Hello. This is a great site and I've always appreciated good advice from credible folks. Please take a moment and review my case/timeline:
2005: I obtained 10 yr GC (marriage based)
***10 yr GC was issued after I got divorced.
January, 2010: I applied for N-400.
***Immigration officer told me that my LPR status is not valid because it was issued after the divorce took place. But no action was taken against me by uscis.
July, 2010: I withdrew N-400 application and applied for I-485 based on my current marriage with usc & 3 children.
December, 2010: I-485 got denied. Reasons: the system shows that I'm LPR & there's no record of showing my status been revoked.
January, 2011: applied for second N-400 application.
June, 2012: Second N-400 got denied & I was placed in removal proceedings because my LPR was issued after the divorce.
January, 2015: Removal proceedings got terminated by the immigration judge. My lawyer did not ask for any type of relief from court. Judge ordered to terminate proceedings, & adviced I can pursue benefits from cis without prejudice.
May, 2015: I applied again for I-485.
July, 2016: I-485 got denied.
Reason/Decision: Records show I was put in removal proceedings. Removal was terminated by immigration court & my status is reverted back to LPR as of January, 2015 and that during the time of my I-485 interview I was already LPR.
I did info-pass and asked a gentlman in the office if they would deny my N-400 for the third time for the same reason it got denied before. His response was: he can't answer my question, but their system shows I'm LPR & that I'm free to apply for N-400 if I chose to do so. He also adviced that I file I-90 to renew my GC because it's been expired over a year.
My question to experts:
(1) Can I take a shot at N-400 again with assumption that I have a strong chance of approval after the turn of events in regards to my LPR? Or should I just forget about it and be thankful for what I have, in which I totally am anyway!
(2) if they do deny the N-400 for the same reason, can they put me in removal proceedings again, like they did the first time?
I appreciate your time to read my story & any advice/feedback will be greatly appreciated.
