Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / April 2005deferred action ?!
A friend of mine received a letter from the USCIS stating that her case has been granted a "deferred action" status. It also states that they don't anticipate any action until May 2006. I am not sure what it means... between with my friend's broken English, tears and sobbing and my not being able to actually see the letter, I couldn't quite figure out what possible consequences does this "deferred action" warrant? > A friend of mine received a letter from the USCIS stating that her > case has been granted a "deferred action" status.

Sorry to hear things arent going well but until you tell us exactly what your friend is waiting on its very hard for anyone to give you any real advise.

She arrived on K-1, married a USC... 3 months later he beat her and her 6 y.o. up. She ended up in a shelter and filed I-360 which was approved back in May 04. I am wanting to say to her that this'deferred action" means that no deporation/removal proceedings will be initiated until May 06 as the letter states, but I want to be sure I am not giving her any false hopes. > You're right..

As Mr. F says, congratulates to your friend, especially that her I-360 has been approved. Am I correct in assuming she has already self- petitioned for adjustment of status for herself and her son? Does she have an EAD so that she may work? SignatureI'm not an attorney. This disclaimer is valid in NYS! > As Mr. F says, congratulates to your friend, especially that her I-360 > has been approved.

Yes, she does have an EAD and, in fact the letter in question accompanied her renewed EAD. Thanks for your help. Now I have to figure out how to get a hold of her to bring this good news. This morning she was convinced that she's going to be deported and her case won't be touched until May 06 after which they'll just throw her out of the country...:) It really helps to learn some language of the country one chooses to live in.... > Yes, she does have an EAD and, in fact the letter in question > accompanied her renewed EAD.

In immigration speak -- if the Sherrif says "You have until sundown to get out of Dodge" it means "have a nice day in Dodge boys" SignatureCertified Specialist Immigration & Nat. Law Cal.

Hi: Defferred action is that ICE won't do anything. And, if ICE does anything, they do NOT have the power to enforce departure just yet -- they need an order from an Immigration Judge in Removal Proceedings to do that -- and guess what the IJ can do? Grant adjustment. The lawyer seems to know what she is doing. BTW, I refer cases like this to my friend Merrilee because she knows VAWA backwards and forwards and I don't.
