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!

Did you have an asylum case before marriage? if yes was the case closed? If it wasn’t closed and you were put in removal proceedings that’s the reason you were detained. Hire a good immigration lawyer.

@alex m. It is well with you.

@alex m. Something is not adding up with what you have stated. Do you go to the interview alone? You are the spouse of a US citizen. You cannot get into trouble for overstaying. Did you enter illegally? The detaining is odd and there must have been a very good reason for it. VAWA is difficult and you need proof.
