Sorry to hear about your situation.
Your wife cannot just get you deported by making a phone call. As for the threats she is making, you are best to legally separate or divorce, & get a restraining order against her. I would recommend contacting a Family Law Attorney.
As far as your immigration issue goes, a "battered" spouse (one who is physically or verbally or emotionally abused by their U.S. citizen spouse) can file a special application for a greencard. However, the applicant must be able to prove the abuse, through written evidence.
I don't know what your status is now, when your interview was, etc., so it is difficult to give you any more advice than that. You might want to consult with an Immigration Attorney, such as myself, and provide them with your documents to review, in order to be able to obtain a better opinion on your options at this time.
