Obama Admin. Promises Broader Security Checks to Reduce Visa Overstays - Page 2

i do have a social...it just doesn't allow me to work... i came legally and my lawyer ruined my case and i lost status on the way. since there is no law to protect me from that or i can't use that excuse in front of INS ...i am stuck.

Nowheretorun when u get the boot i wont be far behind let me know if they give you any attention. Furthermore, it seems as thou Obama is not immigration friendly. I understand that he has lots of pressure on him when it comes to the issue but all of his policies have basically been catch and punish. That memo serving potentially 300k i haven't seen any proof that its working to its fullest (still no EAD). I feel like Obama wants to catch as many of us as possible, punish as many as possible without raising an eye and when the numbers are at a record low hell say "Look we only have a few million at best left, lets do something for them. I'm on your side, I have caught more than any president before me." Its sad to say but its really starting to feel like this guy is still a politician and all his bullshit about being a great 1 term president instead of a lazy 2 term president was all bullshit.

and then when the system is real good at catching everyone, hell try and hell fail, and say oh well i tried, goodnight amigos!! leaving everyone out there to hang, more and more you can tell this is most likely

What do you mean by "cases are terminated"? Once you receive a final order of removal, do you remain in proceedings? Or are there times when they terminate or dismiss your case? Hope we hear some more news soon.

From what I've read, once the final order is entered, your can ask that your case be terminated by filing a Motion to Reopen and Terminate. DHS has to agree to reopen your case and terminate proceedings, but when they agree, they do this if you have relief available to you.

If you have an unexecuted order of removal, I should think that your case is technically still pending; albeit not in court. Some cases have been considered to be still in proceedings as long as the order hasn't been executed (ICE hasn't removed you and you haven't left the country). People who have a final order of removal and are beyond the removal period - 90 days- can apply for deferred action with ICE under an order of supervision, and obtain an EAD if they agree to grant the deferred action. This is what ICE just did for the Presiden't uncle. And he had been a fugitive for nearly 20 years.

Something to think about: I researched USCIS's website, and I found that individuals with a final order of removal are eligible for TPS and EAD if they are nationals from countries designated for this benefit; TPS is authorized non-immigrant status, and so is deferred action. The question is what criteria DHS and the DOJ will follow for cases that have received a final order from DOJ, but are low or non-priority for DHS (ICE) to pursue.

......

We all know at least 40% of the 12 million are overstays. They can track legal entries with the US-VISIT system. But there is no system in place to track exits except for the voluntary departures.

Thanks for the input. That's just ridiculous that his uncle was granted deferred action after receiving a DUI.

Does anyone know if more details of the "prosecutional discretion" are expected to be released, or is this it? As of now, it seems as nothing has really changed.
