Q: Can I adjust status based on 245i, with I130 approved in '92 after deportation in '91?
My USC husband petitioned for me in '91, I130 was approved in '92. I was deported '91, and reentered in '93 and have remained ever since. Will there be an issue if I try to adjust status based on our 1992 application? Or am I able to adjust even though I was deported in '91 and reentered in '93?
A: Possibly. The immigration laws were different before IIRIRA passed congress and was signed into law. This occurred in 1996. I would encourage you to consult with an attorney for a complete case evaluation.
