Our client had filed an asylum application on his own, and ended up in deportation proceedings. He claimed to have been part of the “Green Movement” which opposed Iran’s government. While in deportation proceedings, he had an I-140 NIW petition approved for him. Attorney Furqan was hired to represent him in deportation proceedings, and argued that his pending I-589 application preserved his eligibility to adjustment status under INA 245(a). The immigration judge allowed our client to advance his green card application which was eventually approved.
