Denial and court

[ToughCookie]

This is a very long and complicated situation. I am a US citizen who married an Ecuadorian citizen who was being sponsored by his employer. My husband came into the United states without inspection, and due to the laws at the time was able to find a company to sponsor him. This all took place in 1999 I believe way before the laws changed. After we were married almost two years ago we received a letter stating that his employment case was dropped because his company failed to answer a letter that the department of labor had sent them. Upon receipt of this letter we contacted our lawyer, who claimed that she did answer the request,(who is no longer representing us due to her incompetence) and she told us that since he was grandfathered in under his company's petition, that it would be faster and easier if I filed a petition for his change of status. At this time we were denied because we did not meet the time restraint to send in additional paperwork... and never notified because for some reason only my previous lawyer received the denial.Whene we hadn't heard anything for a few months and none of our phone calls to our lawyer were returned we became very confused. We then went for consultation with several new attorneys and decided on a firm. Upon hiring new representation they found out of the decision and we refiled as oppossed to appealing and everything went smooth for the most part until we went on our interview with a very bitter and nasty officer who informed us that although she believed our marriage was legit, she could not find proof of grandfathering. So we were again denied. At this point we unofficially petitioned to a supervisor based on the fact that according to the law proof of grandfathering is solely reliant on filed paperwork and not necessarily approved paperwork. This claim was too denied because my husband's company never responded to the letter by the department of labor; to which they claimed they never received. At this time we responded well within our 30 days allotted time frame to the courts with all of our documentation and several letters from my husbands company claiming that he still is employed by them and that they would have most definitely contacted the department of labor if they knew they were supposed to. This was two weeks ago...and we weren't expecting to hear from anyone for several months seeing as how the courts take so long. then, on this past Saturday we received a letter stating that we needed to appear in court on April 29th for Deportation actions. What the heck is going on? if the judge decides against my husband will they deport him immediately and leave me without a husband and my child without a father? This is a legit marriage and my husband tried to do everything possible the legit way. I don't know which lawyers to trust anymore.
