Legal Question in Immigration Law in Florida

Have a final order of removal, and have been detained for 98 days. ICE has not been able to get a travel document for me. Married to an LPR and have 3 US citizen children. Wife petitioned for me. Awaiting I-130 to be approved and wife is awaiting citizenship interview. Have one CMT dated back to 1995.

What should I do to get released from detention in the meantime? Have requested reasonable fear interview with deportation officer, no respond. Should I just file my I-589 to my local ICE, hoping to get a reasonable fear interview? Secondly, should I also request for bond hearing with the immigration judge? I was also told I can file a habeas corpus to district court for release. I need help in what to do next.

You can try either of those methods. To be honest, I would try to do the bond hearing first so that you may be outside of the detention center while fighting your case. When does your wife have her interview? Once she becomes a US citizen, you will be eligible to adjust your status immediately. You really should consider hiring an immigration attorney to assist you with this. Please contact my office at 904-371-3538 or email me a [email protected] for a free consultation. Please include how you entered the country , what country you are a citizen of, and what your criminal charge was for.
