Client is from Ecuador who entered the United States as a child. He lived here all of his life and in High School was involved in a serious altercation in which he was found guilty by a jury of Aggravated Assault with a Gun and served 4 years in prison. He appealed the Jury Verdict and upon completion of his sentence was transferred to an ICE detention center. We were able to get him an Immigration Bail and he was released. While released from jail he had lost his appeal of the criminal case. He had another attorney file a Post Conviction Relief motion in order to have the criminal conviction overturned. While that was pending he got re-arrested and his bail was revoked. We applied again for immigration bail but the judge denied this request. While he was in custody he lost his Post Conviction Relief motion. We filed an application for a Green Card for him based on his marriage to his U.S. Citizen Spouse. We also had to file a waiver because of his criminal conviction. Basically, the waiver means that if we prove to the Judge that client’s spouse and child would suffer exceptional hardship if he gets deported, then the judge will give him a green card so that his family doesn’t suffer immensely.
