I recently found out I have an active warrant for my arrest for domestic violence charge
Do you have a court date? If you do, and appear without being booked, you will receive a booking slip where you will need to go to the police station for booking.

No. You should take an experienced criminal defense attorney with you to the interview.
If it were you filing a lawsuit, what form would you use?

INA section 212 is the grounds on inadmissibility. I would guess that your stop and detention at the border constitutes an expedited removal which is in the records of CBP, not USCIS. Furthermore, if you used a false document in order to try and gain entry into the US, you committed immigration... Read more »

So I'm petitioning for my mother to get her green card. The problem is that my father and her keep insisting on using people that aren't lawyers to save money. My father's divorce with his former wife, who he hadn't even seen in 30 years, took almost 2 years. Finally they took my advice and got a... Read more »
Sounds like your "notario" is working on an I-601A waiver. These are difficult to obtain and I agree that using an non-licensed amateur is risking a seriously adverse consequence if your mother is ordered deported and barred from any immigration benefit for 10 years.

The short answer to your question is to make a FOIA request for you alien file, unless you have retained your documents that show you were reinstated.

Short answer, your husband's appeal was unsuccessful. He will remain incarcerated under his original sentence which granted him probation, either ISS or ESS.
The only potential recourse you have available at this juncture is to seek protection under asylum law, withholding, or alternatively protection under CAT. However, you may not be eligible for release from custody and will have to fight your case in detention.

But im looking for some help with doing the papers work so i can be sure its being done correctly.
