Jul 18, 2006OUTCOME: Motions to Vacate&Terminate Granted N-400 Approved
In another recent case, Stephen Eckdish represented a lawful permanent resident from the Netherlands who had an aggravated felony conviction for grand theft with a one-year sentence. Attorney obtained ... post conviction relief for client in the San Francisco County Superior Court – Criminal Division – by obtaining from the presiding judge, a Nunc pro Tunc Order vacating and dismissing client’s aggravated felony criminal conviction. Mr. Eckdish then filed a Motion to Terminate client’s removal hearing. The Immigration Judge granted attorney’s Motion to Terminate client’s removal proceedings and said proceedings were terminated. Mr. Eckdish then filed an N-400 Naturalization application for client. The Immigration Service subsequently approved client’s application since he no longer had any criminal convictions. He is now a U.S. citizen.
