Decision on your green card probably won't be made until your felony charge has been resolved.

You need a immigration lawyer, that's your best choice.

Most likely USCIS will want to see how the case is resolved before making a decision on your immigration case.

Since you have a court case and has to do with felony. If i were u i would call uscis and get another date for the interview. If you go for interview they wont make decision untill you have finish the felony . Go for interview when u done with your court case.

As said above USCIS will be waiting for the result of your court case, I would imagine you'll get a new date for after the court proceedings are complete

there is a big chance that they may not grant you a green card for that, a felony is a big deal.

Sounds like they did background check and have a notice of the arrest and upcoming trial

If you received stolen property and the Judge finds you guilty then you should start making plans for your wife to live with you in your home Country because you will be removed from the U.S. after you finish jail time. Receipt of stolen property is a crime of Moral Turpitude.

If you are convicted of receiving stolen property THERE IS NO WAIVER available for you to adjust status because "Receipt of stolen property" is considered by Immigration Law "aggravated felony" under INA section 101 (a)(43) (G) and 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(G) (2006).

U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(G) (2006).

(43) The term “aggravated felony” means—

G)a theft offense (including receipt of stolen property) or burglary offense for which the term of imprisonment at  5
