The court reversed the decision of the IJ and BIA, holding that a conviction does not attain a sufficient degree of finality for immigration purposes until direct appellate review of the conviction has been exhausted or waived.

The BIA found that the Supreme Court precedent in Vartelas v. Holder allowed for the IJ to consider 212(c) relief since the respondent’s sole conviction pre-dated the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (AEDPA) and IIRIRA. http://ow.ly/sx6uJ

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
