I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to question you ICE style, I was honestly asking you what the process is. I’m glad you’re here, glad you’re legal, and so sorry that I worded my question awkwardly.
You did not do anything wrong with your question. I have no idea why you got the response you did.
No prob. I have thick skin LOL. I was going to add, you have to got have a damn good immigration lawyer. This person who I mentioned who started with an ITIN hired a lawyer who used to work for Immigration US. What these poor saps in these sob stories about ICE is that they waited TOO LONG for a problem that was going to bite them in the butt eventually. I also know someone close to me who FORGOT to renew his green card and was “illegal” in the US for 8 months until he did the adjustment with an immigration atty. Trump does that to ya :)
