Case of H.T.

We represented H in her I-601 immigrant waiver application after she had been found inadmissible under Section 212(a)(2)(A)(i)(I) for convictions for crimes of moral turpitude. Because more than 15 years had elapsed since her last criminal incident, H was eligible to apply for a Section 212(h) immigrant waiver. She was rehabilitated and did not present a danger to the US; her community considered her to be an upstanding citizen. We presented more than 10 character reference letters, as well as letters of support from her current and previous employers. USCIS then approved the waiver, and less than two months later, H received her IR5 immigrant visa, allowing her to immigrate to live with her US citizen daughter and grandchildren.
