The Ninth Circuit upheld the BIA’s decision refusing to consider the Peruvian petitioner’s adjustment of status application because he entered the United States using a fraudulent Italian passport to gain the benefits of the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), holding as a matter of first impression that a noncitizen who fraudulently enters the United States under the VWP is subject to the VWP’s limitations, including waiving any challenge to deportation other than asylum. The court also held that the BIA did not err in denying the petitioner’s applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (CAT), finding that the petitioner failed to establish a nexus to a protected ground, and that the harm he suffered was insufficient for CAT protection.

The Seventh Circuit denied the petition for review, finding that substantial evidence supported the IJ’s finding that the petitioner committed marriage fraud, and thus, that he was ineligible for adjustment of status under INA §212(a)(6)(C)(i). The court also found that the IJ did not commit any legal or constitutional error in exercising discretion to deny adjustment of status.

I-485 approved for clients’ whose case had been pending since 2006 because of the petitioner’s criminal record. In 2013, the case was erroneously denied by USCIS for failure to respond to a request for evidence and reopened by our office in 2014. USCIS then attempted to revoke the petitioner’s I-130 as a result of his convictions, first through a Notice Intent to Revoke and then through an Amended Notice of Intent to Revoke. Each time our office responded, arguing that the petitioner was eligible to petition his wife and if necessary, eligible for a waiver under the Walsh Act. 10 years later, the case was finally approved.

Another recent immigration win. AOS and 212(h) case granted by IJ Tabaddor. DHS waived appeal. Represented client throughout removal process; from when she was detained by ICE and placed in proceedings until she was granted permanent residency. Client was initially charged with inadmissibilty but later with removability once we submitted proof of her lawful entry. Client married her USC husband while in proceedings and we prepared and filed the I-130 which was approved after an RFE. She had several theft convictions, the most recent in 2009 with a 16 month sentence. Client and her co-sponsor testified in support of her applications. Court determined that testimony of husband and children and other witness was not necessary. http://ow.ly/sEOaU

AOS approved for Client who is from Mexico, is married to a USC and they have 6 children (including quintuplets). Client left the United States 2004/2005 and they’re 10 year bar waiver was denied (they didn’t have an attorney) or children at the time. He re entered the U.S. and then left in 2010 because he had no identification and wanted to avoid any issues with Immigration. Our office was retained for a humanitarian parole in 2011 based on one of their children being very very sick. His parole was approved and his I-94 indicated “Paroled in for AOS.” His case was approved today with no issues.
