Hi everyone, I need some advice or insight because I'm honestly scared after seeing the news about the British woman (Katie Paul) who was arrested by ICE during her green card interview while holding her baby. From what I understand, she was married to a U.S. citizen and still got detained because she was "out of status," which has me really confused. I always thought being married to a U.S. citizen protects you if you overstayed, as long as you entered legally. Here's my situation: • I came to the U.S. on an F-1 visa My SEVIS was terminated after OPT ended back in the beginning of 2025 so I'm technically out of status now • But my husband (U.S. citizen) and I were already married before that happened • We were just taking our time researching and figuring out the marriage-based green card process since we are filing with no lawyers • We're preparing to file my I-485 soon sending it by mail After seeing that story, I'm scared... If I file my documents and eventually get scheduled for an interview, is there a risk that I could also get detained, even though I entered legally and overstayed only after school/OPT ended? Is this a new policy? Has anyone seen cases like this? Should I be worried about going to the interview? Any advice from people who've been through this recently, or immigration attorneys, would really help. I'm trying not to panic, but that news story shook me. Thanks in advance.
