EOIR
We applied for I-485, I-130, I-131, and work permit on May 10, 2024. Work permit and I-131 was approved about four months after we applied. We had our interview on August 26, 2025, and the interview went very well. However, before the interview, we discovered that my first lawyer had filed some incorrect information about me. Because of this, we started the process of correcting the issue through an I-601 waiver.
Our I-130 was approved on August 27, 2025. We then received an RFE for the I-601 because we had not submitted sufficient supporting documentation with the original application. Instead of submitting a full package with strong evidence, our new lawyer advised us to submit letters. Unfortunately, the I-601 was denied in October 2025.
We filed a motion to reopen/reconsider with strong supporting evidence, but it was denied again in May 2026 for what we believe was an unreasonable reason. We then appealed the decision and submitted even more evidence regarding the hardship involved. The appeal is still pending with USCIS.
While the appeal was pending, we received an NTA in May 2026 and ICE appointment right after. We attended ICE meeting and court hearing in August 2026 for the master calendar hearing, and I was given an individual hearing date of December 31, 2029.
The I-601 appeal is still pending with USCIS while my removal proceedings are also ongoing.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation? I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through something like this, especially having an I-601 appeal pending with USCIS while also being in removal proceedings. It is frustrating…
please help me understand this
I received this response from USCIS through my Congressman’s inquiry regarding my VAWA case:
“USCIS is aware of your inquiry and is monitoring progress related to it. However, unresolved issues in your constituent’s case require a thorough review before a decision can be made. Unfortunately, we cannot speculate as to when this review process will be completed.”
