I agree with all of this, and thank you. I guess my question at this point is whether I have ANY chance of adjusting status based on a hardship waiver in the removal proceedings or something. I am concerned because I've only been in the US for 7 years, I'm not sure if that's long enough to...

I really appreciate everyone's replies. Now I am wondering what the best move to make is. My ultimate goal is to have the opportunity to adjust status at some point. If I applied for the GC anyway and get denied, I know I will be put into removal proceedings. At that point, I would try to...

Have I been in the US long enough to qualify for the waiver (7 years)? I've heard that the waiver only applies if I've been here for 10 years.

Hello - I posted recently regarding my chances of adjusting status from within the US, and it doesn't look good. I ented the US illegally 7 years ago and have an approved I-130 and was debating whether to file the I-485. I have two young US citizen children and a US citizen wife, all of which...

So will he necessarily be put into removal proceedings immediately upon cancelling the GC application?

But what about the "intent" of a tourist visa holder who decides to marry while in the US, then file for a green card? It seems like they're violating their promise that they had no intent to stay permanently at the time they entered.

Thank you everyone for the responses. This forum is amazing I think. But the rule itself seems strange. According to that, the spouse of a US citizen who entered on the basis of that marriage cannot be divorced and adjust to LPR, but, for example someone on a tourist visa who likewise...

(I posted earlier about my own issue, input from everyone was very helpful, I have a question about a friend's issue who doesn't have internet) Individual enters US on a K-3 visa, and GC interview is pending. In the meantime he has countless arguments with his wife and the two decide that...

How do I know whether I have to serve the 10-year reentry bar? If the US has no record of me arriving or departing, how will they know whether I am barred or not? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

I can file the waiver for hardship based on my 2 US citizen children, but only after I get placed into removal proceedings, correct? Thanks for your help, I am just getting really worried now, though I know it's my own fault.

OK, thank you. If I file the I-485 and it gets denied, will I be put into removal proceedings?

But I'm confused, because the I-130 itself mentioned that I entered illegally. Shouldn't it have been denied on those grounds? I thought once the I-130 is approved, I would be eligible to adjust status even despite my illegal entry.

My wife filed form I-130 on my behalf in 2002. The I-130 was approved. I entered the US illegally unfortunately (huge mistake), so I was very surprised that the I-130 was approved. I still live in the US with my wife, and we have two US citizen children. My question: I want to file for the...
