I got married with my wife who is a U.S citizen in June 2011. we filed I-130 and I-485 in Sept 2011. We went for interviewed in Feb 2012 but didn't go well. We received a letter of Intent to denied in April 2013 due to insufficient documents. We responded with new documents to support our marriage but ignorantly submitted a falsified apartment lease document because when we rented the apartment my wife just lost are job and she was also a victim of identity theft so our application for the apartment was denied. I had to ask a friend to co-sponsor in order to get the apartment which he did. But when we submitted the lease document, we altered my friend's name and my wife name was included in the lease. Unfortunately the USCIS found out of this falsification and we were sent a second notice of intent to denied my application of adjustment of status. So we contacted a lawyer who advice us to withdraw the entire application and refiled. In June 2013 application was withdrawn. Our lawyer also advice that we should go to the management of the building where we live and requested that my wife's name should be included in the lease which the management agreed. So we resubmitted this document including our two years wedding anniversary photos which was held in June 2013. In September 10, 2013. we received a receipt from the uscis and a bio-metric appointment was schedule for Oct 9. However, on Sept 17, we received a letter of Notice of Hearing on Removal Proceedings and a scheduled date for Master Hearing based on our previous application which was withdrawn.

Please kindly share your opinion.
 
Anyone, correct me if I am wrong but you cannot withdraw an application that has been adjudicated. You have admitted knowingly submitting falsified documents to a government agency which itself is a crime in the United States and anywhere else in the world for that matter. I do not see how refiling a new application can help your case. I would advise seeking the opinion of another lawyer who may be able to advise you further. In any case, make sure you are accompanied by competent legal counsel at the Master Hearing who may be able to present any mitigating circumstances for consideration, if any.

Good Luck
 
In my opinion the case had not been denied. Notice of Intent to Deny means the CIS is about to deny your application, but it's giving you some time to come up with additional evidence that supports your case. Because it hadn't been adjudicated, it could still be withdrawn.

However, even if the application has been withdrawn, the fact of the matter is that CIS has caught you lying on an application. This is one of the most serious immigration offenses, one that can get LPR or even citizenship revoked.

My only advice is to get an immigration lawyer that specializes in deportation defense. This is far too serious for any layman on the forum.
