Does that really happen here? I am surprised. Cannot comment unless you provide some case details.

990 to 999 sounds quite low, I wouldn't be surprised if it took longer, 10 years sound more accurate if you are a Mexican national, 5 years otherwise.\nUnfortunately, there is nothing that you can do except bring her illegally of course (everybody seems to do it :) ). \n\nRight now there is a V visa available for people who applied before December 21, 2000 and still did not get their permanent residency status. The visa allows them to come to US live and work while waiting for their visa number...\n\nIt's a sad reality but this is where is stands\n\nShe will not qualify for any non-immigrant status (i.e. students visa) since her immigration status is pending.

Here's the deal.  Almost anyone who is currently in the US illegally can ask for and receive permission to legalize his status and apply for citizenship.  This will take months and months to process but he is allowed to freely live in the US during the process.\n\nThis is complicated to do but mostly in terms of the various forms to fill out, who you go see and the fact that he needs a hearing with immigration official.  What this basically means is that he needs to hire an immigration lawyer.  Note that everything he discusses with the lawyer is protected by attorney/client privilege.  It's a very common thing to do and well within the abilities of a competent immigration attorney.\n\nUntil he does this, he is very vulnerable to being deported.  Not saying people will deport him if he is discovered because in many municipalities they will not (even though this is against the law).  But, they have the right to.  Once he begins this process, they no longer have the right to.  Once his status is normalized, he is no longer a criminal fugitive.  Citizenship will be his eventually.  Just not in a timely manner.

Get in touch with the court system or have your lawyer contact them- see if it is on your record.  Your lawyer could best answer this question but I believe the answer is no- you were not convicted of anything but detained till  released.  Good luck.

The best way to handle your situation is to follow the rules established by Congress and enforced by the INS.  Just be patient and you will gain you citizenship legally.  God luck....

Try calling the New York Immigration Coalition and see if they can take your case.

Ask a lawyer about what you can do.

Hire an attorney or go to legal aid (if you can't afford one).  If your husband has already served his sentence (time served would seem to imply that) then, unless he's got another conviction and sentence, I don't understand how the State can hold him.  If he's being detained illegally, you should ask the lawyer whether it's appropriate to file a writ of habeas corpus.  Good luck.

I hope it wakes him up to see that any "comprehensive" plan is impossible to enforce because they are constantly going to try and find some way to show they are exempt....even if it means using their children as pawns.  Even abiding by the rules that the Senate wanted to pass, with the "path to citizenship", she would not have been allowed to stay here.  She was already deported,  had here stay extended.  She's failed at every legal move since.  Even with chances and reprieves she LOST....but still won't abide by the law.  She's 1 and you can imagine all the chaos when they all try their shot at it.  As far as I'm concerned she proved there is no way but strict enforcement to get these people out of here.  They just don't think they have the responsibility to abide by ANY law.  "For the sake of the children" burned out a long time ago.  To me this is the same as some thug holding his child as a shield from bullets.  She looking out for HER best interest.  They make it sound like their children will be taken away from them.  Some even go so far to say the kid couldn't make it in Mexico because they don't know Spanish and it would be stressful to assimilate.  They haven't assimilated here and don't seem to know English either.  All their "excuses" don't work.  They made the choices and any problems for their kids are THEIR fault not ours.  The kids are free to go with them.  If not, then sign them over to a legal guardian. Otherwise they can come back when they are of legal age and hopefully learn from their parents mistakes.  They need to learn that having children doesn't make them exempt from having to abide by the law.

She must report it immediately to Homeland Security (used to be INS). She's also in for a lot of trouble getting a new one issued, because  a lot of people sell or give away their green card to illegals, then claim they lost it. It's now very hard to get a green card replaced.

I bet she would be sent back because of the facts concerning her past marriage and her long time status as an  illegal.  She should get a good immigration lawyer so she can get the facts concerning her particular situation while remaining anonymous.  JMO

Tell him to go to the nearest embassy or consulate of his native country, they will help him provided he still has the documentation from his native country.\n\nOtherwise tell him to go the nearest ICE office and they will help him.

Look, you've been farting around for six months, now you post here.  I've got an idea...... Consult with an attorney who specializes in immigration matters.  You really need one, believe me.
