OUTCOME: Green Card Approved after a Marriage Fraud Charge
A year ago my client was charged with marriage fraud by USCIS. She and her husband came to my office crying.

OUTCOME: Client was granted a 212(h) waiver,Client kept his green card, and removal proceedings were terminated.
My client came to the US in 2001. He was able to adjust his status to that of a legal permanent resident by 2003. He was convicted of arson and insurance fraud in Miami Dade, FL in 2008. As he was c ... oming back from short trip to Peru in 2010, he was denied admission and placed in removal proceedings because he had committed a crime involving moral turpitude. Because he was a legal permanent resident since 2003, we were able to argue, in front of the immigration judge, that he was eligible for a waiver under Section 212(h) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Today, after presenting relevant evidence to support his waiver, we were able to balance the equities in his favor and the request for the waiver was granted.

OUTCOME: Client is a Legal Permanent Resident via Non LPR Cancellation of Removal
Our Mexican client came to the US in 1996. He came illegally by crossing the Mexican border in Arizona. He was picked up by ICE when he was doing a roofing job in 2008 and spent a few weeks at the Kr ... ome Detention Center in Miami, FL. His US citizen wife contacted our office and we were able to get him out on bond, to file a Non-LPR Cancellation on his behalf, and to finally obtain lawful status for him. It was not easy because he had a minor criminal offense in the county of Miami-Dade in FL. We had to prove that his marriage was for real; that he was physically present in the US for more than 10 years; that he was a person of good moral character; and that his deportation to Mexico would create and exceptional and extreme unusual hardship to his US citizen wife.
