Guy legally arrives in 2015 from Cameroon. In 2016, gets married to US citizen and applies for green card.

In 2022, 6 years later, green card application is rejected on suspicion of sham marriage

After rejection he was ordered 3 times to appear at an immigration hearing, 3 times he no-shows, after the third his deportation is ordered.

I guess at some point, his visa expired.

NOPD said he has a drivers license, social security number, and passed e-verify.

Additionally, supposedly e-verify does not provide information regarding migration court proceedings or federal enforcement actions

Dude skipped out on three hearings, he deserves to be deported.

But how in the hell does it take 6 years to rule on a green card app, and why does e-verify not include immigration data?

And how was his DL and SSN not invalidated when his visa expired?

If I don't pay my taxes, or if I pay the wrong amount, I am getting a response in weeks not months, and definitely not years.

4 of these years were under the Deep State fake Biden administration.

Problem here is the SS Administration, Local DMV and the US Citizenship & Immigration Services are 3 different agencies (one is a state which makes it exponentially worse). All three of those have to communicate with each other and that rarely happens quickly.

If you don't pay taxes, that is typically all under the roof of the IRS and that is only quick if the system is set up to trigger a quick notice. Present day, there are a shitload of cases where the IRS isn't noticing underpayment for years.

Watch what happens if the SS administration has a different withholding than you have listed on your W-2. It takes sooooooo much longer for you to get a notice because that requires a communication between the SSA and IRS. I came across an issue for a client from 2023 that the IRS and SS Administration have not noticed and it exceeds 100k being underpaid. 3 years on and zero notice.

I can agree that the pathway to citizenship needs to be overhauled and improved for those legally seeking it.

If you purposely do not show up three times for your immigration hearings then you forfeit any claim you may have built to stay here.

My thought playing devil's advocate is how did immigration order him to appear at a hearing? Was it certified mail or served a subpoena? If it was just a letter mailed, how do they know his current mailing address? I'm for deporting people with deportation orders for not showing up to their hearing, but do they have to notify the governement every time they move? Idk, I'm just trying to learn about the system. This guy definitely knew he wasn't a citizen though, so good riddance.

The pathway for those legally trying is backed up because of all the bs asylum claims allowed.

Why?

Do people just regurgitate what they hear from politicians?

I went thru the process and I don’t think it needs to be changed!

If all of that is true, then yes, we have a mess...

No, that is my personal opinion. Does every opinion that differs from you automatically get tagged as someone doesn't think for themselves?

Glad it worked for you, but MY opinion stands. Sorry, not sorry that ruffles you some.

Can't speak on the e-verify stuff but he most likely had to apply for the green card multiple times and they caught it in the process

I.e. they gave him a two year, approved another two on a renewal and then rejected the reapply

If he was in NOLA pretty shocked he wasn't ordered removed the 1st time. Possible his NTA was defective, but they typically weren't refiling defective ones in that time frame.

e-Verify is only for if the person is authorized to work, which given the rest of the evidence (DL and SSN) and the fact he was applying for residency gives him employment authorization, then it is not a surprise that he passed e-Verify check.

What I think NOPD is lying about is his FBI background check. I've done literally 1000's of FBI background checks, and immigration violations come up 99.9% of the time (that .1% is border incidents not relevant here). There's 0% chance NOPD didn't know he was in proceedings.

Average processing time for his type of case is over 12 months. Usually takes 3-6 months for court hearing, and if he true he had 3, then now you are looking at another up to 18 months. That's all assuming he filed his application in 2016 when he was married.

In LA (and most other states in the South) having a work permit gives you the ability to get a work permit, visa status is irrelevant.

Case law says it is irrelevant as long as the notice is statutorily complete (date, time, and location of court being the big issue SCOTUS cared about). If the address provided is deficient in some way and the notice gets returned, that still constitutes notice.

Statutorily yes, and ICE if they have check-in's

Feel free to ask follow ups.

I don't even think it needs to be overhauled. We just have to divert so much of our immigration resources and judges to dealing with illegal immigration, that it leaves very little processing power for the legal cases. If we can flip flop that, a lot of the headaches with legal immigration will be greatly reduced.

The process has to take years. If it was only a few years you would have more fake marriages.

Are you serious? Have you ever seen the people that fricking work at social security department, DMV, government in general. It's basically a fricking welfare program where they go clock in for an 8 hour day. We are so fricked!
