QUESTION
Is it dangerous for me (illegal) to visit USCIS office?
Asked on Nov 23rd, 2012 on Immigration - Colorado
More details to this question:
I married US citizen in Sept.2010.We had interview in Feb 2011. I was denied I- 485 because USCIS sent request for additional documents for wrong address. We filed I-290B in Jan.2012 and we don`t have any answer for 9 months. Is it dangerous for me to make an appointment with USCIS (infopass) and visit local USCIS office? We asked Service center many times and the answer was - "your file is pending", but last time they sent us a request to appoint a meeting in local office. But I am afraid of being deported (I became illegal thanks to MISTAKE of USCIS, which they don’t want to admit!). Please, can you give me some advice other than hiring a lawyer (With all respect to all lawyers).

Your refusal to hire an attorney to help with your immigration case is what got you into this situation to begin with. The request for evidence would have been sent to your attorney who would have replied to it in a timely manner. In addition, a "Notice of Intent to Deny" should have been sent to you, giving you time to respond. Your question also fails to state sufficient facts to properly answer your question. With that being said, what is the reason given for the appointment with the local office. If it is to interview you again, then a number of scenarios are possible. You can go to the appointment, be interviewed, and hopefully be granted permanent residency. You can go to the appointment and be served with a Notice to Appear, placing you in removal proceedings. You can go to the appointment and be detained by ICE and placed in removal proceedings. The choice to retain an attorney at this time is up to you. Good Luck.

You will not be deported just for visiting USCIS. They are probably requesting another interview to make sure the marriage is bona fide. As long as you have no criminal charges pending or prior deportations, there should be no risk in attending. You should consult with an immigration attorney.
