Widow Petition
Question: My husband became a lawful permanent resident fifteen years ago. When we got married in 2005, he filed a visa petition for me. Shortly before his death last year, he became a US citizen. I then filed my green card application, and it is still pending. I’m not sure if I can still get my papers. He only became a US citizen last year. I’m scared that I will be put into deportation because I didn’t get my papers before he died.

Can USCIS Revoke a Green Card Granted by Error?
Question: I am a lawful permanent resident and obtained my status through the 1986 amnesty.

Every time I would go through, they would tell me that the Immigration wrongfully issued my green card and threatened to put me in deportation. I kept telling them that I told Immigration about my criminal record when I applied for amnesty, but they kept saying my green card could be taken away from me. I stopped traveling outside the US. This was not a great issue in my life because I was always able to renew my driver’s license, which was fine.
