I got a CR through marriage. I tried to remove the condition by filing the proper form.
But I never got a receipt for it. when i inquired i was told they were backed up and to wait.
After a year of waiting I had to travel to my home country (france) for an emergency for 2 weeks (i know now it was a mistake)
Upon return at the airport I was taken to the office, apparently during my absence i had received an NTA saying that my status was terminated and I would have to appear in court. The IO let me in as a tourist, i didn't have a choice, they threated me with imidiate removal and 5 year ban. The IO made it seems as if i had missed the court date
When i got home i saw the NTA (it was date to be set, so i hadn't miss a thing) and a week later i got my Master hearing date to appear.
a lawyer advised me to reapply for the removal of condition with a letter explaining my situation
I thought I was cooked anyway
But the strangest thing happened, my 751 receipt came in, i went to USCIS with it + gave my passport which clearly showed my visa waiver, but after 2 hours the clerk gave me a 551 stamp on it. and told me i could travel.
what does it mean now?
do i still need to appear in court, I was so shocked i didnt want to tell the IO about the NTA, i assumed they had checked on it, or it would have come up on my file.
did the hearing got canceled, am i free?
