Our client, a citizen of Mexico, entered the U.S. (without inspection) as a child in 1984. She had been in the U.S. since that time. Her deceased father filed an I-130 for her in 1992. She married a U.S. citizen, but waited 10 years before hiring an attorney to file for permanent residency. Attorney Furqan filed her permanent residency application in 2000 and provided evidence of her 245(i) eligibility, along with evidence of her presence in the U.S.. After an interview, USCIS approved our client’s application for permanent residency. At the age of 38, our client was finally able to come out of the shadows, and obtain a social security number, driver’s license, and employment.
