MTR Win with Marijuana Conviction

Posted on September 14, 2016 by Brian D. Lerner, Immigration Lawyer & Deportation Attorney

Motion to reopen and adjustment of status/green card application granted for client with a marijuana conviction who entered the United States in 2002 with only a school ID. USCIS denied client’s application in 2014 finding that he failed to prove that he was properly admitted to the United States. Our office then filed a motion to reopen along additional evidence of his entry, including results from a polygraph examination, and his case was approved nearly 2 years later. Client can now legally stay in this country with his wife and children and apply for citizenship in the future.
