Hi guys! New poster here this is my case which is kinda odd but I hope I can hear some reassuring advice from you guys. Very long story so sorry in advance ????
My father married his partner a US citizen in late 2016 when I was still considered underage (I was 17) and their lawyer filed for him and i afterwards. We both received our work permits after taking biometrics and socials almost immediately and everything was going super smooth.. interviews ended up being scheduled for 2018 which again was fine for us I decided to go to a community college hoping my residency would be here on time and I’d be able to attend a university with a GC cause I can apply for loans easier. My father had his interview a day before mine with his wife. Sadly this was around the same time ICE was terrorizing and illegally arresting people during interviews so he was detained. (He had a deportation order he did not know about.) My whole world crumbled..my dad had been detained and I could be next as I had my interview the day after and I was 19. I was horrified but I decided to go. I went with his partner and my lawyer..interview went smoothly. I entered the states legally but overstayed my welcome (again not my own choice; i arrived when i was 9) my interviewer heard my story but in the end she sent us home with no decision made. My USCIS case has been stuck in “Interview schedule” since then. Eventually we were able to bond my father out after 2 weeks and then the waiting game started. This is where I ask for your advice because his lawyer and the people that work for him are so negligent and honestly useless/refuse to give me any information and my father was never the same after his arrest. He had two hearings in 2019 where he says the judge mentioned that what ICE did was unconstitutional and the case was gonna rule in his favor. I guess he had to submit his i130 again and get approved so he had a final hearing in 2020. COVID happened and courts shut down. He got a notice from USCIS in July 2020 about the new I-485 application and that they were gonna use the old biometrics in file. His court date was rescheduled for Sept of this year. I’ve been hanging in limbo for almost 3 years/5 if you count the year we filed. I’ll be turning 23 this year and this situation has made me lose hope. My question and I’m sorry for dragging: If he gets approved by the judge will I have to re-do my entire application again or will my case be automatically processed since I was a child? Has anybody been in this situation? I have faith that he’s gonna get it and be able to travel back to our country and see his family again, but I’m afraid that my case will have to be submitted again and I’ll have to wait 1-2 years for something to happen. I have become very unenthusiastic about this country and my situation. I would appreciate every piece of advice you guys have thank you!
