Client had come to the U.S. as a child and became a Legal Permanent Resident. In his mid-20’s he was convicted of 2 simple drug possession crimes. He then relapsed and violated the terms of his probation. After having completed his probationary period, he went to South Korea and visited his family. Upon his return, he was detained at the border as having been admissible. Due to the nature of his crimes, he was not eligible for bond, so he had to stay at the Rolling Plains Detention Center in Haskell, TX during the course of his case. Attorney Furqan applied for a 42-A Cancellation of Removal application and was able to show that his client had been sufficiently rehabilitated. Further, he had family and friends in the U.S., and a stable and consistent employment history. The government attorney and judge agreed that our client was deserving of the relief, and granted the case. Client was released the same day.
