Spouse in Removal Proceedings?

Facing removal proceedings can be scary, especially if it affects your spouse. But here's some good news: you can still file Form I-130, a petition to establish your relationship with them for immigration purposes.

What is Form I-130? Think of it as proof that you and your spouse are the real deal. It shows USCIS you're a married couple and could pave the way for your spouse to get a green card.

Filing Doesn't Stop Removal: While filing Form I-130 is a good first step, it doesn't automatically stop the removal proceedings. However, if it's approved and your spouse qualifies to adjust their status to a green card holder, they might be able to apply to stay in the US.

Every Case is Different: There's no one-size-fits-all answer here. The outcome depends on why your spouse is facing removal, their immigration history, and if they qualify for any waivers or ways to avoid removal.

Talk to an Immigration Attorney: This situation can get complicated. An immigration attorney can assess your specific situation, advise you on the best course of action, and even represent you and your spouse in court if needed.

They can be your guide through this complex process and advocate for your spouse's rights. Remember, you don't have to go through this alone!
