A Client Success Story: Overcoming Risks with an I-601A Provisional Waiver
Our client has lived in the United States without lawful immigration status for over 25 years and built a life here with his wife and child. However, in order to get a green card or permanent residency, he needed to travel abroad for Consular Processing, and this carries the risk of being unable to return because of his unlawful entry and unlawful presence.
How We Helped Our Client Find Immigration Success
First, we worked to get the USCIS to approve our client’s immigrant visa petition. Next, we applied for a waiver to address his inadmissibility concerns. When USCIS issued a Request for Evidence (RFE), we carefully prepared and submitted a strong response addressing all of their questions.
As a result of our thorough preparation and advocacy, the USCIS approved our client’s inadmissibility waiver. This cleared the way for him to complete the immigrant visa process with the National Visa Center.
He reunited with his US family after his successful Consular Green card Interview in Mexico and is now a legal permanent resident.
Another Client Success Story: Green Card After 30+ Years as an Illegal Immigrant
Our Client’s Story
After living in the United States for more than 30 years as an undocumented immigrant, our client came to us while she was already in removal proceedings. She had worked with two attorneys previously and was desperate.
In immigration court, we presented a clear legal strategy to the immigration judge, demonstrating a viable path toward her green card. The court agreed, and we successfully terminated her removal proceedings.
Next, we filed an initial petition to resolve an underlying problem that had previously prevented her from applying for a green card. Once the USCIS approved that petition, we submitted her Form I-485, Application to Adjust Status, based on her U.S. citizen adult child.
Six months later, we accompanied our client to her green card interview. Just one week after the interview, she received the long-awaited approval notice in the mail. To her delight she is now a lawful permanent resident status – after living in the US for over thirty years.
Case Outcome and Summary: Client’s Removal proceedings are terminated, and her green card application is approved.
