More details to this question:
i'm married to a US citizen almost a year after i have gotten into removal proceeders back in Feb 2015, as a result of over staying my visa. it's been almost 3 years since my wife petitioned me for i130 ! it's been a long wait with no status in the country, however; my immigration court hearing is coming soon, and i still haven't heared anything from the USCIS about the interview ! i'm wondering is that normal ? are they ever going to schedule me for an interview ? what's the judge going to do with me ? thanks >
You or your legal representative should be trying to contact with U.S.C.I.S. as much as possible to attempt to have your I-130 adjudicated. Communicating with U.S.C.I.S.'s contact center at 1-800-375-5283 is a good place to start. If the I-130 is in the local field office of U.S.C.I.S., you or your legal representative can schedule infopasses (if such is still allowed in your local office) in which you can speak with a U.S.C.I.S. officer and if not satisfied, escalate up the chain of command or even contact your local congressman or senator for assistance. Judges are being caught in a situation in which the Trump administration is discouraging them from giving continuances, but where relief is possible, many are still haranguing government attorneys in court as to when the I-130s will be adjudicated and continuing the hearings.
