Hey, it's been some time since our last conversation. I thought I'd share the rest of my story. So I appealed the N400 denial and the case was pending till yesterday. I thought the N336 gets processed at the field office where the denial came from, but mine was at the NBC service center until 3...

So, on March 8th the N400 denial came. It basically said that it was based on inadmissible as a PR at the time. Nothing else. The lawyer doesn't think they will take the GC away based on my lack of criminal record, taxes payed, college degree, good job, parents and brother USC etc. I actually...

That's what I thought, but my lawyer thinks otherwise. According to him the date of legal residency for an asylee starts one year before the GC interview, because they consider the one year you waited to apply as counting. I don't know. I got no love for the USCIS at the moment. They screwed me...

The interview for the GC was on 11/2008, but being that I am an asylee, it says 11/2007 on the GC. This date is the one they use to determine immigration benefits for asylum holders 8 C.F.R sec 209.2 (f) , which is why we apply only 4 years after getting the GC and not 5 years like others. My...

I was 27 at the time I filed the motion to reopen, and married. At the time the original I 485 was filed I was still consider a child. It was denied because for them I aged out. The wording of the memo above is retroactive. "you would have been considered a child under CSPA requirements"...

I'm realizing that. I found this on the USCIS website that deals specifically with the revised CSPA memo of 2008: Q. What can I do if I had an application for permanent residence that was denied because I aged out? A. If you would have been eligible for CSPA protection under the revised...

When they refused m GC the first time, they were very specific in saying that my derivative asylum was not in question. It stands, they were never questioning it. It was granted by a judge, not the IO. The letter said they I'm free to pursue adjustment in pther ways other than the CSPA, which...

No, not married at the moment.

Thanks for the replies. I'm no loosing hope yet. I asked a couple of lawyers online and their answers were mixed too. Anywhere from they'll deny to they won't since they screwed up. I really don't know at this point. I guess I just have to sit tight.

That's what was my understanding at the time, it was their mistake to deny me the first time around, which they later changed with the 2008 memo. I reopened a case and was single when I first applied. And I didn't hide the fact that I was married. Could just be a case of the officer not wanting...

Hello, I got derivative asylum from my father in 2004. The judge granted it to me based on the CSPA. I applied for the GC a year later. They denied me in 2007, saying that the CSPA did not apply to my case. My motion to reopen was also denied. Then in june 2008, based on the the new memo...

The point is that when I become a citizen her overstay is forgiven, could the I130 be denied now that I only have a GC?

She is 26 and yes she came witha turist visa

Hi I need some advice. I am a GCH and would become a citizen at about 2012. I got married and my wife has been out of status, oh since she was 12 years old:). Anyway she was brought here by her parents and has been here since. It is a long story as to why her parents still haven't resolved...
