I am a US citizen and my husband is not. Our I-130 was approved, but the I-485 denied. Is there anything else that can be done here? If not, what are the chances of his application being accepted without the waiver? Or with??

This may help. Either way, you need to consult with an immigration attorney.

Are people really this stupid? He says he did not commit a crime and you believe him? He lied about it already to immigration and you STILL believe him? What exactly would it take for you NOT to believe this criminal?Comment

Thanks rough neighbor. I took a chance with sharing this on this forum with the hesitation that I would encounter the above type of response...seriously, no time to address ignorance, nor to defend my original question. Helpful responses are greatly appreciated. Thanks, and God bless.Comment

I asked because 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that VWP entrants, once they file for AOS, are subject of AOS rules not VWP, meaning that they are entitled to an appeal in case of denial. USCIS is always trying to stick to VWP no-contents clause.
Unfortunately for you, that does not cover the whole USA (Michigan).
In order to try determine wether he is eligible for a waiver, we need to know more about the crime he was sentenced for.
In any case, do consult a lawyer.Comment

Before he flies out get a consultation with a immigration lawyer!!! Once he is out of the country he might be stuck with a ban to re-enter. Secondly he will not be able to use the VWP again - EVER!!!!
Get to a good lawyer - outline the facts, all the grim details, and let him consult u!!!!! U wont get the right advice on here - u need help and fast!!Comment

I am looking for a good lawyer, we are in Michigan...any suggestions??Comment

Isn't extortion a CIMT? Wouldn't that trigger CIMT inadmissibility?
Also, I thought that expunging the record has no effect for immigration purposes unless the conviction is reversed on merits, isn't that correct?
aneri, I guess you're right about the 9th holding that AOS applicants are entitled to proceedings. But they also held that 212 waivers could be filed and adjudicated without requiring the alien to leave the U.S... But what about those memos instructing officials to continue to deny 212 waivers if the applicant remains in the U.S.? I guess nobody knows for sure what's going on.
The 10th circuit recently held that denied AOS applicants admitted under 217 cannot renew in front of the IJ, they're only able to request asylum.
The OP needs to consult with a lawyer, this is not the place to look for advice.

Correct; expunged records, clearance or pardon mean nothing in immigration process...
