Risenshine Posted October 1, 2017 Report Posted October 1, 2017 Dear Murthy Law firm Attorneys and Friends, I would like to present my case which I feel at this moment nobody would have undergone like me. I only pray it helps people like me in the near future. Please post comments, only if you have any idea about this or have similar experience as it is very fragile for me at this moment. I came to the United States in 2004, I arrived on a H4 visa which was dependent on H1 Visa(my wife). She abandoned me from day one I arrived and did not want to tell me where she was living in the US. I tried to contact her all means emails, friends and family, but it was useless. Since time was crucial I decided to enroll in school on the same visa status and later changed my visa status from H4 to F1, three months prior to my visa expiration. Around the same time of visa expiration I also adjusted my status to Pending I-485 and got my EAD through an employer. So I worked for more than a decade with EAD and went back and forth to my home country using valid advance parole. So in my point of view I was never out of status. I got a shocking divorce papers from my wife who actually divorced me one year before my visa expiration date in the US which I was anware and I was confused as how she acquired the papers when we were atucally wed in my home country. She got an absolute divorce from the US court telling them that she never knew where I was living and had been separated from me for the last two years. The truth was that she knew and everyone in her family knew that I was in the US but did not want to communicate with me. Meanwhile I was assuming that I was never our of status. When USCIS asked me the evidence for my marriage termination to process the last steps of my green card papers, I sent in the divorce papers which my x-wife sent me a year after the actual date of divorce. USCiS now assumed that I went out of status at the time of my divorce, which was 10 months prior I changed my status to F1. So in their point of view I over stayed for 10 months. USCIS now intents to deny my I-485 for overstaying, after living for more than a decade and being a loyal tax payer I am sad. I have no Criminal record or felony but I am very sad for what has happened with me without my knowledge. If you have any experience in similar case, please suggest. I appreciate everyone for reading my case. Thank you, Risenshine.
