Re: help with my immigration problem

The approved I-130 does not give you any rights. The bottom line is, you both appear to have final orders of deportation against you from the 90s, and you have not left the U.S. If your wife leaves the U.S., she will not be permitted to re-enter the U.S. In fact, Immigration could possibly pick you both up any time now while you are in the U.S. and deport you back to Jordan without any more hearing in Immigration Court since the orders are final. They just have not done it so far due to lack of manpower.

Since your mother's I-130 for you has the priority date of Jan. 26, 1995, it is current, and there are visa numbers for a person in your category (married son of U.S. citizen) along with his wife and children under 21. Although you're supposed to be outside the U.S. for five or ten years after deportation before applying again, under certain conditions a waiver is possible. The waiver is filed with your adjustment of status application for permanent residency. You're welcome to contact my office since I have done many of these cases before.

Wow, you really need help, but I don't know the answer other than to tell you maybe, but only after a lot of hard work and probably a fair amount of time. You have a prior problem that makes your wife inadmissible, but there might be something, just maybe.

Did you file the motion to re-open after your I-130 is approved? If your wife leaves now she would not be able to come back.
