Cohen Brings Back Deported Man

A man was deported to Colombia. Due to his removal from the United States, he was barred under the law from returning to the U.S. for 10 years. Additionally, because he had collected more than 1 year of unlawful presence prior to his deportation, he was also subject to an additional 10 year bar to reentry. Attorney Cohen represented him and his wife in front of USCIS and the State Department in an immigrant visa petition and consular processing of the case. In order for the U.S. Embassy in Bogota to issue the immigrant visa, Attorney Cohen had to have 2 separate applications approved in order to waive the 10 year bars to reentry. One application was a I-212 advance permission to reenter the United States after Removal, and the other was an I-601 application for a waiver 10 year bar for unlawful presence. In order for the unlawful presence bar to be forgiven, evidence that the man’s U.S. Citizen wife was suffering extreme hardship in the absence of her husband was collected and presented to the USCIS. Evidence included a psychological report which indicated that she was suffering from clinical depression. Other evidence bearing on the issue of extreme hardship was submitted as well, along with evidence in support of a favorable exercise of discretion. Evidence bearing on the issue of the non-viability of the wife joining her husband abroad was also provided to USCIS. The USCIS granted the I-601 and I-212 applications, finding that it was established that the wife would suffer extreme hardship unless the husband were allowed to rejoin her in the United States. OUTCOME: the U.S. Embassy in Colombia granted the immigrant visa application and the husband was allowed to emigrate to the United States where he was issued a green card. Had the waivers not been approved he would have been stuck outside the U.S. for a decade.

Absentia Order of Removal Motion to Reopen Victory

A man from the West Indies was arrested by immigration upon his return to the United States. He was advised that there was an order of removal (deportation) that had been entered against him years before in Miami. Because he had not attended an immigration court hearing, the judge ordered him removed in his absence. Attorney Cohen filed a motion to rescind the absentia order of removal, based on the fact that his client had been unaware that he had been in immigration court proceedings (lack of notice). The motion was supported by affidavits of the client and relatives who corroborated the fact that he had not been aware of the proceedings, as well as documentary evidence showing that he had been living at a different address than the notice to appear and hearing notice were sent to. Cohen also obtained documentation from USCIS demonstrating that immigration had been made aware of the client’s address change by forms previously submitted to USCIS. Result: the Immigration Court in Miami reopened and terminated proceedings against client, and client was released from custody.

Fort Myers Immigration Physical Resources and 3 Tips for Green Card Applicants

By Mitchell J. Cohen, Esquire
Last Updated: 01/15/2013

USCIS Civil Surgeons (for immigration physicals)

green card attorney

Attorney Mitchell J. Cohen

When a person applies for adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident status (“green card” status), the USCIS requires that the results of an immigration physical be submitted in a sealed envelope. Only designated USCIS-approved “civil surgeons” may perform the examination, and complete Form I-693 Report of Physical Examination and Vaccination Record.

Cohen’s Helpful Hint 1: When going to your immigration physical, bring your vaccination records.

The doctor will advise you of any shots you may have to take in order to “pass” the physical examination. By bringing your vaccination history, you may will be spared needless needles in your arm (or elsewhere).

Cohen’s Helpful Hint 2: The doctor will conduct a TB test on your arm. You will have to return to the doctor’s office in 2 to 3 days to see if you have a positive reaction. So, make sure you will be available for the 2nd appointment.

If you test positive, the doctor will generally conduct a chest x-ray to see if there is evidence of active tuberculosis

Cohen’s Helpful Hint 3: Do not open the sealed envelope – but ask the medical office for copies for your own records.

The USCIS requires that the immigration physical be sealed by the doctor, only to be opened by an immigration officer as part of the USCIS processing of your adjustment of status application. Ask the doctor’s office for a copy of the completed, signed, I-693 and test results for your own records before they place the originals in the sealed envelope. Some medical office staff may tell you that they cannot give you a copy, due to it being “confidential.” That is misguided and wrong. The reason for the requirement that the results be placed in a sealed envelope is to ensure that it is not tampered with prior to submission to the USCIS. You have every right to your own medical records. Having a copy of the completed form and test results prior to submitting the adjustment application is important, as on occasion the form is not properly completed. I always ask my clients to bring a copy of their “medicals” to make sure the form is not missing any key entries or signatures, as a missed entry or signature on the form can delay or seriously jeopardize your green card application.

