Hello everyone,
I am a foreigner in the US under a E-2 visa. I applied during lockdown for a AoS, after getting married to my long time girlfriend. I received a notification that it’s being processed in April, nothing more.
I am a big fisher/hunter. Normally, a non-immigrant is prohibited from owning a firearm, except if you have a hunting licence. I bought a firearm back in 2019. Turkey season is approaching, so I went to purchase a second one, for which I was declined. I appealed the decision with the FDLE and received this message:
Under title 18, United States code, section 922(g)(5)(a), an alien illegally or unlawfully in the United States is prohibited from receiving, or purchasing a firearm or ammunition.
-> ICE records cannot determine your non-immigrant status and you are not legally residing in the United States as a legal non-immigrant <-
If you believe your immigration status is incorrect, you must contact the ICE office in your immediate area and request that your admission status be corrected”
The sentence between arrows is concerning me. When I apply for AoS, does it void my visa? What is my immigration status? Does it mean my E-2 visa is permanently revoked?
