Our client had his SEVIS terminated following his failure to register for 12 semester hours. His failure to register for 12 semester hours, however, was a result of being involved in a serious car accident. Following the car accident, our client had to undergo physical therapy for almost 2 months to correct injuries he sustained to his right hand and back. Attorney Furqan argued that our client’s failure to register for the requisite 12 semester hours was a result of “technical” reasons by virtue of his medical condition. INA § 245(c)(2); 8 C.F.R. § 1245.1(d)(ii). He further argued that the circumstances that prevented our client from satisfying the terms of his F-1 status were exceptional and also provided considerable documentation that our client provided to the firm to support the request for reinstatement.
