Called the cops on my step father, he’s here on green card. Will he get deported?

My step father had a fight with my mom and got let’s say “handsy” (and by that I mean he tried to choke her) and I called the cops on him for domestic abuse. I don’t like the guy so it probably fueled my decision to call the police. It was the first time he put hands on my mom and he got arrested. The police came and got our statements for what happened. He’s not a terrible guy he just has some anger issues and so does my mother so yeah fire + fire isn’t such a good combo. They both had fault in the argument and while they both have their faults it’s the first time they had such a bad argument. He and my mom have a baby together and she doesn’t want him to be deported.

He has a good, well paying job. He had a clean criminal background before this but we still don’t know if this will be counted as a misdemeanor or a felony, his court hearing is coming up.

Do people always get deported for misdemeanor or felonies even if it’s a first time offense and they previously had a clean criminal background? What can we do on our side to make sure he doesn’t get deported?

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

Navigating the U.S. Family-Based Immigration Visa Process

For families hoping to immigrate to the United States, the visa process can be overwhelming. With so much uncertainty and complexity involved, it's important to have a clear understanding of the steps and requirements. The first step is determining which family-based immigration visa applies to you. There are two types: immediate relatives and family preference. The former includes spouses, parents, and unmarried children under the age of 21 who are U.S. citizens. Family preference visas are for more distant relatives such as siblings, married children of U.S. citizens, and spouses and unmarried children of permanent residents. Once you know which visa you're eligible for, you'll need to file a petition with USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services). This step requires providing documentation such as birth certificates and marriage licenses, as well as proof of your relationship to the U.S. citizen or permanent resident sponsoring you. After your petitio...
