IMMIGRATION SUCCESS STORIES
Every Immigration Client Has A Special Story
 |
As a young college journalist, I had the good fortune to meet and interview Charles Kuralt, producer of a weekly television series called “On the Road.” He drove a motor home up and down the United States from coast to coast. Every week he would broadcast a story about someone he met on the road. His heartwarming stories about unusual people in unusual places won awards year after year.
During my interview, I asked him how was he able to find so many special people week after week. He said the formula was quite simple. Every person, he confided, has a special story, a special adventure to tell the world. It merely requires the assistance of someone who has the ability to tell their stories for them. Today, every time I handle a new immigration case, I think about Mr. Kuralt’s distinctive insight. Every immigrant, having traveled a long distance, from places foreign to most U.S. citizens, has lived a unique life – often overcoming tremendous obstacles and hardships – on their path to a better tomorrow. As their immigration lawyer, I become the person chosen to help them complete their journeys to America successfully. I appreciate and value the opportunity to be part of such grand adventures.

Twenty year old Ben visited his younger brother, Warren, in a local jail. Ben and Warren had entered the United States at the same time. Warren was a lawful permanent resident.

This simple mistake would have enormous legal and financial consequences for Ben and his family . . . See how Ben is now.
PROVING CITIZENSHIP IN THE THIRD ROUND
Tony, age 30, had just married Angela, a U.S. citizen. Angela wanted to file papers to immigrate Tony. He feared they would be accused of fraud. Tony’s mother was a U.S. citizen but he was born in Mexico. He had filed twice to prove his U.S. citizenship. He failed both times. If Angela filed new papers for him, would the government think this was an attempt to obtain U.S. residency by any means necessary and challenge the validity of the marriage? Learn the outcome here.
