Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

Before filing anything with USCIS, you should review your file, including the application your sister sent and your "deportation letter" with an attorney. He/she will be able to advise you with respect to whether you are eligible to file a new application with USCIS based on your marriage to a US citizen.

Please note that content of this reply does not constitute legal advice or create an Attorney/Client relationship in the absence of an agreement for legal services/retainer with my office. This is just a place to start in deciding what to ask your lawyer.

You should definately have immigration lawyer review all of your documents before filing a petition. In general, even if a person is in deportation proceedings, s/he is may still be eligible to adjust the status based on a marriage to US Citizen. It might be more difficult and will possibly require longer process, possibly immigration court involvment and separate marriage interview.
