Hello,
I entered the country on F1 which was terminated due to not completing the final semester. Within 90 days I got married to my fiancée USC & applied for a Green Card Based on Marriage. After 120 days ICE guys called and issued an NTA (Notice to Appear in court for Immigration status Violation) Now Waiting on getting the Court Date.

From USCIS I Received 1797C (Notice of Action) for all the forms that i submitted Including my wife’s I-130 Acceptance Letter for proceeding with the file. all this happened before NTA was issued. Biometrics is scheduled to be in few days and ICE happened.

1. Do i still go for the biometrics?

2. How do i go about getting the EAD card cause i heard that USCIS wont process it any more, is this true? do i have to re-submit something? & what is that? and where do i submit it? USCIS or Immigration Court?

3. What are my options now to Terminate the Removal Proceedings without prejudice to peruse adjustment of status with USCIS?

4. What are the Motions i need to file & how do i prepare for em without an attorney? (attorney quote was 8K)

5. Do i still get to go to the I-130 approval Interview?

6. How do i get a drivers licence now?

7. How long should i estimate the waiting time in court?

So far I know:
1. there will be a master hearing where they will make me admit to the violation.
2. 2nd hearing to file motions to drop the deportation case and grant a greencard if the I-130 get approved by then. if not than extention to deportation until there is an answer from USCIS.

I will really appreciate if someone can help me understand the process step by step of what to expect in cases like this. Thank you guys & God Bless you!

Ask ICE to consider cancelling the NTA to allow USCIS to have the first crack at your case. If they adjust your status it is easier all around and cheaper for ICE and EOIR.

IF you have trouble contacting ICE Counsel try the Advocate.
