If one was granted Voluntary Departure in 1985 but never left U.S., and has since married a USC and I-130 was approved in 1997, can adjustment of status be acquired? At the I-485 interview, the officer said the INS lacked jurisdiction for AOS due to a Warrant for Deportation since this person never left the U.S.
Officer instructed him to file I-212 and I-485 with Immigration Court; however, Imm. Ct. told him that case is so old it probably will not grant Motion to Reopen to accept the applications.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
