Final order of deportation cases, anyone approved yet? - Page 11

I can't seem to find the video anywhere, but here's her quote.

"Individuals must also complete a biographic and biometric background check and not currently in removal proceedings or subject to a final order, must be 15 years or older to be considered for deferred action. Only those individuals who can prove through verifiable documentation that they meet these criteria will be considered for deferred action under this initiative. Individuals will not be eligible if they are not currently in the United States or cannot prove that they have continuously resided within the United States for at least five years."

She was being pressed by Rep. Steve King, so that might explain why she said it..

I know this is a very late reply, however:

Having a deportation order is an additional inadmissibility.

For example if you're EWI and you marry a citizen you will not be able to adjust at all. You will not be able to file an I-601 as if you leave US while having a deportation order you're considered deported, if you leave on advance parole they likely won't let you in due to the deportation order, you'd need to then go through I-212 and that only gets approved only in the most dire of events (ex. your spouse has cancer).

Also if the I-601A provisional waiver will finally come into effect, you also won't be able to benefit from it. As that is used only to pardon EWI only if you are EWI and not inadmissible in any other way.

Also if you are / get under* 245i you will not be able to adjust until the deportation order is overturned.

* - You can get under 245i by becoming a spouse or a step child (before you turn 18) of someone who's a main beneficiary of a 245i petition before that someone receives their permanent residence. You are then a non-grandfathered derivative beneficiary. USCIS will allow you to adjust, but only through your main beneficiary.

Bottom line, if you can get rid of a deportation order, do so, it will always help in the long run.

Just to ease the nerves of final orders: Pakapoa was approved! Congrats!

great news anita! Thanks! =D

GUYS!!!!! just to let people know on this particular post,, I WAS approved today. With final order of deportation since 2000.!!

Finally,,, Thanks Nebraska!

yay for u!! Congratz.

congrats!!

the reason for the long wait for us must be because they are taking care of our removal orders. It doesn't make sense for them to ask for your A number and grant you this kind of relief with out removing you from their "wanted" list. It makes no sense to me but maybe someone smarter then myself can explain it better.

For everyone who insists only a judge can do this I would like to point out that with a removal order / not show up for your hearing you do not qualify for any future relief.

user "pakapoa" said she has final order and gotten approved on oct 15 and "mdhfinsc" was approved oct 29
Glad to know it's coming soon. One of you guys who have gotten approved should email USCIS and check if their removal order is still in effect or they took care of it

It seems like most here either have in absentia orders or just failed to leave after voluntary departure and do agree if you have the ability to get rid of the order they should do so.

Concerning what's in bold,I actually have confirmation of a TPS holder with a removal order and AP being allowed back into the US by CBP as recently as this year.Although,it is not on the level of a Final order it makes me wonder if CBP may still use its discretion to allow a Final order to be admissable.

When I was 13 my parents went to a phony immigration lawyer who did an application for political asylum for my family and I which was denied since there was really no case. So I got a final order of removal when I was 13 (10 years ago).

My DACA Application was sent 08/15/2012 - Forwarded to NEBRASKA - Biometrics taken 09/13/2012 Status as of Today (11/04/2012): Still in Initial Review, have heard nothing.

My cousin sent his in on 9/15/2012 - Biometrics taken 10/4/2012 and was approved 11/1/2012.

Anyone else have their biometrics taken around the same time (9/13) and still waiting?
