Deportation proceedings reopened for Vietnamese client who was ordered deported in 1993 and who has been on an Order of Supervision since.  212(c) application then granted despite 6 convictions, including two drug convictions.  Client is now a lawful permanent resident again and can apply for citizenship immediately.

Did Immigration Judge forget to let you know your rights?

The Ninth Circuit vacated the defendant’s conviction for illegal reentry, holding that the defendant’s due process rights were violated when the Immigration Judge (IJ) failed to advise the defendant during his 1999 removal proceeding about the availability of potential discretionary relief under INA §212(c). The court remanded for consideration of whether the defendant was prejudiced by the deprivation of his due process rights.
