Thanks Sylvia! Can you tell me how sure are you regarding this matter. Also, can you tell me anything about consulor filing, that is how long does it take and how things are processed in this proceedure? Thanks again!

First, please leave the previous material in the post when you reply. I had
to go to Google to figure out which situation you were talking about.

Second, when I am sure, I make the statement. When I am not sure, I say
"probably," "usually," "most likely," etc. However, I have been wrong in
the past, of course.

You can read all about adjustment yourself at
http://www.immigration.gov/graphics/lawsregs/ina.htm. It's at INA section
245.

As for the timing of consular filing, it depends. If there is an approved
relative petition, and it has been sent to the National Visa Center, the
consular immigrant visa interview could be scheduled within a few months.

That whole thing about "arriving alien" and having to "adjust" your status
out of US and in your country sounds odd to me. I don't know much about
removal, but I would suggest you get a second opinion from a competent
immigration lawyer.
