The Immigration Judge agreed with our defense, and relief was granted in Client’s case, allowing him to keep his green card.
After fighting his case for more than a year in jail, the Client was granted adjustment of status and released from custody.
After fighting this case for several weeks, and showing the Office of Chief Counsel that they could not meet their burden of proof, the charges were withdrawn and the case dismissed. Our Client was released from custody and reunited with his family.
