Deportation Waivers (I-601/212)

Indian CL who had previously tried to cross Canada/US border as a Canadian, who was returned to Canada and removed from Canada, later married a USC , and misrepresented himself during his IV interview in India by not disclosing the previous "misrepresentation," is now overjoyed to receive the approval of his waiver application. His wife retained us and after the thorough review of all materials , information, and advising on the type of documentation most favorable to the case, we filed I-601 Waiver in May 2006 to the US Consulate in Mumbai, India. Case got transferred to New Delhi 's office within two weeks. After constant inquiry and return communication from the US Consulate in New Delhi , India, in late September of 2006, our office was informed that file was lost and we were asked to resubmit the complete file. File was resubmitted twice to the US Consulate in India . Every two weeks our office would request an update on CL's case. No additional evidence requested other than provision of the initial I-601 waiver packet. Case was just granted in December 2006 and CL is waiting for processing of the immigrant visa to join his USC wife and newly born USC son. Lori Pinjuh, a senior attorney in the firm, worked on this case, with the assistance and research of Karim Berdiev.

We were retained to work on an I-601 waiver for an Indian client who was removed in 2005 from the US.  The client had an IV interview in New Delhi on 10/18/06 during which he submitted the waiver application prepared by our office.  The client subsequently was approved in mid 2007 and entered the US in June 2007 with a green card.  Margaret Wong worked on this case with assistance from paralegal Brian Marek.
