I got married to a U.S citizen I was talking to for 2 years when I came to the U.S on a VWP pilot program. We stayed together as she didn't want me to leave because bad thing were happening on my island and she didn't want me to go back. So she said "let's get married". We did because we really loved each other and we stayed together for 5 years. But she never filed the petition for me.
We ended up separating because of her insecurities got accused of criminal mischief had a couple bench warrants which all were time served no felonies, but I was picked up by I.C.E then released under supervision during covid. I've stayed married up to this day but I was arrested again (on wrongful arrest charges which were dropped), but still ended up in I.C.E and was sent back to my country on an overstay.
Would I need an immigration lawyer for this situation?
