An immigrant who married a US citizen in 2024 is now facing an unexpected removal crisis. The issue stems from a past F-1 status lapse caused by a family tragedy, after the death of their father disrupted financial support for education.
Past F-1 Status Violation Resurfaces
After falling out of F-1 status, the immigrant later married a US citizen and applied for a marriage based green card. Their Employment Authorisation Document was approved in December 2025, offering temporary relief.
Notice To Appear Raises Alarm
The situation worsened after the applicant received a Notice To Appear for a master hearing before an immigration judge. The notice specifically cites earlier F-1 violations as grounds for removal proceedings.
Impact on I-485 Application
Experts warn that the Notice To Appear has seriously weakened the I-485 application. Once removal proceedings begin, USCIS no longer has jurisdiction over the adjustment of status case.
Risk of Denial or Closure
As a result, the I-485 may be denied or administratively closed. The master hearing marks the scheduling stage of immigration court proceedings and sets the direction of the case.
Legal Jurisdiction Shift Explained
The applicant has been advised to consult an immigration lawyer immediately. It is critical to confirm whether the Notice To Appear has been officially filed with the Immigration Court.
EOIR Verification Is Crucial
If filed, the case shifts from USCIS to the Executive Office for Immigration Review. The applicant must check the EOIR website using their Alien Number to confirm active proceedings.
Uncertain Road Ahead
The immigrant now faces a difficult and uncertain future. Without timely legal support, there is a serious risk of forced removal from the US.
