Immigration Appeal to AAO
N/AOUTCOME: Appeal Granted
Client and her husband adopted an orphan in Taiwan whose mother was serving life in prison and whose father was unknown. Client wanted to return to the United States to be closer to her biological chil ... dren who were attending college. She filed an application for citizenship for her adopted son. She found the process very frustrating and spent about a year attempting to get the correct documentation to the USCIS officer handling her case. Ultimately, the application was denied. At this time, Client hired Hubbs Law. E.J. Worked quickly and filed an appeal within 30 days of the decision. E.J. supplemented Client’s original application with almost 300 pages of supporting documents to prove her son’s case. In May of 2016, the Administrative Appeals Office overturned the USCIS officers decision and now Client’s son will have his opportunity to obtain citizenship.
