i130,i360 i need advice
Hi everyone, I really need some help and advice.
I married a U.S. citizen in 2021 and filed both the I-130 and I-485 applications. Two months ago, I was scheduled for an interview, but unfortunately, my case was denied. On the same day, ICE detained me, and I was held for 45 days. I’ve now been released on bond, but I am currently in removal proceedings, and my master hearing is scheduled online this July.
I am now planning to file an I-360 VAWA petition, as I was in a genuine marriage but experienced emotional and psychological abuse. I’ve learned that I may be eligible to self-petition under VAWA without my spouse’s support, and this could also help in fighting my removal case.
I’m looking for a good immigration lawyer in Baltimore, Maryland, with experience in:
• Denied marriage-based green card cases,
• VAWA (I-360) self-petitions,
• Removal defense in immigration court.
If anyone has recommendations for a reliable attorney in the Baltimore area or has gone through something similar, I would really appreciate any advice or referrals. Thank you so much for your support!
NO UPDATE ON MY CASE
it just feels like I have been waiting forever. PD march 15,2023, did interview Dec2023. I have responded to 2 RFE’S and and recently responded to a NOID. I have received no update after responding to NOID. They only approved renewal for work permit and travel document. I am so tired of waiting. neither myself or my spouse have any criminal history so why such a drag
