Hello,
I am new to the forum. I've been reading around and have found usefull info but i am wondering if anyone can help clarify my situation or give advice as to the recent letter i got from immigration services.

I recently filed to renew my green card because it was under 6 months away from expiration, Went through the whole process (forms finger prints payments) and was told ok you should get you card in a couple of months. Instead i received a letter denying my renewal.

I attached the letter instead of trying to explain further, I am sure someone with more knowledge in this matter will better understand it.

Thank you for your help in advance

I don't have a clue!

I know it sounds silly but I thought my resident status was perfectly fine, I renctly travelled to paris and back then mexico and no problem. I have not received a single letter or phone call stating that there was anything negative with my status, I filed to renue in oct 2008, you would have thought they would inform me of such a thing.

Thats why i'm asking for insight into this, im confused:confused:
 
I've called the USCIS twice now. They verified that on their computer it states that on may 2007 "I was ordered removed" i'm guessing deported.

I spoke to three different people and they told me that there would be no way of me travelling in and out of the us. That if i left i would not be let back in, I have made trips to europe and mexico in the past month with no problems but a nice smile from the customs assistants. They also stated that i should have been told this when i went to renew my greencard in oct 2008. It sounds like they have made a mistake, besides parking and 4 (10 years of driving so not that bad) traffic tickets i have not been in trouble with the law.
I was told to make an appointment with my local uscis office and state my case and bring letters.
I'm afraid that I could get deported if i show up. ANY ADVICE
 
I appreciate your advice, I didn't want to waste money for a mistake but I might need to in order to fix this and not make it worse.
 
Wow.... you have been ordered deported from the United States. Since you didn't attend your hearing, you can file a motion to reopen your case.
It could be that some alien assumed your I.D, got arrested and got you ordered deported. The good news is, their fingerprints and photographs should be in your file. I could be that someone did a typo and inputted EOIR information into your records by mistake. If you have been ordered removed, there is a visit by a ICE fugitive Operations Team in your future. If I were you, I would contact my local Congressman and ask them to look into it.

thanks for the explanations, in the letter it states that i was ordered deported back in may 2007.
I filed to have my green card renewed on oct 2008, THEY SHOULD HAVE DEPORTED ME THEN WHEN I WAS AT THEIR OFFICE.
ALSO I have travelled out of the country and back in as recent as feb 2009.
YOU WOULD EXPECT THAT I WOULD NOT Be able to get back in, they would stop me at customs.

Just filing the motion to reopen is $585 and a lawyer will probably be another 3 or 4 thousand dollars. That is just something that i did not need right now.

How come there are only negative errors and not positive, OOOPs the ins made a mistake and now i am a citizen, lol
Come on I remember when we first moved here back in 1990 there was an issue with his credit, The berau made an error and had a different persons credit report for him, Horrible, after a year and several thousand dollars it was fixed. once again a waste of money
 
For the sake of information, IN the event that this can help anyone else that receives a letter like the one received, "YOU HAVE TO CONTACT A LAWYER"

I proceeded to get a backround check on myself ------ COMES OUT CLEAN
I checked DMV and clerk of courts for any criminal backround ------just traffic tickets.

I contacted a lawyer (luckily a friend of a friend is a good immigration lawyer)

He later called me and told me that it shows I was arrested convicted and set for deportation in 2005 in a city I'd never herd of.

Identity mistake, He said it was serious and he is going to proceed to file different paper work and prove that I am not him.

He also mentioned that if I had gone to ins to ask questions I would have been arrested and deported. SO MUCH FOR INOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.

I'll post again later and let people know how everything works out.
I hope this helps people in the future if they have this type of problem.
 
What you fail to understand is, CIS is not ICE. CIS will allow a child rapist walk out the door after his crime is discovered, then send him a new card or take his application. ICE isn't forgiving, their business is removing criminals and fugitives from the USA.

So it was identify confusion or theft? Did this person use your name or SSN, or does he just have the same name? If the latter, and you've told INS about it before, yeah, that's just lame that they are still unaware of it.
 
No one can really blame you for not wanting to spend money, but in a case like this, having a good lawyer is a must. Any little mistake can get you deported and you do not want that happen especially since you haven't done anything wrong. You need to get a lawyer ASAP to help you with this.

you'reright i don't understand that. I have an appointment with a friend thats an immigration lawyer, he is going to fill me in and advice on appropriate action. It might be ignorance in regards to this matter (def) but i can't understand how backround checks and record searches come back clean under my name and ssn but my lawyer found the problem by looking under my resident alien card ( someone was arrested somewhere in florida with my alien resident number).

I can't imagine how a national record search which show all previous residences, employment, phone numbers, criminal records and so on do not show this incident.
WHY DOES IT ONLY SHOW ON a resident alien search??
 
its interesting,
thats crazy, That is actually not the person that they are mistaking me with. I already have all the info of the person that i am being confused with.

Its amazing how close the information is and that there is not only one but two people that almost have identical info to me. talk about bad luck
 
You MUST get a lawyer! I was placed in deportation proceedings by mistake, while I was a GC holder. It was a mistake. But it cost me attorney fees and some nerve cells.
 
That is the person they think you are...

Your record is clean, because they are baseing your pending removal on his FBI number. It will show up on his record and they think he is you. When they finally get ready to deport him (you) they will upload the information to the FBI to show the removal. They will also be uploading "your" A-number in the data. They might not add a record of his pending removal until they take custody of him years from now.

You only get one name and date of birth when they create a FBI record, then they add alias to it. Once again, your record is clean because they are not searching the right one, but that doesn't help your immigration status.

You need to get on the telephone and call the Office of the District Consul at your local ICE office, they can fix the mistake or contact your local US Congressman's office for help.
