CASE: Termination of Removal Proceedings for Adjustment of Status With CIS
NATIONALITY: Spanish
LOCATION: San Diego, California

Our client is a Spanish national who came to the U.S. on an R-1 Visa. She resides in San Diego, California. Prior to retaining our firm, she tried to apply for a change of non-immigrant status, got denied, was placed in removal proceedings, married a U.S. Citizen, and filed an I-130 petition and an I-485 green card application simultaneously. She already went to the San Diego Immigration Court several times while the petition was pending. She did not have an attorney and did not know procedurally what to do. Eventually the I-130 marriage petition was approved, however, at the green card interview, the officer told her that they did not have jurisdiction over her case. The green card application was administratively closed. She consulted with our firm on what to do next as she was confused. She had another hearing coming up with the San Diego Immigration Court. We explained that we can terminate removal proceedings and reopen her green card application. Our office was retained and within a few days, we filed a Motion to Terminate with the Immigration Court. The Motion was granted within two weeks. We then wrote a letter to the Chula Vista, CA CIS to reopen our client’s adjustment of status application. Within a few weeks, another green card interview was scheduled for our client. She went to the interview, passed it, and eventually obtained her permanent resident card.
