ok....so here goes
met my wife 2018, applied for k-1 august of 2019
she was set to come here from philippines may/june 2020......then covid happened
i then could not see her for 2 years and it was a tough time
FINALLY she arrives march 2023.....as they pushed my case back because they said people with health problems skip line ahead.....ok....fair enough
we get married april of 2023....my lawyer by now took off with all my money and he is being disbarred....still doesnt get me back my money and time wasted and mistakes made on my paperwork hindering me
finally submitted everything to adjust status and USCIS keeps asking me for info and i send it over and over again and even uploaded it to my account
finally awaited final decision this month and a few days ago i received letter that she was DENIED.....and to wait for another letter of instructions to follow
and she got some notification urging her to self-deport to 'make america safe again"
we are not criminals, we done nothing wrong, i have a few parking tickets and traffic violations thats it
i been on this journey since august of 2019 and we did things "the right way" and spent alot of money doing so.....she wants to go back and visit family but its impossible for her to come home if she does
how long and expensive is an appeal? and is she in danger of deportation? she works hard pays taxes and contributes more here than many americans i know.
i did contact another lawyer and will probably go broke paying them......is there anything else i can do?
