Case: Request to Join in a Motion to Terminate with DHS and Motion to Terminate with the Cleveland Immigration Court
Nationality: Chinese
Location: Cleveland, OH
Our client came to the United States in January 2002 with a valid B-1 visa. He has stayed in the United States ever since. He was placed in removal proceedings a few years later. While he was in the United States, his wife, who obtained her green card through asylum, filed an I-130 petition for him. It was approved in June 2010. At the time of the I-130 filing, our client’s wife was a Lawful Permanent Resident, so the priority date for our client was not current. She became a naturalized U.S. citizen on June 17, 2011.
Before our firm was retained, our client already had a scheduled asylum individual hearing in 2013. In August 2011, our client consulted with our office and sought legal assistance. We advised him that we would try to terminate his removal proceedings with the DHS’ cooperation. Our office filed a request to join in a Motion to terminate proceedings with a copy of the I-485 application and supporting documents on November 8, 2011. The DHS counsel in Cleveland agreed to terminate our client’s removal proceedings. The Immigration Judge then granted the Motion to terminate without prejudice on December 7, 2011.
Now that removal proceedings are terminated, he can file an I-485 adjustment of status (green card) application with the USCIS. His case will be at the USCIS Cleveland Office for final adjudication.
