Our client, a citizen of Egypt, registered his own company in the U.S. He then tried to enter the U.S. as a B-2 visitor, but was stopped at the port of entry and removed from the U.S. as someone suspected of working in the U.S. without authorization. He married his U.S. citizen wife, and we were able to obtain an approval on his I-130 petition. Rather than wait 5 years before coming back to the U.S., Attorney Furqan filed an I-212 waiver for him, which was approved based on the medical and emotional hardship that his wife and step-child had suffered in his absence. The I-212 was approved, and he was able to enter the U.S. as a legal permanent resident.
