Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

My husband was on immigration hold on December 2009 for driving with no license. He was released and had to go court every 6 months or so. We got married on 2010. I'm USA citizen. We send the application I-130 in 2011. And we had an interview on July 2011. From there we got an approval notice. He got released from his hearing courts on 2013. We then send I-824. And our lawyer told us that USCIS mistakely put it on file for I-485. Sense then we haven't heard anything about our case and it's been about 4 years. Our lawyer doesn't seem to care much about it. I'm frustrated. We basically don't know where our packet went. What can we do?

Hi. It sounds like you may need to change lawyers. You may want to get a second or third opinion on the matter (in full and not just on a message board). Depending on how your husband entered the U.S., the I-485 may not be viable. He may be eligible for the new I-601A in country waiver processing. He may also be eligible for DAPA or DACA depending on facts not presented above. He may need more assistance in his removal case. All of these issues are intertwined and you'll want to seek out a law firm who will stand by you and help you work through these issues.
