VAWA Green Card After Deportation Order
Laurel, from Hungary, entered the United States on ESTA. In 2011, she was denied asylum by an Immigration Judge but remained in the country. Five years later, she married a U.S. citizen. Laurel crumpled from his treatment of her. If she spoke, he would grab her arm and order her to shut up. He threatened and bruised Laurel, who often ran away into the bathroom to avoid him, staying there until her husband fell asleep. Blandon Law delivered a safe haven. The approval above is for Laurel’s green card application. Her husband never knew she became a legal permanent resident.
Getting a Work Permit After a Deportation Order
Even before she received her green card, Laurel was given a work permit. What made the case easier for her is that she came to this country legally, with ESTA. We did not have to reopen her court case. Blandon Law filed a VAWA Violence Against Women Act application and, together with that, we requested a work permit.
What made the case more challenging is that Immigration sent a VAWA Request for Evidence. Thanks to our over 20 years of experience with VAWA, we organized and prepared a reply that won her VAWA case.
Filing for I-485 Adjustment After a Deportation Order
After the VAWA I-360 application was granted, we filed for the green card. For noncitizens who do not come with ESTA, such as those who enter the country without permission, Blandon Law files a motion to reopen and terminate before filing for the VAWA green card. Immigration judges, overwhelmed with millions of cases, are practical about closing cases and erasing former deportation orders for persons – like Laura – who have an approved VAWA application.
