Being married to an USC is a lot better than being here just illegally. While your case is sad and all, millions of people don't have any other path to adjust. Even while being that difficult take in mind you're trying to adjust your status entirely not just be deferred from deportation like many of us are.


With that being said, it will be interesting what's Obama idea of a good EO because if he makes it so that republicans can't challenge it. You better believe it's going to be a super strict EO

I was simply stating my opinion as everyone else has about who they think should or not be included in an EO. I am sure everyone would prefer CIR instead of a narrowly tailored and, most likely, very strict EO. Even DACA has stipulation in it that do not apply when legalizing through a relative or other means. However, with a republican majority in both chambers that's not a reality. In fact, the republicans version of CIR probably means pumping more money to enforcement, rather than dealing with the human cost of immigration and fixing the legal process. The reason there is illegal immigration is because the means to legally immigrant are so stringent and broken.

My hope is that every group and category that has been lobbied for here will be included, but the reality is that not everyone is going to benefit. People will be narrowly left out and some will have an easier path to obtain some sort of legal status. others will not. It's a very sad process.

So I guess you're right anyone who doesn't apply for the waiver should remain "illegal" because it's such an easy, inexpensive, carefree process that causes absolutely no stress. My husband and I have tried to everything the right way, by the book, increase our chances, be responsible and in the end I paid close to $700 for someone to look at my app and say that my husband doesn't need me here and my absence is not a problem. So if anyone wants to tell me that USC spouses do not deserve or are in need of some relief from the EO the president will issue then I will gladly engage those people. But by all means if you have experience with the i601a and can relate then do so, otherwise any opinion on that subject is baseless. I have experience as a dreamer, a spouse of a USC, a child of a person who children have daca, a sister of someone who aged out, and as someone who parent failed to make any attempt to adjust the status of his children before he decided to pass away. So do I think spouses deserve some relief, hell yes I do.
Agreed. My lawyers just said not to bother with the waiver because they know I won't get it. They said to come back when there are kids involved or my wife is ill. Otherwise, they said its not worth the risk of being left out of the country if you get rejected. My difficulty arises because I aged out of DACA, but I was told by the lawyer that the process would have been easy if I had qualified for DACA.

It's sad. How fair is it to the child to bring them into this situation of uncertainty? But that's literally what they want you to do. The bar for proving extreme hardship is extreme on it's own and not only that but it's not a uniform process. Some will get approved with what appears to be little hardship and others (like my husband and I) who have hardship supposedly don't have enough of it. It's ridiculous. I am saddened to hear you aged out. I hope the President does include something in his EO to extend deferred action to those dreamers who aged out of the original EO.

Yes, I hope I get relief this time around. Well, I'm getting old too so I'm going to have a baby. I feel bad about bringing the baby into this uncertainty, but I'm not going to let this situation prevent me from making my own family. My wife is turning 30 and she doesn't want to have her first child after that age.

Haha I just realized you're the dreamer I gave the advice to just start living your life in your thread about being tired of being undocumented. Good for you! My husband and I too are plowing forward with our lives. I wish you and your wife the best of luck starting your family! It's exciting when you actually when you actually plan a baby, but I think babies in general area exciting.

Get advance parole, depart, return, and file for adjustment then. Options are out there, a waiver denial is not the end of the road. If you want to try the I-601A waiver again then get a lawyer who knows his shit, while most forms with immigration are DIY, the waivers (I-601, I-601A, I-212, and some others) are NOT. Here you need god damn phone books of evidence and a lawyer who knows what kind of stuff works. What you did was that you tried to beat the odds, submitted what you thought was good enough, it wasn't, so USCIS rejected it, you tried to cut corners and it didn't work.

Besides, my comment was directed at people who marry USCs (or have 245(i) protection, or are otherwise eligible to fix their status somehow) and then sit around scratching their asses without thinking to make use of the situation, you have those sleepwalkers that go through life like that until something happens and then they suddenly find out that they could well use papers and if they acted a little sooner everything would work out just great. They generally wake up once they lose their old licenses (from pre-REAL ID times, or Immigration finally catches them and they end up in removal proceedings, or their employers notice that their documents are fake, or ... you get the picture).

If you record is clean, You should give the AP route a shot. ( I adjusted with this route)
This past week I was at the NY DMV and Social Security office with my GC ( Was getting all the temporary jargon removed from my documents) this felt so good. I didn't even care I lost 2 hours at the dmv.
