your wife did not help you AOS and had you arrested

and why was ICE waiting?  more  than likely she turned you in and herself was suspecting you used her for a green card (my opinion only but why else would ICE be waiting???)

 

I might be wrong but don't the police notify ICE when they have arrested someone not in legal status?

Policies on that would depend on what police level does it, and where they are located.

Non-federal LEOs in a sanctuary city or state would generally be prohibited from doing so.

ICE was waiting because there is a criminal complaint by my wife for me. ICE can see that and when they realize i have an expired visa and i have a criminal complaint I was a perfect target for removal procedings. They saw my court date in the system and on my court date they arrested me. I heard in some states it is illegal For ICE to arrest people at the court. 

Guess that wasn’t true in your case.

There is no shopping for greencard. My marriage didn’t work and when we are separated i have another relationship and it’s real there is no fraud here. I don’t understand why did you think that.

Because you seem desperate to live in the US.  Strange you didn't just adjust after October 2018.

And when we are trying to do that I was overstaying and I didn’t know that at that time. I thought if we are married in 90 days I’ll be good. 

US immigration requires research.  Next time educate yourself as much as possible.

Overstay is not a criminal background you are wrong. 

How do people think overstaying a visa is no big deal?!  SMH.

If you are detained, ICE is required by law to serve you with an NTA within 72 hours

not if it is sanctuary city

some police are not up on immigration laws but if searching their computers ,  an NTA showed up, they would notify ICE / still that would have met someone else had turned him in and the NTA was already written

This NTA you talking about notice for court appearance right ? If you are detained first court will be 2 weeks later. If you are detained why you need a nta ? You have no choice to not appear in court they are coming and take you to the video court. If you detained and then released then you will serve nta for court appearance.

Yes correctional officers take me. I had 3 courts. First one was fist appearance and they read your charge and your rights. Second court was bail hearing which they denied me. Because prosecutor was crazy and changed the judge decision. Third court was for reconsider bail and they denied me again and same court I ask for VD and prosecutor has no objection and judge granted me.

What was the charge?  Was this an immigration judge?

I had a relief actually AOS self petition I could apply for that but the problem I had to wait in the jail until it was resolved and my lawyer said it’s gonna takes over one year! So it’s not easy to wait in jail for 1 more year and it wasn’t even certain they will accept. So that’s why I don’t want to apply. If they release me with bail. I could apply self petition AOS. I had all proof for bonafide marriage. House rent lease, sharing bank account with my wife and more.

Charge was overstay visa and I didn’t apply AOS yes Immigration judge.
