Success Stories
We love a happy ending – that’s why we work
so hard on our clients’ behalf. Here are the stories of a few of the many people we have helped over the years:
Convinced an Immigration Judge to grant cancellation of removal and adjustment of status (a “green card”)
under NACARA (Nicaraguan and Central American Relief Act) for a person who entered the United States illegally, by showing
the judge that the statutory presumption of extreme hardship to the person’s qualifying relatives in the United States
applied if he were to be removed to his country of birth.
Obtained a grant by an Immigration Judge of cancellation
of removal and adjustment of status (a “green card”) for a person who entered the United States illegally by proving
exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to the United States citizen spouse if he were to be removed from the United States.
Obtained a grant of cancellation of removal from an Immigration Judge for a United States permanent resident who had
been convicted twice for family abuse and who had been put into removal proceedings.
Obtained permanent residency
status (a “green card”) for a woman who entered the United States illegally as a child and later suffered abuse
by her United States citizen husband. We filed a self-petition under VAWA (Violence Against Women Act), and our client was
not required to rely upon INA 245(i) or pay the $1,000 penalty fee.
Successfully appealed to the AAO (Administrative
Appeals Office) a USCIS denial of a waiver for a person who had been convicted in the United States of possession of marijuana,
so that the person was then adjusted to permanent resident status and receive a “green card”.
Successfully
appealed to the AAO (Administrative Appeals Office) a USCIS denial of a waiver for a person who had been convicted of assault
and theft abroad, thereby clearing the path for the person to adjust to permanent resident status and receive a “green
card”.
Successfully appealed to the AAO (Administrative Appeals Office) a USCIS denial of a waiver for a
person who had been convicted of two theft offenses abroad, reversing the denial of the waiver, thereby clearing the path
for the person to adjust to permanent resident status and receive a “green card”.
