US Immigration from Venezuela

Hello,

My husband applied for removal of conditions from us 2 year residency we received in 2017. We never received an interview and we were given an 18 month extension on his residency. During that time, his family passed away in a car accident in his home country. We traveled for the funeral and 3 days later the pandemic shut the country down. His visa expired while we were here. Now we are being told we need to apply for a returning resident visa at a neighboring embassy since the country we are in does not have an embassy. My question is that we need to get his paperwork straightened out in the US, but I can only get a travel permit to leave Venezuela for 3-6 months. How would you go about doing this? Also, we are now employed overseas with a US organization. When should we consider applying for citizenship?

Hello.

When I (USC) married my wife (Venezuelan), she was already in removal proceedings stemming from an asylum application.

- I-130 approved on March 19, 2021

- I-485 submitted on May 6, 2021

We submitted our AOS applications following the instructions in the attached picture. For people in removal of status, special instructions have to be followed as you can see in the document.

What I know:
- USCIS cannot adjudicate our case because the courts have jurisdiction over my wife. I am 100% clear on that.

What I would like to ask your opinions on:

- I asked our lawyer if we should petition the court to dismiss the case but we were told that at this point, it's better to stay with the court since it'll be faster than dismissing the case and informing USCIS, as we would have to resubmit the case. Is that true?

- I read online of people in similar situations to us, having their case administratively dismissed (USCIS can't adjudicate cases in removal proceedings). Lawyer Office said that this wouldn't happen to us because we followed the procedures to the letter and when it happens to people it's because they didn't follow instructions. Is that true? I would hate for our case to be closed and all this time to be wasted.

We do not have a date for the next hearing. The last date we had was for February 2020, and we petitioned the court to move it until the I-130 got adjudicated. They thankfully granted the request but without a new date.

I am saving to get a second opinion through another lawyer but for now, I hope someone here can answer our questions.

Hi,

My husband got his EAD + AP (combo card) and he is planning to travel to his home country for a doctor s appointment in the meantime the GC application is pending.

We were wondering how safe it is to travel with the Advance Parole and what kind of question they will ask him when we arrive back to the US.

I am planning to go with him and come back to the States together, in that way he won t be by himself in front of the immigration officer.

Thanks,

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.

Hello, i am filling out form I-130 to petition my mother who is residing outside of USA

I need to know which box to check on question two, since it does not mention anything about parents, just Child.
