Motion to Reopen to Rescind an In Absentia Removal Order and Request for Termination of Immigration Proceedings

N/A

OUTCOME: Granted (Client is now a LPR)

Client, a citizen of Haiti, alleged that he missed his hearing date because he had scheduled an airplane flight to see his sick mother. However, the flight was scheduled one day AFTER his hearing date. ... I argued that the Motion to Reopen falls under the "exceptional circumstance" exception and requested a stay of removal, as well as, termination of the case.
