New ICE memo stops deporting long term non-criminal illegals, effective NOW - Page 4

This made my freaking day man now i can go to bed and have a goodnight sleep :b so happy now ima dream that the DA passes

Hello 2H2F!

Filing for asylum is one of the reasons why someone is in removal proceedings . You have to appear in front of an immigration judge and if your case is not approved you are subject to deportation. The only thing that would prevent your removal is a strong argument.

Another example is someone who is detained by ICE ( Immigration and Customs Enforcement). This person is in removal proceedings meaning that his/her case could either be approved or not. If you are approved then you will be released otherwise you have to return to your native country.

If you are not approved I think the judge asks you if you want voluntary departure or if you want to get deported ( I'm not too sure about this one but I think that's how it is). Both voluntary departure and deportation mean the same thing ( deportation) but I think that with voluntary departure you pay for your own flight (if you're detained).

Voluntary departure is more beneficial because you could reenter the U.S LEGALLY 3-10 years after you go back to your country. It all depends on the judges decision I guess. With deportation you won't be able to reenter for 10 years.

I hope this helps.

HAHAHAHAHA

oh gawd..

this is the best bit of news I've seen in a few years to ppl in our situation.

You have to be applying to stay in the country.

Oops sorry ECW..I accidentally reported your post lol..sorry..

So basically..this news is irrelevant to a lot of us (if not most).. :sadface:

To clarify (I read the article already)...Is it talking about the deportation cases against

A) people currently without status who already applied and are CURRENTLY waiting for citizen ship/P.R. to come through..

or..

B) people without status who have applied previously for citizen ship/P.R. but overstayed/something went wrong and now, have no status (illegal) ?


If it's B)..I'll go to sleep everynight worry-free about ICE raiding my house when I am not related in any crime...but I think it's most likely to be for A) people.

Is this a law that is in effect?

it's more of a policy rather than a written law, something like an executive order issued from DHS

Then the DREAMers should be getting some kind of a Temporary Protected Status right? Like a card or something?

Is this an official thing?

No, this is not the other memo. This is just DHS choosing not to push for deportation of people like us, it does not qualify us for any kind of pernament or temporary status. It's kinda like saying "we don't want you here but we will wait a bit before we kick you out", on the bright side it seems that if your case gets dropped you can apply through a spouse without getting a ban from US.

Hi... I saw this message and maybe you know about my situation

do you know if the new ICE memo will help my case?

I came here with my turist visa on abril 2003 then I tried to get an assium on 2004 and was denied and I got voluntary departure to leave the country by 08/03/2005 but I never left... Then I got married with a US citizen on nov 2008 and I we did the I130 and got approved like 3 months ago but after that we didnt do the next step because the 10 years ban. We have 3 kids ( american citizens) and all my family ( mom, sister and brother are citizens too) I am just wondering if this new ICE memo can help me

thank you for your time....
