Today, one of our clients won his case in front of an Immigration Judge. When he was young, he did a number of foolish things, and ended up being convicted of several felonies. He went to prison in the mid-1990s for over one year. After that, he spent one year in Immigration custody. He has been a “free” man since then, except for the deportation case that hung over him until today.
Because of our client’s criminal history, we had to provide the judge with proof that our client has undergone significant rehabilitation, that he has been taking care of his wife and his children, that he has been working and paying his taxes, and that he has been performing community service. Working closely with out client, and some devoted members of his family, we did all that and more. At his big hearing, after our client testified, members of his family testified. His wife was the best witness. We knew that she would be.
After our client’s wife finished testifying, the attorney for the Department of Homeland Security informed the judge that the witnesses were credible, and that our client had proven that he has really changed his ways. The judge approved his case, our client cried like a baby, and everyone was happy. The DHS attorney accepted the judge's decision as final and will not appeal the favorable decision. We couldn't have asked for anything more!
