Has anyone with a removal order traveled on AP (and possibly adjusted status)? - Page 2

File a joint motion to reopen with your regional OCC. You'll need a lawyer. You will also need some benefit/way to adjust your status that was not available to you at time of removal. Once The government agrees to reopen the case and terminate, the joint motion goes to the immigration judge that originally ordered you removed. And he/she makes a decision. At this point, I think you as might as well just wait til you have your greencard in hand.

I tried a joint motion when I got my daca. It was denied. Got married to USC, approved I-130, tried again August 2015, denied Feb 2016. I think lawyer didn't give enough of a background to my story, but we tried again as to why I deserved some prosecutorial discretion, and they approved. Got sent to judge. He denied because Joint motion not filled correctly. Lawyer didn't tell me. He resent the motion to OCC. they received it, and allegedly forwarded to the judge (around July 2016). Still waiting. A lot of fucking waiting. These Judges have a lot of power... You'd think this would be a straight forward decision for him.

He was allowed back into US, but hasn't attempted to AOS yet, so the question regarding applicability of 212(a)(9)(A) and 212(a)(6)(B) bans is still very much valid. Thing is - since AP entrants are arriving aliens, there will never be a BIA decision in this case. So whatever AAO will decide will be law.


Just out of curiosity I sent a request for a joint motion to reopen with the ICE office at the Phoenix court, just so I can do AP. I'm 99% sure they'll tell me to go fuck myself but we shall see what they say, if anything.