212(h) Waiver for Client with Shoplifting Arrests

Attorney Cohen represented a woman in an adjustment of status application (“green card application”) in Broward County, Florida . She was convicted of several shoplifting offenses, making her inadmissible as an alien convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude. The residency application would have been denied, unless a waiver application was granted. USCIS granted the Section 212(h) waiver, based on evidence that her U.S. Citizen daughter would suffer extreme hardship if either separated from her mother, or if they both had to relocate outside of the United States . Attorney Cohen presented detailed affidavits and other evidence documenting the exceptionally close relationship of mother and daughter, along with evidence that the daughter was living with her mother, having fled an abusive relationship. Key evidence was a thorough psychological report of the daughter, documenting her emotional fragility and predicting based on the psychological evaluation, the very likely prospect of extreme psychological hardship to the daughter should her mother be forced to leave the United States . Evidence of the applicant’s remorse and rehabilitation was also submitted. Attorney Cohen highlighted the issues and argued in support of the waiver in a legal brief. Result: 212(h) WAIVER GRANTED and RESIDENCY APPLICATION APPROVED by the USCIS Oakland Park Field Office.

 

 

Green Card for Man with Aggravated Battery Conviction

212(h) Waiver for Client in Miami with Aggravated Battery Conviction

 

Felony Conviction Threatened to Result in Deportation

A young man from a Caribbean country got caught up in a barroom brawl, and as a result of the melee he was charged with aggravated battery. The charge resulted from an allegation that he had hit someone over the head with a bottle. He was subsequently convicted. The crime would have disqualified him from a green card unless immigration granted him a section 212(h) waiver.

 

A Well-Presented Section 212(h) Waiver at the Miami District Office

Attorney Cohen represented him in an application for residency with the USCIS in Miami, requesting that the crime be waived (forgiven for immigration purposes). Client was taking care of his 2 ailing parents, both of whom suffered from chronic medical conditions. Attorney Cohen obtained evidence from experts in support of the case, including detailed letters from the parents’ physicians, and psychological reports on them as well. The documentation demonstrated that the parents were physically and emotionally very dependent on having their son living with them and caring for them. The reports also discussed the negative impact that deportation of the son would have on the parents’ well-being. Attorney Cohen provided evidence of client’s rehabilitation, as well as a detailed brief on the factual and legal issues.

OUTCOME: client was issued a green card, and not deported from the United States .

 

What Happens at 333 South Miami Avenue (Immigration Court)?

By Mitchell J. Cohen, Esquire

333 South Miami Avenue

Attorney Mitchell J. Cohen

333 South Miami Avenue, Miami, FL 33130 is the home of the Miami Immigration Court, which handles deportation and deportation-type proceedings for South Florida area (the 8th Floor houses social security). There are also detention facilities which have immigration courts embedded within them, such as the Krome Processing Center in Miami, and the Broward Transitional Center (BTC) in Pompano Beach. The Miami Immigration Court also handles IHP (“Institutional Hearing Program”) removal proceedings, generally on the 7th floor of the building. IHP involves persons who are still serving their criminal sentences in jail. Their removal proceedings are handled through a closed-circuit television system.

The building opens at 7:30 AM, and there is a parking lot adjoining the building, which charges $20 cash. Be dressed appropriately. Security at the building’s entrance asks for identification, and scan one’s belongings through an x-ray machine. Then you step through a metal detector. Leave any sharp objects in your car. Do not bring any matches or lighters. If you are scheduled for a hearing, it is important to give yourself plenty of time to find the court building, park, and to get through security. It is a common occurrence for people to get ordered deported in their absence (“in absentia”) when they fail to show up on time for their Immigration Court hearing.

The lobby has some seating and a bank of elevators. There is also a list of judges and their courtrooms posted nearby. If your notice of hearing lists Room 700, that is the clerk’s office. Go to the 7th Floor, and ask the clerk at the window which courtroom to go to. An alternative, is to call (800) 898-7180 the automated information system, press #1, then enter your alien number (also known as an “A” number – it is on your notice to appear and notice of hearing and is an 8 or 9 digit number beginning). Press #1 again, and hopefully you will be told the time, date, and place of your immigration court hearing (including the Immigration Judge’s name). Still yet another method of obtaining information about your hearing is to call the clerk’s office at (305) 789-4221, and give them your alien number.

Here is a guide to the floors of 333 South Miami Avenue:

Floor 1: Lobby
Floors 2 and 3: Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office of the Chief Counsel (a/k/a “Trial Attorney Unit” or more informally “Immigration Prosecutor’s Office)
Floors 4-7: Immigration Judges’ Courtrooms
Floor 7: Clerk’s Office (“Room 700”)
Floor 8: Social Security Administration

On each of the floors where there are courtrooms, there are waiting rooms by the elevators. Inside the waiting rooms on the wall are listed each judge’s docket for the day (list of individuals and their hearing times). Make sure you are in the judge’s courtroom by the time your hearing is scheduled to begin. Silence or turn off your cell phone before entering the courtroom. Do not chew gum in court. Keep noise at a minimum. When the judge walks into or out of the courtroom, the proper protocol is to stand up.

