I'm back I'm back I'm back!!!
LOL
Just wanted to stop by & fill you in on whats been happening...
So my husband finally was picked up by ICE on Dec 9, 2008...He was sent to the Immigration Detention Center about 40 minutes from where we live...The judge still hadnt made his decesion about him being deported or not...So finally, we received the decesion from the IJ on Dec 15, 2008...He was ordered deported because we didnt have the proof they needed in order for my husband to become a derivative citizen through his father...Thats what the lawyer was trying to prove...I picked up the decision from the attorney & hand delivered it to my husbands deportation officer...The holiays came and nothing was done for a little while...Finally on January 15, 2009, my husband met up with his D/O and signed his 90 day waiting period along with some other papers...Those papers were mailed to the Venezuelan Consulate on January 21, 2009...The consulate recieved the papers on January 23, 2009...Between all that time, I took it upon myself and went to several different consulates from other countries with a letter asking them to please accept my husband because his country was not going to accept him back...I was able to get letters from Jamaica, Trinidad, Antigua, Panama & Mexico...All saying that they would not accept my husband because he was not a citizen of that country and because he did not have a passport...I also had letters written from all the family members stating why he should be released & why he would not be a 'danger to the community'...I was also able to get job offers from 2 family memebers that own their own companies...I hired an attorney so she can get him out on an 'order of supervision' before his 90 days & also to try to avoid him being there the 180 days if things got complicated...So, last week, on February 10th, ICE recieved the decision from the Consulate saying that they were not going to accpet him...While all of this was happening my husband was transfered to a county jail about 2 hours away because they needed 'bed space' at the other place...So my attorney got in contact with his D/O and spoke about the order of supervision and he told her to send him all the papers we had and as soon as he recieved them, he would review the file, and call my husband 1 more time and sign off on the papers...My husbands 90 days were supposed to be on March 15...But his D/O will recieve the attorneys papers next week...So my husband will be released on an order of supervision in about a week or two!!!!! He will be given a work permit to work...But has no citizenship...He will be listed as 'stateless'...After a few years, maybe 5 or a little more, he can apply for his residency again...Or after 10 years or a little more, I can petition for him...Regardless, HE'S FREE & in the USA!!!!! Thanx for your help!!
