No problem. As for how you terminate, well first make sure that you have taken care of any fines for that driving without a license he got, if he got any. Nothing can be pending, and bring the proof you paid this which is a disposition letter as well as the original ticket. Plus the approved i130, and you then have to get the ICE attorney to agree to terminate.....this might be why you need a lawyer. There is basically another lawyer from the govt that is enforcing the laws of immigration and visa overstay. I have no idea what our lawyer said to that guy, but as for the judge it is as simple as asking for termination once you get your approvals from everyone needed. It may needed to be asked for in some specific, legal way, so this is why I said at least talk to a lawyer.....
 
 
Also having a lawyer can let you guys apply for a joint motion to terminate. Meaning if your i130 is approved and you have 6mo til your next court date, a lawyer would prepare documents and forward directing to the ICE attorney, if they agree they will sign off and forward to the judge, and your case is terminated without a court day. This is like 50-50 though. 
 
 
Dont worry about anyone saying you shouldn't seek any help here. By all means, seek, and message, and post because we are helping others who might have these problems after us and search the forums for any guidance or even moral support from others who have fought that battle and won  

Thank yoy so much. You seem to know exactly what Im talking about. I will PM you once I get a chance on my computer.

Missileman, why the pessimism? Are we not here to seek advice and get some sort of hope in our messed universe?

So he overstayed, you must file a two step AOS. The i130 first must be approved, 50-50 on if you would have an interview for it. If so, it will be a stokes. During the wait time for the i130, you want to request the judge pend your case for 6mo-1yr depending on scheduling based on a processing i130....bring that proof to court. You will be pended til that is approved or denied. Once approved, you wait til your next court date and request termination without prejudice and to have your case remanded to USCIS. Have a copy of the i485 already filled out, photos, everything as a show that you are on top of it. You will either be terminated or given a merit hearing to adjust in court. Termination just means you file like anyone else but must include the form from the judge granting termination and allowing the case to be processed.  
 
I am strongly still advising you to at least have a pay by the hour legal service, or pro bono. This is like a mine field, high risk. I paid 9,000$ Total for ours and took a loan for it, you can't put a price on keeping your spouse with you ! 
 
All I said is all that I saw our lawyer do for us. I have a thread about ours where I kept tabs and updates called "visit from ICE, now going to court"  if you want to read it.
 
 
Feel free to PM me. Not many of us have posted about removal and come out the other end smiling. I see you are in Atlanta, the lawyer we used travels to Georgia as well as the Carolinas for removal issues. She works wonders. She also takes payments.....a rarity

Hello Everyone!!!!
Priority Date: July 25, 2017
Potomac Service Center
 
patiently waiting NOA2! I'm so ready to see my hubby again! 

No matter wich processing center we have been allocated to, we are all on the right track. And it is Sep1 meaning we are in the second month after petitioning.
 
I read from other threats that a lot feel 'this is the hardest part of their life'... and I have been thinking about that. Lets all stay positive. Try to stay focused on your life "at home" as long as you can. Pretend it may take between 12-18 months, so that expectations are being managed. I am super excited myself about starting true married life with my husband BUT I also have a job that I love, a great family and wonderful friends around us. And I think it may actually help us to stay firmly connected to what made our life great before we met our spouses. The last thing I want for us is to check multiple times a day and struggling to enjoy what God has given and continues to give us every day.
 
Having said that, I wish you all a wonderful start into September!

Thank you! We were so worried about coming up with the additional money.
