Hello ,
I got married to a US Citizen on March 2007. Before that I was here with Tourist Visa which was valid until September 2006. But after Sept. 2006, I extended the visa until March 2007 and on the last day of that tourist visa, I got married to a US CITIZEN. He applied to green card on jUNE 2007. And in the meantime, we haven't informed any INS authorites about the marriage.
My husband did not give me any paperwork like travel document, employment authorization that I just got aware of....
On April 2008, my husband filed for divorce with my approval. I am in NY right now staying with my sister.
I called the lawyer to check to see the status of the file. The lawyer told me that he was suprized because my husband told him that I went back to Belgium. And that he sent me all the paperwork for my name. One of them was this deportation notice. It indicated that, because we did not show up to interview, the green card application was denied and that my tourist visa did expire on Sept. 2006. Well I also did not understand why it did not show any records of extension of tourist visa and also me getting married....
What do u suggest? Shall I hire a lawyer who would honestly explain that this was a mutual marriage but my husband harrassed me and played with my future and that he did not give me any paperwork. And that I want to convert to B2 Visa and that I dont want to be deported. Any suggestions please help or advise...
