I mistook my paroled until stamp date at the bottom of the AP travel permit for an actual international travel date and entered the U.S. after the AP had expired. They forwarded me for secondary inspection, then deferred inspection at CBP site. At the deferred inspection appointment, they gave a Notice to Appear before an immigration judge. Is this usual? What are the chances for removal and deportation proceedings even if I present them with a renewed AP or even a visa approval to prove that my status is legal during the court hearing? I have applied for AP renewal, and I am hoping for my renewal letter to come before the court date, which is almost in a year.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysUnless you can get the government to agree to drop charges, you are now in removal hearing. You might be eligible to adjust status in removal, but getting a hearing on the merits can take years.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysI would need more facts to advise. Since you are referred to removalm you should consult with an attorney who will represent you in those proceedings.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysIf you entered the US with the proper document, there is a high probability that you will be ordered removed. See if USCIS is willing to back date your new AP.
