What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan

Hello

Its been 3 years and finally something is gonna happen but I want to give you guys a short sum up. I am a Canadian citizen, My step-father applied for my green card in June of 06' and after my interview my I-485 was Denied but then my I-130 was approved. The I-485 was denied because back in 1996 My mother and I had permitted residence through her ex husband, we abanned our status in 2001 and moved back to Canada, My mom's status was removed however mine wasn't. So in other words, My status has not changed and that USCIS canNOT give someone two statuses (I later appealed the decision). Later, my I-130 was reconsidered and DENIED, the officer found out that my step-father and my mom had divorce files but never went through it so he denied and I later appealed it.

Currently My I-130 is at the immigration appeals board.

In December 2008, I received a letter about my I-485 and my status, it was found that my status was removed back in 2000 and that a notice to appear in removal proceedings will be served. Is this good news? cause I have mixed emotions about this cause I honesty dont understand it.

Id appreciate it someone with a better understanding.

Wow, always wondered what happened to you.

Does this mean that you are in the US now? I thought you were not.

You still really need a lawyer, especially if they're going to put you in removal. Removal is the new name for 'deportation' but you're right, sometimes it can be a good thing.

IMO, waaaay too sophisticated for an online DIY case.

lol yeah im still alive. Yes I am in the U.S. I have been since I filed in 2006, just been appealing and what not. My I-130 was approved but then was denied after finding out my mom and step-father filed for divorce back in 2003 but never went through with it, I provided evidence to the board of immigration appeals and hope they will approve it.

I am looking for a lawyer, someone who has a flexible payment schedule, cause as you may know i live in Michigan and have no work permit so $$ is tight :(. But I have a few meetings and I do appreciate you remembering me lol.
