I've been quite depressed and down for a few months, so I haven't monitored this forum. But I felt I needed to get back since this forum has been a great help to me.
Well I was not successful in my COR case. I don't have any criminal record, and never been arrested. I've been in the US for 20 years, and have paid taxes every year. I'm from Haiti and my three kids don't speak any creole or french. My wife speaks only English.
The judge found that I am statutorily eligible for COR, and that I testified truthfully. But he says that he will exercise his discretion, and is ordering me removed from the US.
He say that I don't have good moral character for working without authorization.
Even though I testified that my kids will have a difficult time going from English school to french school, a high rate of Kidnaping children, I have state department notices, no electricity, the economic situation, he said that's no different from any other country so that's not hardship.
I've filed an appeal, but I'm worried that since he based his decision on discretion, that they won't review his decision.
I dread having my kids being sent to such an environment in Haiti.

God bless you! I am sorry you have to return to Haiti!
 
If you have been in the US for 20 years, you MAY be eligible for 245i (look it up) or even appealing the COR decision. If you have a good legal representation, there could still be some options for you. There is no use of sitting behind a closed door. Just pray that the new Immigration reform happens in 2010.
 
I've looked up 245(i), I don't see where I'm eligible for that. I have filed an appeal. The brief written by my lawyer looks very good. So we're waiting to see what the board decides.

Thanks.
 
Where have you been and how is your case

Hi Bahamas,

How are you. It has been a long time since we last talked (i had different user id). I hope you had successful results with the appeal. I would really appreciate it if you post an update for your case.

Regards,
