I lived in the US for twelve years... Never spent a sole day illegally as I moved there as a child under an H4 visa ... then got married at 16 with my highschool sweetheart who was american and gave me the benefit of my first green card... At 21 he cheated on me, our marriage ended in a divorce and I had pending an I-751 to remove the conditional status of my residency... which was pending until 2006 when I was already 26 years old, remarried and had a new born baby... I received the noticed my petition I-751 was denied because I got a divorce and did not qualify for an exception... I was wrongly advised then by a so called attorney to choose voluntarily leave in August of 2007 even though I had an I-130 petition pending since February of 2007 but was not aware that I did not have to leave to adjust my status... I am now stuck in Brazil for 9 months waiting for the sanale passe USCIS response on my I-130... In March of 2008 I learned about k3 visas and filled the I-129F... We then requested it to be expedited, we got the expedited request approval for the I-129F on June 15th now we are back on the waiting game with no further updates...
