Hello, thank you for replying. I entered the country on a visa waiver program with at the time my US Spouse which i ended over staying by several years. Marriage was abusive i wanted to get out of it. Spouse found out I was going to file divorce and reported me to ICE. ICE arrested me and issued a final removal order. I didn't see an immigration judge as i waived my rights to one by entering on a visa waiver program. (ESTA)
Because of my domestic situation, ICE decided to not execute the order and instead allowed me to remain in the US and file for a VAWA petition. My VAWA petition was approved and i later filed I485 which was approved and i was granted Lawful Permanent Resident status, even though i had a final removal order.
I read that alot of people file motions to reopen their case with the immigration court to get the removal orders terminated, this is not something i can do since my case was never went through the court.
Uscis adjusted my status, but they mentioned nothing about the termination of the previous removal order. So, I'm confused about how this will effect me if I travel abroad.
Do I have to file a i212 permision to reapply for admission as an lpr?
Thank you
