Saving Conditional Green Cards In Removal Proceedings
Are you suddenly facing deportation proceedings because you and your wife seperated while you are a conditional green card holder?
We’re Here to Help!
If you received your green card as a result of a family-based application based upon your marriage to a US citizen or permanent resident, your green card is conditional for the first two years and will expire unless you file an I-751 petition to remove conditions on residence within 90 days prior to the expiration date. Failure to do so may result in revocation of your green card. This becomes complicated if you find yourself in removal proceedings, and your case must be handled carefully. When USCIS denies a joint petition or waiver petition to remove the condition on your green card ( when separated or divorced) which can happen even if your spouse is cooperating, USCIS will issue a Notice to Appear, placing you in removal or deportation proceedings. You will have to defend against potential charges that you entered into a sham marriage, one that was entered into only for immigration purposes.
Call us today to discuss your case. We will help you prepare documents, legal arguments and testimony that explains that although your marriage ended, the marriage was a real one from the beginning, and that you are still eligible for permanent resident status in the U.S.
