Deportation put on hold

So the USCIS is getting overwhelmed with work. They are halting the deportation of about 17000 detainees in order to allow the USCIS time to adjudicate their family based petitions. Well this is good news for those of you out there who have orders of deportations. If you have an I-130 petition pending through a spouse who is a citizen of the United States and the petition and the priority date is current then chances are you will be able to adjust your status. Of course the motions and documents must be submitted to the court and all the procedures followed.
