..but stand alone VAWA won’t get AP.  Attorney did I-360/I-485 and banked on lots of combo cards .

 

Am guessing he insisted on AP travel so his clients had a chance to adjust through a subsequent sons I-130/I-485 ..when VAWA was denied. So he was banking on a denial .

I wish there was no EWI.  I wish there were fewer ways after EWI.

Should be NONE.

This entitlement should end.

That’s what I meant.  He had an EAD, but the key to successfully and non fraudulently adjusting through son was to get AP

EWI is no shadier than B-2 overstays, full moon Changed Circumstances and a host of other system vulnerabilities. 
 

This is one thing that should go too.."ooo I just landed at JFK at 9pm, by 9:05pm, I've met someone, fell in love right away and we knew we don't want to be apart. I did not plan this"..🙄🙄

 

I hate it when they come with their unicorn stories or like using the word "fell in love right away." It boils my heart.

Well, I doubt the B-2 , F-1 ..overstays are a result of an afterthought 😂 ..

EWI s are roughly 50% of the undocumented immigrants in the US…but the reality is that 100% can work and earn a living. 

Change is a bit more than wishing politicians come up with a pragmatic compromise…..

., Bud Light your local Joe Blow owner that skirts employment laws and 

you don’t have to look farther than : restaurants, construction, landscaping, cleaning , seasonal farms..

wish for a lot of things!

Heat seeming armed drones along the southern border, on the US side.

Facial recognition everywhere.

More robots to do all the jobs illegals do.

I am sure you sprinkled in a whole lot  hyperbole…your drones would be non lethal , right. ? 
I cannot imagine you would go North Korean on everyone 😂

I don’t know if it is hyperbole.

 

There are a lot of proponents of a physical wall.

 

To me, a wall is problematic from environmental and personnel perspectives.  Assuming you could put one up, wouldn’t it be an issue if you didn’t have people watching it at near intervals? And even then, there are ways over and under a wall and what kind of resources would be required to pursue the people who get through?


Taking away the possibility of a GC for any overstayer or EWI is fine and easy to implement, but I don’t think it’s tough enough of a deterrent.
