Haha ok, I will do that, thank you so much!

Got it, thank you! Will file with USCIS after it's terminated.

Could you share with me what you did specifically to shake the USCIS tree that was successful? I tried the senator approach only so far. And I'm not allowed to inquire with USCIS until April of 2025 unfortunately... Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm glad you finally got it terminated! Yes, I'm planning to see which I will receive first before making my decision, the AP or I-130. But I will definitely not travel on AP if I file the motion to recalendar and terminate. Thank you!

Thank you for your advice! Yes, I'm going to wait for the I-130 to come, hopefully it'll come soon. And I will do as you suggested. Do you recommend filing the I-485 with the court instead of USCIS? And if so, why? Just so that I'm aware of all the options and its advantages/disadvantages. Thank you!

Not personally haha, just through the grapevine. To submit more evidence, is it through my USCIS online account and under unsolicited evidence? Do you need to provide any cover letter to go along with it or anything? And what type of evidence do you suggest would be best? I already submitted photos, joint financials, joint leases... Thank you!

Have you known/heard of anyone recently getting their removal proceedings terminated successfully with just a pending 130? I know it's a case by case basis and up to the judge, but was just wondering if you know of any. Thank you!

Sighh... yeah just waiting for that 130 approval. It's been 13.5 months already. I asked a senator to inquire on my behalf to USCIS recently, hopefully that will do something. Otherwise, I have to wait until April 11, 2025 before I can inquire with USCIS for outside of normal processing times.

@Family Unfortunately her condition is a chronic mental condition, and not dire enough (definitely frail but not on deathbed). Thus, I don't think my infopass request would be granted. My AP receipt date is July 3, so I'm probably looking at a late October approval (hopefully).

My removal order was given by the LA court. But the BIA was the one who admin-closed my case, so my lawyer said I have to submit the motion to recalendar to BIA first. Then the BIA will send it back to the LA court, where they will recalendar the case for a hearing. He said once the case is in the court's docket, the government attorney (ICE/OPLA) will be more responsive to the Prosecutorial Discretion. In regards to travel, yes I'm planning to follow his advise. Just waiting to see whether my AP or 130 will be approved first. @Family Do you recommend filing the motion to recalendar with a pending 130? Thank you for your insights!

Because my work is asking for me to travel and to visit my grandmother who is ill. And also because my I-130 is still pending approval, I heard it's better to have it approved before trying to recalendar and terminate the removal proceedings. I definitely appreciate my lawyer and am glad he's concerned for me.

I am a DACA recipient married to a naturalized U.S. citizen, and I am currently in the process of applying for a green card. However, I have an administratively closed removal case. I entered the U.S. legally and have no criminal record. My lawyer submitted the I-130 petition and a joint motion with OPLA in June and July of 2023, respectively, but I have not received any responses to either at this time. In light of the lack of progress, I applied for Advance Parole. Recently, I discovered that OPLA may not respond to joint motions because they are not obligated to. Therefore, I asked my lawyer to file a motion to recalendar my administratively closed case directly with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), as they were responsible for the administrative closure. My lawyer has prepared the motion and was about to submit it until I told him that I applied for AP. My lawyer has advised against traveling on AP while the motion to recalendar is pending. He believes that doing so could jeopardize my case and my re-entry into the U.S., given that the motion would reactivate my administratively closed case. He advised to either submit the motion and don't travel, or travel and submit the motion after I return. However, I've read multiple stories of DACA recipients traveling and returning successfully with AP, despite having an active deportation/removal case. Is my lawyer being overly cautious, or is this advice generally sound given my situation? Thank you in advance.
