Hello there everyone. I'm new to this forum and I desperately seek help as I couldn’t find any for my case and my stupid-soon-to-be-fired lawyer isn’t much help.
I don’t even know how to explain my case. I’ll give it a shot!
My status is withholding of removal.
I applied for a refugee/asylee travel document which I got and traveled about 3times to Germany to see my husband, then-fiancé - before they noticed that I was not a refugee (I didn’t know that I couldn’t get the TD, my lawyer always told me that withholding was a different type of asylum and when you apply for the Travel doc. It asks if you are a refugee or asylee which I thought I was)
the airport immigration officer set up a court day which has never come and my lawyer can’t even get a hold of him to see if we still going to court (at the airport they said immigration made the mistake, not me, to give me a travel document. Every document I sent said I was granted withholding, I still must go to court). I don’t know what’s this is going to do to me if I try to return – by the way they let me in on Parole.
The problem is that I decided to move to Berlin to be with my husband. I haven’t heard anything from the court; my lawyer said we might not even have to go. And I just wonder what should I do to return legally to USA- I didn’t report that I left so I paid my taxes and still have an address and my whole family in America. Because I’ve read that is not really recommended to ask for voluntary departure and again I had many long hours driving to my lawyer for answers but he wasn’t so helpful. ahhh!
I read before that the only way I could adjust status was to leave the country and return legally so what can I do? What forms do I file or what??? I’m very desperate as I miss my family terribly - Please help: D
Don’t tell me what I’ve done was plain stupid – I’m beating myself enough for this plus nothing comes or you learn nothing without risks.
If you can’t comprehend let me know – is just hard to explain!
Oh I also lived in Virginia if that means anything!
I hope someone has a way to set me on track.
