Change of venue? New Judge?

It is my understanding that ICE won't consent to a joint motion until the I-130 is approved. I'd rather not wait until then to reopen since that would add a few months of delay. So my hope is to file a motion to reopen, then, depending on which judge the case gets assigned to, to file either a motion to terminate (since one judge is more open to granting those when adjusting through USC spouse) or a motion to change venue to NYC (since another judge would deny motion to terminate, but might grant change venue) given that my case is in a different jurisdiction. I plan to file a motion to terminate or change venue regardless of whether ICE does a joint motion or agrees not to oppose. I'm hoping they won't outright oppose.
