Question about status

[ewilliams]

Hi everyone!

So I have a question.
I am in the process of getting a green card. I have already filed everything last December and my status is that my case is ready schedule interview.

In the mean time I received my EAD.
So when I applied for a green card my status was that I overstayed my ESTA Visa here.

Now that I have my EAD I applied for a job at the airport and with badging etc, the Customs and Border Patrol wants to see me because I applied.

You can understand my concern since I did overstay etc, so I'm not really sure if I am still subject for deportation or what.. anyone have any insight?

They don't usually deport people for being out of status who have a pending Adjustment of Status application, but if they decide to deport you, there is nothing you can do about it, since you entered on VWP and so you have no right to a deportation hearing in immigration court (where you could otherwise file Adjustment of Status with the immigration judge as a defense against deportation).

Just use common sense...why would they deport someone who is pursuing the legal path to immigration?? All AoS applicants are under "authorized stay" once USCIS has your application and sends you the receipt notices. Also, when your overstay's forgiven when you are the spouse of a US citizen.

Hey , I don?t think they would deport you for no obvious reasons. However , if I were you I would not apply to certain jobs like working close to border patrol .

Lol trust me, I am not an angry person. OP's concern is understandable but also common and easy to Google. The fact it is being brought up now after AoS has already been filed means enough research wasn't done beforehand. Before I even filed anything, I looked into it because I knew my I-94 was going to expire about shortly after filing.

No problem. I should add that there ARE people out there who've gotten arrested at their GC interviews but they were longtime illegal immigrants who already had deportation orders out against them. In that specific situation, it's very tricky and authorized stay from AoS doesn't necessarily protect you. For you though, you are not in that same camp of people.

Thanks for the info. And sure you're right Google would've probably given me the answer but there's so much information out there, and some is actually pretty conflicting. So my idea was let's ask here.. people who are in the same situation.
I need to go into the CBP office for a security seal on my work badge, I know what you said, but still there's always that little voice in the back of my mind. I think I'll be 100% comfortable once I actually have my GC. I overstayed 2yrs before applying.

I wouldn't worry about it, worst that can happen is they provide a Notice to appear, but by the time that happens if you're interview is ready to be scheduled, you may already have had your interview and have your GC in hand. Best of Luck E!

The OP won't get a Notice to Appear if they decide to deport him -- by entering on VWP the OP has waived any right to a hearing in immigration court, except if claiming asylum.

Uh... so what are you saying? Lol

[ewilliams]

Anyone else have any input? I heard today that it's actually a interview performed by border patrol agents.

[ewilliams]

Well, I had my Border Patrol meeting this morning. I was in and out in 5min. As I gave proof that I had a I-485 pending, everything was fine. Thanks people for your input
