Our client, a citizen of Pakistan, had been convicted of Simple Possession of Marijuana and then left the U.S. to visit his home country of Pakistan. When he returned, he was detained at the airport because he was considered inadmissible. Client hired Attorney Furqan to represent him, and the attorney filed a 212(h) stand-alone hardship waiver. Client had a U.S. citizen spouse and 2 U.S. citizen children, so the judge found that there was “extreme hardship,” and therefore granted the waiver. ICE then released our client and handed him back his green card.
