OLDE Thanks a lot for your responds.No my question is whether the I 687 denial will have any effect on his future I 485 under 245I
Thanks

I was trying to say that it will depend on whether the statute under which I-687 was denied has direct relevance to the requirements that he must meet in order to qualify for the benefit requested at present.

I can't answer your question more accurately, because I am neither immigration attorney nor am I familiar with all the evidence and facts of the case your are inquiring about.

No, no effect at all. The I-687 denial is without prejudice to any subsequent AOS application(s) by the same alien. The approval or denial is based on the merits of the brandnew I-485/245(i) filing exclusively. I'm 100% sure of this fact.

Rough Neighbor,

You're a very smart person and 100% correct in theory.

But I have to strongly disagree with you on this one. The USCIS is run by people not computers. They act 70% on emotions and peer pressure, 30% on the facts of the case. I know this first hand as I just went through it. I was told my marriage was fraud 11 months before I got married, and 7 months before my I-687 was denied.

Hello RN
Its pleasure to hear from you once again.
I passed the message to the person concern.Thats what the Attorney has said to him too.He just wanted to double check and make him happy. I understand Unique,s bad experience in the past.I hope every thing will turnout to be good for every one.Lets be positive.Thats the main thing.Good Luck and God Bless.

You're welcome, donny. Ah yeah, I remember you. What's the update on your own case?

Hi unique, my heart goes out for you, because I know, your case has been a topsy turvy roller coaster ride through and through. Hence, you based your theory mainly on your own case, plus on a handful other CSS/LULAC misfortunes; whereas, I base mine on firsthand knowledge of more than a handful of aliens whose I-687s were erstwhile denied but became successful in their subsequent AOS applications.

But, let me remind you, or sorry to say, that it's the emotion that you mentioned (over logic) that overtakes you down the horizon in your journey through all this.

Just remember - a friendly advice: "All sun and no rain make a desert."

Thanks RN.Nothing new, but anxiously waiting till the visa Nos. become available to apply for I485.I am pretty optimistic that it will become available by early summer 2008.Thanks

If that's true, then I'm smack at the bottom of the ocean.

Hi guys i'm new to this forum. Here's my problem, I applied for CSS/Lulac and got denied. I sent a letter to the Special Master and I'm patiently waiting for their decision but it's been 7 months already and still no decision yet. I even sent them a letter and asking them if they can expedite the process to re-open my case so that I can renew my work permit and still there's no reply from them. So anyway, my questions are, since i applied for I-687 and my case is now closed, is it gonna affect any of of the new application that I'm gonna apply to USCIS like work petition or marriage to a citizen? Is there a possibility that I'll be deported, now that my case has been closed? Thanks in advance and appreciate all your help.

thanks for the info. ill call the law office and see what goin to happen.

thanks and more power

hello,

I did not come to this forum because of frustration... There is no solution about this type of case, at least not for me.Please follow this link, http://www.uscis.gov/err/L1%20-%20Legalization%20Applic...ec172007_13L1245.pdf, it is a public copy provided from USCIS. i had similar letter which stated about dismissed my case since they did not considerd my affidavit valid. Eventhough all the affidavits were notarized, i gave those persons personal phone numbers, celle numbers address eamil you name it. Immigration told me that they could not contact or verify those affidavits. which is straight lie. well what should i do ? can i renew anything (work card)?
take care .

rayban_11366,

I hate to say it, but at the moment you're done. In the near future you might be able to apply for the new IAP settlement. But I highly doubt you qualify, because you must have entered "with" inspection and become "out of status" before Jan 1 1982. You must be able to prove that as a fact.

At this time you must decide whether you want to spend the rest of your life as an illegal alien, constantly looking over your shoulder? As we move into the future it will become much more difficult to survive in the USA as an illegal alien, Always remember that you as a "documented illegal alien", are 1,000,000 worse off than an "undocumented illegal alien."

The US Government knows who you are, and have your fingerprints. The guy that snuck in from Mexico is unknown to the Government, and is much better off than you.

IAP involves 3 categories: 1- Entered to US as visitor before Januaey 1 1982 and known by the goverment 2- Those who entered with visa F or J before January 1 of 1982 and 3- Visitor or students that entered before January 1, 1982 in all 3 cases those individuals must have records with USCIS that they entered before Jan 1 1982 and it was known by the goverment. The rest do not qualify. It means that entering by the borderes Canada or Mexico without a visa before Jan 1 1982 in an illegal way desqualify you to apply in the IAP settlement.

Anybody have any comment about Figaro's coment?Thats means CSS is not under IAP settlement ...any comemnt

It seems to me that the new IAP settlement has almost the same prerequisites as CSS/Newman/LULAC, except it's even more difficult to qualify. I believe most of the denied from CSS/Newman/LULAC, was because they could not prove that they were here before 01,01,82.

With IAP you not only have to prove that you were here, you must also prove that you were "known to the Government, and out of status by 01,01,82."

I really wonder how many people will be approved under IAP? ........Maybe nobody.

oh boy ive missed a lot.

could somebody enlightened me on IAP please.

thanks a lot

God bless America
