I will let the forum know how my friend gets on as it is nice to be able to refer to personal experiences
Hi:

I driving up to Lancaster tomorrow to try a removal case -- guy filed for adjustment in 2000 and it was the cleanest immigration case you've ever seen. I'll let him know that there is nothing to worry about from DHS and Department of Justice.

He is one of my poster children on why advance parole can be a really DUMB move. The one in Lancaster wear an organge jumpsuit while the one in San Pedro wears blue. However, with the onset of winter, it gets cold in the desert so my client was wearing a blue denim jacket over the organge when I saw him over the weekend.

I hate visiting clients in detention -- I feel kind of guilty because I get to leave.

Honestly, we believe you! :-)

Can you tell us WHAT happened - WHY is he in removal? Because someone had a
bad day and decided "Hey, I don't like the shirt you're wearing"?

At which point does the problem of AP go away? Once AOS is done? Once a
person is naturalized?

The need for (and associated problems with) AP goes away once you have your PR status.

Thanks. I'm assuming PR includes the subset of CPR?

Well your time frame on the green card doesn't surprise me. My wife is at 33 months and a projected wait of another 12-13 months for interview...so she may surpass your four years.
