My boss is filing an I-140 and I might get deported, what should I do? 4 Answers as of February 20, 2012
My boss is filling an I-140 and I-485 and at first I felt comfortable with my lawyers, I was in the process of getting married to my fiancé they suggested to do it sooner to petition for him too, that the deportation was very low risk and most likely just to the pay the fine. Today there was a new lawyer and they asked us if we wanted to keep him of course we had to say yes due to the fact that we are just waiting for the response of the Labor office. Anyways, now she says we might get deported , they use to be able to give me a little more of a time frame, now she just says she doesn't know. What should I do? Cut my extremely high loss?

On what basis is your attorney telling you you might be deported? It really does not make sense if your PERM is pending and you are in the US in valid status that you would be deportable but you need to understand what they are telling you and why before you make any decisions.

There are not enough facts here to respond. It is not clear from anything you have written why you are likely to be deported ? did you commit a crime, did USCIS make a finding of marriage fraud. I do suggest a consultation where you tell the lawyer all of the true facts about everything so you can be properly advised.

I would like to give you good news but there seems to be a lot of information missing in your question. A concurrent filing (I-140+I-485 at the same time) is only possible if you have a certified PERM and the visa for your category is available for you AND you are in status here in the US. Many variables have to be looked at in order to determine whether you qualify for concurrent filing. I recommend that you consult with other competent counsel who can look at your paperwork and give you a second opinion just so you can compare the information with what you have been previously told. You don't seem to be clear on what is being done for you and your counsel should explain it to you in a manner that you can absolutely understand the process in play for you. We can help.
