Q: I was recently informed at my naturalization interview that there is an order of removal from before I got my green card
I was 17 yrs old when I got married to an USA citizen. I was no longer qualified to be here under my family's medical visa. Eventually, I got a green card and afterwards we got divorced. I am currently married and applied to become a US Citizen. I had my interview in Hartford,CT and passed. He gave me a paper informing me that I was recommended for approval and to have a seat in the waiting room to wait for someone to give me my oath ceremony date. Then, officer called me again and we went back into his office, where he said they found a problem. He said there was an order for voluntary departure after I married my 1st husband that expired and that the Boston, Ma office failed to cancel. He said I will not be approved until that happens, that I have to reopen my case in Boston and fix that. Seriously?
A:
You will need to a waiver to get rid of the voluntary departure order, please contact an immigration attorney in private to help you with this case. If you would like a free consultation feel free to contact my office (323-803-7147).
All the best.
