My husband and I got married over a year ago, before I fell out of status and the removal proceedings. I have been in the country for 7 years now andgot my passport taken by ICE about 3 months ago since I am out of status. When they took my passport they advised me to send in the GC papers as soon as possible. We finally saved money and sent them 2 months ago. Now I have the removal hearing on Oct 1st, I can't afford a lawyer and need some advise. Am I gonna be kicked out of the country? I have been here for seven years and never fell out of status and have no criminal record. Is there anything I can do that can help? Is not having a lawyer really bad? What should I expect? Please Help! I live in Massachusetts.
