863211, thank you so much for your prompt response. I am looking for an immigration lawyer right now. At the mean time, there are couple more questions that I am hoping you can answer.
Additional question: When I filed my I-485 back in 2007, I already paid a criminal lawyer to write a letter of Legal Opinion.
In the letter, the lawyer clearly stated that my conviction is not a violation of a law or regulation of any state, the
I submitted this letter with my I-485 application. Is it possible that the local INS officer is not familiar with this law or just simply didn't read that letter of Legal Opinion? Or has the law changed since 2007? Do I need to make an appointment to visit the local INS office and if so, how do I make it?
Again, thank you so much for your help! I am in such a dire situation so I am truly grateful for your kindness!
