2. Representative cases
a. Client was a permanent resident who was arrested on criminal charges and
fast-tracked for deportation. We were able to obtain release on bond, and then
get the deportation dismissed altogether when we showed the immigration judge
that technically the criminal conviction did not meet the statutory definition
of an aggravated felony. Then we successfully petitioned for US citizenship
for the client.
b. Client obtained conditional permanent residence through U.S. citizen spouse
but separated from spouse prior to date for removal of conditions. We successfully
applied for an I-751 waiver and got client a ten year permanent resident card.
c. Client finally qualified for an affidavit of support based solely on the
casino winnings of a sponsor and is now a ten year permanent resident.
d. Client obtained asylum based on assault and death threats in foreign country.
We were able to overcome an initial unfavorable administrative determination.
e. Client who was political activist who had been tortured in home country
and threatened with death was finally granted asylum by immigration judge after
denial by USCIS.
f. Client was permanent resident who had pled guilty to felony in state court,
was charged with Crime Involving Moral Turpitude by Immigration and Customs
Enforcement and put into deportation proceedings. We arranged for release on
bond, helped client resolve criminal case as misdemeanor, had the deportation
dropped, and successfully applied for citizenship for client.
g. Client had purchased a false social security card and worked illegally,
then went abroad to visit family, then returned and married U.S. citizen. We
were able to get a waiver of inadmissibility and obtained permanent residency
for client.
h. Client had entered illegally and worked with false documents for years for
employer. We were able to get permanent residency for client and family members
based on expired amnesty statutes.
i. Client was employer who was noticed for I-9 audit by Immigration and Customs
Enforcement. We were able to delay audit, correct paperwork, and help client
avoid fine by authorities. No sanction was imposed.
j. Client, a student working on OPT (Optional Practical Training), was granted
H-1B visa with employer after encountering initial administrative processing
difficulties.
k. Client came to us discouraged after having paid another immigration lawyer
who advised there was nothing to be done and to leave the country. In discussing
client's circumstances fully, we discovered client was entitled to a cultural
exchange visa, which allowed employment, and which we applied for and obtained
within weeks. Client later became engaged to a US citizen and we applied for
and obtained a fiance visa. Within the required time limits, client married
and we adjusted client's status to permanent resident. Client is a now a successful
business owner.
