Our clients, a couple from Iran, had entered the U.S. on a visit visa. The wife applied for asylum based on political persecution as a member of the Green Revolution. She and her husband also converted to Christianity and claimed a fear of returning to Iran based on their status as apostates. The cases were denied by the Houston Asylum Office, and they then hired Attorney Furqan to represent them in immigration proceedings. After three individual merits hearings, the immigration judge granted the client’s cases and they are now permanent residents.
