Our client, a citizen of Nepal, came to the U.S. as a visitor. He changed status to a student and then to L-1A, and finally applied for asylum. The asylum application was referred to court, and the judge granted the asylum application after Attorney Furqan and the government attorney came to an agreement on the case. The judge was initially concerned about whether our client had filed his application within 1 year of arriving in the U.S., but after hearing oral arguments from Attorney Furqan and the government attorney, the judge agreed to approve the case. An I-730 was then filed to bring client’s spouse to the U.S., and both are now permanent residents.
