husband in ice custody
hiii
so my husband was taken into ice custody on april 20 because of his expired tourist visa since nov 2024. we had our wedding planned for june, but due to the situation, we married on may to start the process of his green card while detained. i was informed that a detainee gets priority by uscis due to humanitarian reasons, but it’s been like 3 months now with no response from uscis after they expedited the i-130 on may 11. no review, no interview… even after the judge requested uscis to expedite the review. i see others get their green card so much faster. what could possibly be happening?! is it luck?! anyone else went through the same situation??

I know some people wait for 3 years already, some just 2, and very rare a few months, maybe depending on complexity of the case,
good luck to you!

@j r can’t your lawyer request bond? because depending on your FO it can take several months before the I-130 gets approved.
