Case Studies

F is a successful and renowned entrepreneur in his community. He had traveled to Europe and the US on more than 30 occasions over 20 years. But much to his shock, the US Embassy in his home country accused F of “smuggling” his teenage child to the United States 10 years ago, when in fact, his ex-wife had taken their child to the US without his knowledge or permission. The case required the gathering of substantial documentation: through the Freedom of Information Act, we were able to obtain copies of previous visa applications and entry records; with the help of a local lawyer, we were able to obtain pertinent documents from the divorce case. We were then able to present these documents, other evidence, and our request to remove the 212(a)(6)(E) permanent alien smuggling bar to the Embassy and the Department of State for their review. After a protracted review process, the bar was removed.
