Hi. to be honest with you, now I got confused with the EOIR-42b form. I'm reading its instructions, and what it looks that you must have 10 years of continuing presence in the country. I think (not sure) that form is used to get a another relief from removal instead of the marriage with a USC.
Also, I am wondering how did you apply for the I-485 and I-765 proir of having I-130 approved. The reason of that is beacause the judge in my priors master hearings, she told that I needed to have the I-130 approved. That's why I had like 3 master hearings and always is the same thing, the Judge gaving me more time to get the I-130. That's why I never sent any applications as you did. Did you get receipts forms for the I-485 and for thework permit?
When did you apply for the I-130?
Regarding your questions, my attoerney will follow the directions on the link I sent you before. By the way, I spoke with the attoenry last week. She said right after the I-130 interview, she will file I-485 application through the court, then send the copies to the Texas office (as in in the instrucctions).