If you are unrepresented, you should show the judge’s judicial assistant your hearing notice, so you are entered on a list of those present waiting to be called. Once your name is called, you will sit down at the “respondent’s table.” A respondent is the immigration court equivalent of a “defendant”. At a minimum, you will be asked to confirm your name, address, and telephone number.

Given the fact that U.S. immigration law is extremely complicated and harsh, it is generally a terrible idea to attempt to represent yourself in immigration court, even “a little.” The best time to hire an immigration attorney is well before your first hearing. Statements or admissions that you make about seemingly inconsequential things may inflict serious damage to your defense. Even acknowledging that you were born outside of the U.S., or that you were “properly served” with the notice to appear, or admitting that you committed a crime, may advance the government’s case against you. An unrepresented person may ask the immigration judge for a “continuance” (postponement) to find an attorney. If you are unrepresented at the initial master calendar hearing, the judge should ask you if you want time to find an attorney or if you wish to represent yourself. A polite affirmative request from a respondent seeking time to find an attorney may be “Your Honor, may I please have some time to find an attorney?” The judge may, at his or her own discretion, then reschedule your hearing to a later date, at which point you will be expected to appear with your attorney. The decision to grant or deny the request for time to find an attorney is up to the immigration judge. Therefore, it is best to have your immigration attorney from the start. The judge is much less likely to grant a second request for a continuance to find an attorney. If the continuance is granted, you will be warned about the consequences of failing to appear at your next hearing, and handed a hearing notice. You will also be handed a change of address form (Form EOIR-33C). Any address change must be filed with the clerk’s office (7th Floor), and a copy served on the Office of the Chief Counsel (2nd Floor).

Depending on the nature and individual facts of your case, you may have several immigration court hearings over the course of several months or even in some cases years. Typically the early phase of the hearing involves the immigration prosecutor trying to establish that you are subject to deportation from the United States. In some cases it may be possible for your immigration lawyer get the proceedings terminated based on defects in the notice to appear (the charging document) or based on effectively contesting the substance of the charge(s). Should the government prevail on that issue, then the next issue is what if any immigration relief you qualify for. If the Immigration Judge finds that you are eligible to apply for relief, he or she will require the filing of the application(s) and supporting documentation, and conduct one or more hearings on the application(s), where testimony of witnesses will generally be presented. At the conclusion, the Immigration Judge will rule on the merits of case.

In 1922 the Supreme Court noted that deportation “may result in loss of both property and life, or of all that makes life worth living.” For a person in Immigration Court proceedings the stakes are extremely high, as a deportation order may effectively mean permanent exile from United States. That is why it is very important to hire a good, experienced immigration attorney.

Important Information Regarding Immigration Detainees at the Broward Transitional Center (BTC)

By Mitchell J. Cohen, Esquire

Broward Transitional Center

The Broward Transitional Center (“BTC”) is a detention facility that houses – among other individuals – immigration detainees that the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is in the process of attempting to deport. Some of the individuals detained have final orders of deportation, whereas others may have pending Immigration Court proceedings. BTC is currently managed by a private company, the GEO Group. There is an Immigration Court located within the facility, where removal proceedings are held. Immigration detainees at the facility may be eligible for a bond or order of supervision, depending on the circumstances of their case.

The facility’s address is: Broward Transitional Center, 3900 North Powerline Road, Pompano Beach, FL 33073. Tel. (954) 973-4485. ICE’s main telephone number within the facility is (954) 236-4900. The ICE Supervisory Deportation Officer in charge of the facility can be reached at (954) 545-6060. Detainees cannot receive incoming calls, however, ICE states that a person may leave an “urgent message” for a detainee by calling (954) 973-4485, making sure to “leave the detainee’s full name, alien registration number and your name and telephone number where you can be reached.” A short guide by ICE about the facility and its policies is located at http://www.ice.gov/doclib/dro/facilities/pdf/wccpbfl.pdf. Some of the information, may be dated. For example, immigration bonds may now be additionally posted at the Miramar “ERO,” located at 2805 SW 145th Ave., Miramar, FL 33037 (tel. 954 – 843-5800).

I strongly  recommend that you call the facility first before attempting to visit, to make sure that you know the current visitation rules, and that the person detained will be available for a visit.   There are frequent “head counts,” and other routines in the facility which could interfere with your visit.

