http://ow.ly/vx9nj Preliminary Settlement Agreement in Duran-Gonzales v. DHS
The U.S. district court in Washington granted preliminary approval of a settlement agreement in Duran-Gonzales v. DHS. This class action lawsuit challenged DHS’s contention that individuals who were removed or deported are not eligible to apply for adjustment of status under INA §245(i) with an accompanying I-212 waiver. The settlement agreement would allow certain qualifying class members to request that USCIS reopen their Forms I-212 and I-485 on service motion.
