One of our clients came to us when she found out she was facing deportation. After her case was rejected by an immigration judge and the Board of Immigration Appeals, Glickman Turley attorneys filed an appeal in the First Circuit Court of Appeals. We requested a stay of removal for this client, so she could remain in the U.S. while her appeal was pending. The stay was granted, but the court also identified several issues it found relevant to her claims. Specifically, the court requested information on the question of whether there was "substantial evidence" to support the BIA's findings that our client would be able to find work in her home country and that she might have been aware of misconduct by her spouse many years ago. It also questioned the BIA's authority to review credibility findings and whether our client's stated intention to exercise her rights under U.S. law, should she become a citizen, could be held against her.
Although our client's appeal is not yet decided, this is a promising sign. We will exercise our best efforts to fight for her ability to stay in the U.S.
