Were you in status all this time? Your lawyer may be right. You may have a bar on coming to the US

Do NOT go to DR ( or anywhere outside the US). You will not be coming back as 245 (i) only applies to adjusting status in the US. 
Send an email to consulate saying you want your petition /case returned to USCIS as you will be adjusting status in the US.

 

Check your dates …for 245(i) you needed to be in US since Dec 2000 ( not 2001) as you wrote. The previous filed I-130 before April 2001 is ok..as it sounds like I-130 by that spouse was not only approvable but also approved.

 

You should immediately file I-485 ( claim 245 (i) pay the multa , I-485 A , and if you worked and have 40 credits w SS do I-864 W ). 
 

You cannot shift blame to your daughter..this is YOUR process and YOUR decision to make. Hire an attorney if you’re not up to DIY and make sure to thank that attorney….he saved you

I know my bad is 2000 yes i was before and enter 98 and my solid proof my daughter birthday 

 

Why the system dont ask or even sugest to the person filling in this case my daughter to apply for i-485? No everybidy is a lawyer i think they love to do all this mess

 

Well she told me she just keep filling thinking that a some point it would suggest or ask for other forms the only one that asked her was if i need a social security number? i say no bc, i have one from the 2001 filling

 

Another short story

 

A some point around 2006 a very nice lawyer told me to see if they respond to the work permit renewal they responded after paid the fee and did the bio and photos but the id never arrive and not letter nothing explaining, the lawyer said doesnt know what happen i wasnt using the service was to high i just went with my daughter mom ( she passed )  and she told about my case

I strongly recommend you find a way to hire an attorney to help you. ..it gets complicated…and it’s a legal process that can baffle even highly educated lawyers….not just a “bunch of forms “ 

 

Nonetheless here is a list of steps :

1. Do a free online FOIA to get a complete copy of your A-file / record w USCIS

https://www.uscis.gov/records/request-records-through-the-freedom-of-information-act-or-privacy-act

**If case was denied due to abandonment ( wife not showing up) you are ok..but if they suspected sham marriage..it’s a big big problem. so you need to see a copy of the denial decision.and determine if I-485 denied only or was I-130 affected **

 

2. Email to embassy can be short /simple. “ Your name, Case no., date of birth. Request to cancel IV interview and request for case transfer back to USCIS. I will not be pursuing consular process and will be adjusting status within the US”

 

3. Adjustment of status packet requires

I-130 copy of approval ( filed by daughter)

i-130 copy of approval ( by ex wife for 245(i) 

I-485, I-485 A, I-765, I-864 W (**get a Social Security PEBES report of earning)

 

Perhaps someone can add VJ link to the how to I-485 sample study guide

I-693 (sealed medical).

The pappers they sent  i-485 is not like complete, maybe because she is the pettioner or something else they just sent interviews letters, few bio from my side and denied on write but no explaining onky part 1 and part 2 received some part blocked and the writing denied signature and date in a side

 

 

Note

 

The forum says that i reached the maximum post per day today

 

Thanks

You can upload the denial paper..am not clear what you are describing. 
Better yet , take the entire FOIA and go get an attorney to sit w you and explain your next steps.

 

There are many details about that marriage that need to be evaluated . The 245 (i) is a golden ticket..you can’t afford to risk.

Honestly, I don't think it is within your ability to do this without a very competent lawyer with excellent English language skills.

No thinking that everything would be ok again between us , big mistake she just gone to out of state pregnant with a child of his new love, but still did nothing maybe wasting time been mad or depress 

 

I have a daughter with other woman who passed , i do everything to support her, thank god she finis college and find a job to apply for my papers she did it with love thinking everything could be smooth and because yes not everybody is full of cash and here in nyc is no cheap some people has we dont 

 

and tgats why i found this forum and tried to collect info as much as possible to help her and she can do like write letters emaios etc if need it, i tried with all my typos and errors due to engkish as you can notice is not my first language and i need keep practicing more
