Re: NYC Immigration Lawyer Rec

I hired https://www.cheryldavidlaw.com/ for my adjustment. She's very good and came highly recommended. I think in NYC the typical consultation rate for reputable attorneys is around $100-200. Some...

Re: Sibling petitioning mother?

I'm not sure if the 10 year ban applies if you take voluntary departure. People sometimes take the voluntary departure to avoid having a deportation order, and that could mean that the automatic...

Re: DACA to AOS

Correct. It's not uncommon to adjust in front of the judge, but USCIS is generally assumed to be a friendlier agency. All this is assuming you are eligible to adjust..

Re: DACA to AOS

I'm in the process now. Have an approved I-130, but waiting for ruling on motion to terminate. If case is terminated, I'll file 485 with USCIS, otherwise will have to adjust in front of IJ.

Actually, no. He would be barred if he left the country. They can't bar him when he's already here.

Dacamented made a calculated, intelligent decision. He's essentially buying insurance...

Re: DACA to AOS

It's always better to do both 130 and 485 before USCIS because a judge has discretion to deny one or both applications based on their assessment of your credibility, and USCIS is a "friendlier"...

Re: DACA to AOS

In short, no, this is not for consular processing.

I was admitted into the US (so immediately eligible to adjust) but have an immigration case pending. The case was administratively closed after...

Re: DACA to AOS

When was your application submitted? I'm current in proceedings, which have been admin closed since I received DACA in 2012...so maybe that's why they want to interview me.

Wish I'd been approved...

Re: DACA to AOS

I didn't apply for my 485, but I would imagine that you should get an EAD in around 3 months. Other NYC applicants here had their interview in about 10-12 months, but that was last year. Maybe the...

Re: DACA to AOS

My understanding was that the interview is for the I-130, and not for the I-485. I was under the impression that if you have a granted I-130, then your 485 application would be adjudicated on the...

Re: DACA to AOS

How long it takes to adjudicate the I-130 depends on your field office. I'm in NYC, which takes a while.

People mistakenly think that the interview is for the green card (or I-485 application),...
