Client had come to the U.S. as a child on a valid visit visa but overstayed his status. He was arrested and placed in removal proceedings, but he was also married to a U.S. citizen. With an approved I-130, Attorney Furqan filed his application for adjustment of status with the immigration court. He presented evidence of the hardship his wife and children would face if client were deported. Even though client had a criminal record, including aggravated assault, the judge granted the I-212(h) waiver and client was able to adjust status to a lawful permanent resident. Eventually, we filed his I-751 which was also approved.