If you receive a call from a friend or family member who is in immigration custody, it is a very good idea to ask them the following questions, in order to be able to locate them “in the system”:

Where are you (name and address of the facility)?

What is your alien number? (If a foreign national (a/k/a “alien”) has not been previously assigned an alien number (a/k/a “A number”), he will be once he is in custody and processed by ICE. Sometimes a person will be assigned more than one alien number over the course of his or her life. Having the person’s alien number will greatly facilitate locating the person in the system and obtaining critical information about pending or prior Immigration Court proceedings. A detainee will often have a wrist band with the alien number printed on it. The alien number will have the format A__ __ __ – ___ ___ – ___ ___ ___ (for example: A012 345 678). Sometimes the number may have only 8 digits.

What is the exact spelling of the name that you are detained under?

What is your date of birth?

What country does ICE have you listed as a native of?

Have you been issued a bond?

Do you have an upcoming Immigration Court hearing?

When talking on the phone to a detainee at the facility, be aware that the calls are monitored.

With an alien number, it is possible to call the Immigration Court automated telephone system to find out about an upcoming hearing or the date, place and outcome of concluded Immigration Court proceedings. That telephone number is (800) 898-7180. Another source of information about a detainee’s Immigration Court proceedings is the Krome Processing Center Immigration Court, which has administrative control over the BTC Immigration Court. Krome Immigration Court’s Clerk’s Office can be reached at (786) 422-8700.

Immigration detainees who over the age of 18 might be located using the ICE “Online Detainee Locator System,” located at https://locator.ice.gov/odls/searchByName.do.
If you have a friend or family member in immigration custody, it is generally critical that they obtain legal representation as soon as possible. Unlike a defendant in criminal proceedings, there is no equivalent of a “public defender” for people in deportation or removal proceedings. Immigration Court hearings for those in immigration custody occur very swiftly, and the respondents in these proceedings are often not given very much time to secure an attorney. As a result, many end up representing themselves, usually with catastrophic results. Others may already have orders of deportation or removal (sometimes entered in absentia, that they were not even aware of). In some cases, it is possible to motion the Immigration Court or Board of Immigration Appeals to reopen the deportation or removal proceedings, and eliminate the order of deportation before the Deportation Officer accomplishes a detainee’s deportation.

I have been successful in securing the release of many individuals who were detained in Immigration custody, and obtaining durable Immigration relief for many clients through litigation in Immigration Court.  If you have a friend or family member detained at BTC, Krome, or other immigration detention facility, call me at my law office, Mitchell J. Cohen, P.A., 501 Golden Isles Drive, Ste. 201B, Hallandale Beach, Florida 33009. Tel. (954) 457-1941.    www.greencardcohen.com.

Hallandale Beach/ Fort Myers Immigration Attorney Discusses USCIS Form I-601A, Application for a Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver

By Mitchell J. Cohen, Esquire

Attorney Mitchell J. Cohen

Attorney Mitchell J. Cohen

In 2013, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a rule allowing certain family members of U.S. citizens who are physically present in the United States to remain in the country while applying for the waiver they need to become permanent residents.

Certain individuals who accumulated more than 180 days of unlawful presence in the United States are barred from readmission or adjustment of status for 3 years. Certain people who accumulated more than 1 year of unlawful presence in the U.S. are barred for 10 years. There are exceptions to the 3/10 year unlawful presence rule.

The stateside provisional waiver (I-601A) process will permit certain immediate family members of U.S. citizens (spouses, parents of citizens at least 21 years of age, and minor children) to apply for a provisional waiver of unlawful presence while remaining in the U.S., thereby cutting down on the long waits-sometimes a year or more-during which these citizens may be separated from their families during the process. To obtain the provisional waiver, an applicant must prove that both family separation and relocation would cause a qualifying relative (U.S. Citizen spouse or parent) extreme hardship, and that the applicant merit a grant of the waiver in the exercise of discretion.

If the waiver is granted, the applicant would still leave the U.S. and apply for an immigrant visa abroad before returning to the United States. Approval of the provisional waiver is not an iron-clad guarantee that an applicant will be permitted to reenter the United States. Even with the approval of the provisional waiver however, the U.S. Embassy would have the final say on whether to issue the immigrant visa and let the applicant back into the United States. The U.S. Embassy maintains the authority to deny a visa application for many different reasons apart from the 3/10 year unlawful presence bar.

The final rule has been expanded to include those eligible family members whose removal proceedings are administratively closed at time of filing the provisional waiver application. However, individuals with a final order of removal, or who has been previously removed, will not be eligible for the new provisional waiver process. Individuals who have other grounds of inadmissibility (such as criminal grounds or fraud) are not eligible to use the provisional waiver process either.

