Your friend is just collecting out-of-status time everyday..

Did you even understand the "oath" you took when you became a USC? You must be one of those residents of USA with a US citizenship certificate, not a US citizen.

Is your friend a US citizen? Assuming she is a USC, if your friend's husband entered the country illegally, being married to a USC means nothing, even if the USC is pregnant with 8 kids like the octomom.

Actually, AFAIK, since his brother had already applied for immigrant visa (DS-230), his age is frozen on the date his PD first became available minus the time petition was pending. So, he will remain F2A even if takes forever for his PD to become current. read this article...

Are you sure they actually denied the visa?

OP, the board has already confirmed you that "sponsorship" is not something that can be withdrawn at will, specially after the GCs have been approved. Unless your parents lose the permanent residency status, there is no need to sponsor them again.

You're right - no concurrent filing when you are in removal proceeding.

Jackolantern, I understand what you are trying to say is that marrying while in deportation proceedings makes it tough to get approved in marriage-based GC cases. However, in these cases, the main hurdle is I-130, NOT I-485. In fact, if the OP is otherwise admissible, USCIS can't even object to...

You are incorrect.

^^ it will be a non-conditional/full card. The date of lpr is the day IJ grants you permanent residency.

You can technically say that he was interviewed - they did call his name to the window and the consular officer just told him that they will call him back once the PD is current. He also gave him a paper basically saying the same thing. Also, the CO confirmed that his DOB will the age on the day...

NO, take the receipt, I-130 approval notice, prepare the 485 (incl. 864) and then file it with the court, petitioning to the IJ to grant you LPR status in lieu of deportation. As a standard procedure for any court filing, you will need to serve the other party (USCIS) also. The judge might move...

What part of the file the 485 with the court implies "filing with USCIS" ??

Just want to update everyone. My brother had his "interview" this morning. His PD is in Sept 09 and he was current until Jan 1, 2011. They didn't really do anything, except the officer telling him that he has to wait until the PD becomes current and then they will contact him to do the...
