I came to USA on F1 student visa. I graduated and started working in my field. I met my wife at work and we got married December 2016. During that time my OPT extension was denied while I was still waiting to hear from USCIS for that. We didn't file for Adjustment of Status. One day ICE showed up at my home and took me to Detention Center. After 21 days I was bonded out. After few months we finished filling I-130, I-485 and the entire packet with application fees. After about 172 days i received my work permit. Then we were called for interview where our I-130 was approved. We took approved to apply for Motion to Terminate right before a Master Calendar Hearing. During the hearing the Judge said if the ICE lawyer does not oppose Motion to Terminate only then he will Terminate. ICE lawyer refused to accept Motion to Terminate. I am clue less as to what to do next.
Excerpts from Denial of Motion to Terminate
"The respondent has not provided a legal basis under which court is able to terminate proceedings."
"After commencement of removal proceedings, the Department may, in its discretion, move to dismiss proceedings without any prejudices for reasons enumerated under 8 C.F.R 239.2 (a).... However, the Department will not exercise that discretion in this case."
My lawyer was very positive that it will be Terminated and we will be able to adjust the status with USCIS. She is asking for even more money for the rest of the proceedings. I don't know where this is going! After, being without work permit for so long financially I can't afford to pay anymore now.
Once again, I have absolutely no record of any kind. I don't even have a speeding ticket.
My question is (any other suggestion based on the situation will be greatly appreciated as well)
If they normally Terminate in this situations whey are they not doing so? Is it the new normal??
What is next??
Are they moving to deportation? I can't even imagine being separated from my wife. Please help!
