Assuming that your dad married your mother and everything is as you have related, you may still be able to retain your permanent residence under the alternate theory that he was your stepfather. In addition, you may also be able to protect the green card in removal proceedings under the section of law that allows an immigration judge to forgive fraud whether intentional or not in immigrating to the country if the person is the spouse, parent, son, or daughter of a US citizen or permanent resident.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
