He was told by the judge that he was required to file his relief application, but client failed to do so by the deadline and was therefore ordered removed from the U.S. Client hired Attorney Furqan, who then filed the appeal with the BIA. After recovering a copy of the court transcripts and file, Sunny was able to argue that the judge’s instructions were ambiguous, and the BIA agreed. The BIA vacated the removal order and ordered the judge to clarify his instructions to the client, thus affording the client a second chance to seek relief.