Given the possibility that an individual with an approved provision waiver may still in some circumstances be denied the immigrant visa once outside the United States, it is important to consult with an experienced immigration attorney regarding one’s options.

In some cases, it may be possible to file for adjustment of status (processing the residency application in the U.S., in front of USCIS, without leaving the U.S.).    Traveling outside of the United States can be a one way trip for many, and it is extremely critical that you seek the advice of an immigration attorney who has thorough researched and understand the particulars of your individual case, before making any plans to depart the United States.

5 Common Immigration Interview Mistakes to Avoid

By Mitchell J. Cohen, Esquire

Attorney Mitchell J. Cohen

Attorney Mitchell J. Cohen

1. Showing up late (or not showing up at all).

If you are not on time for your USCIS appointment there is a good possibility that your application will be denied. A good idea is to do a test drive to the USCIS Office before your interview date, to make sure that you know the route. Failure to appear at your interview normally is deemed to be an abandonment of your application. Give yourself plenty of driving extra time to make allowances for traffic and lines getting through security at the building. Leave sharp objects, liquids, lighters and matches in the car.

2. Not bringing original documents.

The immigration officer conducting your interview will normally ask to see the original of copies you submitted with your petition or application. For residency cases based on marriage to a U.S. citizen, this will include a certified copy of the marriage certificate, certified copies of any divorces decrees, certified copy of birth certificate of applicant, the original U.S. passport or certificate of naturalization of the U.S. Citizen spouse or certified copy of U.S. state-issued birth certificate. Any certification must come from the official records custodian (for example, the clerk of court). In most cases, the Immigration Officer will want to see the passport that the applicant entered the United States on, and I-94 card, if any. The immigration officer also likes to see the original birth certificates of any children born of the marriage. He or she may also ask to see the originals of the copies you may have submitted demonstrating the bona fides (good faith nature) of your marriage, so have a set of originals of these as well (photos featuring the couple, driver licenses, joint bank statements, lease agreement, etc.) If you have been arrested or cited for a crime, certified copies of the arrest report, and court documents including the disposition will be requested by the immigration officer.

Failure to bring an original (or certified copy) may result in a delay in the processing of your case, or worse, a denial of your case if the officer is not in a charitable mood. If you have lost or cannot find one of your original documents do go to the interview however, as failure to show up will usually result in an automatic denial. I recommend that you try to bring to the appointment evidence that you have requested a replacement original or certified copy.

3. Not bringing an interpreter (if one of the interviewees is not fluent in English).

The USCIS does not provide interpreters for their interviews. The agency requires you to bring your own interpreter. Husbands and wives cannot interpret for one another. Attorneys are not allowed to interpret for their clients. If the immigration officer is having difficulty communicating with a petitioner or applicant because of a language barrier, he or she may reschedule the interview, or worse yet, deny the petition or application.

4. Being unprepared.

The old adage “if you fail to prepare you prepare to fail” rings very true in the area of immigration interviews. Like in any important test in life, those who are prepared are more likely to succeed, whereas those who fail to prepare may be walking into a nightmare scenario. Failing to bring enough proof of the marriage may result in the immigration officer having serious doubts about the marriage, and conduct a separation marriage interview, in which each spouse is interrogated separately, and their responses looked over with a fine tooth comb, looking for any discrepancies in the answers. An unprepared applicant’s answers to seemingly harmless questions may result in a denial (and even placement in removal proceedings). Many applicants are unpleasantly surprised when they find they are being asked questions that the officer has about previous applications they filed with immigration. In fact, an officer will deny a marriage petition if he or she determines that a previous marriage was entered into solely for immigration purposes. Some applicants have outstanding orders of deportation or removal that they do not even know about and may face arrest at the interview. Others do not understand the implications of their arrest or admissions to crimes. These may completely disqualify the applicant from the benefit sought, or require a waiver to be filed and approved in order to obtain residency.

5. Not realizing that the immigration officer is a human being.

Immigration officers are human, and they experience the same range of human emotions as the rest of us, including frustration and annoyance. When someone goes to an immigration interview and is giving non-responsive answers, or spends the majority of the interview digging through bags looking for documents, the officer’s level of frustration may increase – which in turn may increase your chances of being denied. Attending an important interview by a USCIS officer is a formal matter, and one should dress appropriately for the interview (translation: no flip-flops or shorts). That way, the immigration officer will at least see that the interviewees are taking the interview seriously.

Given the perils, high stakes and complexities involved in a residency (adjustment of status) application, it is a wise idea to be represented at every stage of the process – including the immigration interview – by a competent attorney well versed in immigration law.
