Final Order - Page 3

I've seen immigration attorneys reopen the order and using DACA to close it by:
1. Paying fee at a USCIS location with a cashiers check from personal bank
- the officer will provide a stamped receipt, sometimes they also stamp the motion
2. The motion to reopen is sent to EOIR and a copy is mailed to DHS
3. Shortly after you will receive correspondence regarding judges position to reopen with a notice to appear
4. At hearing you submit a motion requesting consideration for admin. closure
-again Judge gets the original motion and DHS obtains a copy
-in motion mention that you are not a flight risk and discuss your good moral character, discuss how the case merits closure to avoid using court resources on this case versus serious priority cases, insert copies of approval notices, positive factors as exhibits
*if you do not feel comfortable doing this definitely hire an attorney

No offense but have you consulted with an attorney? If you have, have you gotten a second opinion? I-212 is a waiver and as it stands you don't have a pending case to need this waiver. Second, you cannot file a joint motion without actually getting the trial attorney at the venue where your order comes from to actually agree to join you, this is assuming your case isn't with the BIA.

I travel for work every week. People on here need to calm the hell down. They only check for your state ID for Domestic travel. Nothing has changed. You are not going in and out of the country.

Hey Anita, I have the same trip planned for Vegas this up coming month. Truth be told I think we should be fine as long as our DACA stays valid and we are traveling domestically. By following the logic of the other members on here, we might as well stay home and lock the doors until trump is done. Lol. Final order or not, DACA shields you from removal, that's the purpose of it and as long as it's not rescinded, we're fine for now. But I will email my attorney to confirm and let you know shortly.

Have a great time there, vegas is great. This is going to be my second time there.

Where they successful in reopening?

This is what I want to know. Every single lawyer I talked to didn't want to touch a removal order without an I-130 approval. I wrote to ICE in Phoenix if they'd join me in reopening so I can do AP, but they simply said they "weren't convinced".

To Anitagreencard:

Also, another thing, I-212 is hard to get approved, but not much harder than I-601, meaning that if I-601 will be approved, I-212 will 99% of the time be as well. Bigger problem is if you were ordered removed in absentia (i.e. didn't show up to the court), because that triggers another 5 year ban for which there is no waiver (aside esoteric things like 212(d)(3) non-immigrant visa waiver).

So if you were removed in absentia you need to get reopening unless you want to spend 5 years outside US. Then you'll seek closure so you can file I-601A, if they don't agree take voluntary departure and do I-601.

Honestly haven't consulted an attorney but I plan on it for this journey. I don't understand the process enough to do anything myself. I mentioned i-212 in case I suddenly get the boot one day.

Hey Demise, this is the timeline:

- Entered the US with parents on July 1993 with a tourist visa.
- My parents applied for political asylum.
- The case was denied. However, we were granted voluntarily departure on May, 2000. (I was 10 years old)
- Failing to depart voluntarily, the final order was issued.
- November 2016, I married my USC wife

From my understanding, I need to get an i-130 approved then file a joint motion to reopen (on grounds of new evidence). What would the process look like after?

Sorry if this is going off topic. I'm going to spend more time on the immigrate2us forums I promise.

Are you both final orders? I can't see it being a problem either guys. But we're living in some crazy times so I understand the fear. Fpan, please let me know if your attorney has anything to say about final orders with DACA flying domestically. I'm going to ask an attorney as well.
