Consular Processing
Hi, I have a question and I'm wondering if anyone has been in the same situation.
I was ordered removed in absentia in 2005. I got married to an US Citizen, and had my I-130 approved in 2020. I filed a MTR in May of 2021, it was granted. I went back to court in August of 2021 and go my case administratively closed. That way I could proceed with my I-601a.
My question is, will I have the 5 year bar for having an in absentia order? I am not sure if my removal order was rescinded. My MTR was granted "sua sponte".

Your order needs to be terminated before you leave for your consular interview. the I-601a does not waive removal orders, only unlawful presence
