Before I ask questions, let me explain my wife's situation. Here is a timeline of what has happened so far:
August 2007 - My future wife comes to the states on a student visa from Kenya.
January 2010 - My future wife drops out of school and becomes out of status.
July 2010 - My wife and I get married.
October 2010 - My wife gets contacted by an immigration officer and puts her in removal proceedings. The court date is set for May 24, 2011.
November 2010 - My wife and I submit I-485 and I-130 to USCIS.
December 2010 - My wife completes her biometrics.
March 2011 - My wife is denied adjustment of status because she is in removal proceedings. I-130 is still pending.
Another important thing worth mentioning is that my wife does not have a criminal record. I am also a United States citizen. So now that the facts are out, let me ask my questions.
Will my wife be able to get a green card from the judge without a lawyer? If not, is their any lawyers in the Kansas City area that help immigrants out for free or really cheap? If a judge will grant my wife a green card without a lawyer, how do we go about convincing the judge to do so? Are their court fees that we will have to pay? How much money is this going to cost to make this all go away? What are the chances my wife will be deported?
My wife and I are really in love and we rent a house together. I am starting grad school next semester and my wife only has a couple semesters left for her bachelors. But she can't get back into school until she becomes legal again. We really want this whole mess to go away. If anyone can share information we would greatly appreciate it. We are so scared. I don't know what I would do if my wife got deported.
