After 36 Years, She Finally Has Her Green Card

Our client was ordered deported in 1988. She never left.

She stayed in the United States, built a life, raised her children, and continued to hope for a legal pathway to remain in the country she called home.

Years later, she was granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which gave her a legal entry. This became the foundation we needed.

When her U.S. citizen child became eligible to petition for her, we moved into action.

• We filed a motion to reopen her original deportation case.
• We fought for and obtained a dismissal of the removal order.
• We filed her application for adjustment of status.
• We got it approved.

Today, she is a permanent resident of the United States.

Her story is about patience, courage, and a legal strategy built on timing and experience. It was a long journey, but it ended with the result she had been waiting for.
