Pending VAWA and I-485 – Now Facing Removal Proceedings. What Are My Options?
Hello everyone,
I would appreciate advice from immigration attorneys or anyone with a similar experience.
Here is my situation:
* Entered the U.S. in January 2016.
* Living in Utah since 2018.
* Have a pending VAWA petition and I-485.
* Have a VAWA-based EAD valid until November 2028.
* Also have Advance Parole.
* Have a U.S. citizen daughter.
* Have been working and paying taxes.
I previously filed for asylum, but I voluntarily withdrew my I-589 to pursue my VAWA-based adjustment of status. After withdrawing, I was placed in removal proceedings.
I have already attended my first master calendar hearing, and the judge gave me additional time to find an attorney. I have another hearing coming up.
My questions:
1. Can my removal proceedings be terminated because of my pending VAWA and I-485?
2. Can DHS/OPLA agree to dismiss my case?
3. Could I qualify for VAWA cancellation of removal under INA 240A(b)(2)?
4. Does my continuous presence since 2016 help, considering I traveled abroad for approximately 50 days in 2024 and returned with Advance Parole?
5. If I attend my next master hearing without an attorney, could the judge order my removal?
Has anyone experienced something similar or successfully terminated removal proceedings with a pending VAWA case?
I am very worried about my situation and would appreciate genuine advice, especially from experienced immigration attorneys.
Thank you.
