Q: My Wife is a US Citizen, Do I still need to leave the Country in order to fix my Status? Can a Waiver help me?
I Had my Interview with Immigration at Ciudad Juarez Mexico, But I Didn't Showed up because I was scared for them to leave me there for a long time, I don't have any Criminal Record, I do my Taxes every Year and I have every single paper work that they ask for, I'm just wondering if there's any new law or waiver that would let me fix my status with out leaving the country, all my Daughters and my wife are normal, no one needs special care

It will be very difficult to answer your question without discussing more facts about your case. You should definitely consult an attorney. Your case is complex and it needs experienced immigration attorney's advice.
There are waivers available but even after a waiver an alien may have to leave the country. However, provisional waivers may decrease these waits substantially. Different waivers have different requirements which can only be determined after you discuss your case in detail with an attorney.
There may be other ways where you could adjust your status without leaving the country. However, as mentioned above, no yes or no answer can be given unless more facts are present.
