Order of the immigration judge for asylum — "Withdrawn"

Hi everyone,

I don't really expect too much because immigration court is not discussed all that much in here, but I am in a precarious situation and I would very much like your input if you have any insights.

I am in immigration court (U.S.) for asylum/removal proceedings, but neither I nor my lawyer received a letter to appear in the court (not even for a master calendar hearing, despite my checking the online docket and via telephone every month). The only letter they sent me says that the date is TBA (and that was in December 2020). Then, this week, I received a letter from the immigration court that states the following:

## ORDER OF THE IMMIGRATION JUDGE:

  • It is hereby ordered that the applicant's request for:
  • 1. Asylum is:
    • [ ] Granted
    • [x] Withdrawn - deemed abandoned for failure to appear
    • [ ] Denied
  • 2. Withholding of removal under INA 241 (b) (3) is:
    • [ ] Granted
    • [x] Withdrawn - deemed abandoned for failure to appear
    • [ ] Denied
  • 3. Withholding of removal under the convention against torture is:
    • [ ] Granted
    • [x] Withdrawn - deemed abandoned for failure to appear
    • [ ] Denied

Appeal: No Appeal
In Asylum-only proceedings
I am still in shock and do not know why and how this has happened. I honestly did not receive any letters. Even their telephone hotline said that they would notify at least 10 days prior, due to COVID changes.
Of, course I am speaking with a lawyer this week but until then I am freaking out and I do not trust him too much so I really need to look for someone more competent.
Does anyone know if I can re-open the case, I.e. via a motion to re-open (so that I can start getting ready?)
Any other info is much appreciated.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
