Our client, a citizen of Pakistan, entered the U.S. illegally by crossing the U.S.-Canadian border. He had been arrested for various petty offenses, and was placed in removal proceedings where he ultimately received a removal order. He was then arrested and detained. Client’s wife had a pending I-485 application with a visa available, but USCIS had not yet approved the case. Attorney Furqan was able to get the wife’s I-485 approved, and since she was eligible to adjust under 245(i), that same eligibility was transferred to her husband. Attorney Furqan was able to come to an agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to reopen the husband’s case and terminate it, so that he could become a permanent resident through USCIS, which is what ultimately happened.
