A lot of people are being picked up by Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE). The focus is on any person who does not have lawful status in the USA. Being picked up and placed in removal proceedings/placed in deportation does not mean you will get deported. You will be placed before an immigration judge (IJ) who will decide your faith. Before the IJ, you will be able to tell the IJ how you plan to stay in the USA/what relief from deportation you have. Some of those relief are as follows: adjustment of status, cancellation of removal (EOIR-42B & EOIR-42A), consular processing, asylum & related benefits, VAWA, and U Visa to name a few. Always seek the help of a competent immigration attorney to assist you in ALL of your immigration matters. One of the first thing an attorney does is to try to get a detainee out on bond. Recently, a driving while intoxicated (DWI) charge became an immigrant’s worst nightmare. An IJ will almost always deny a request for bond with a DWI charge. Bond hearings are usually not recorded, so that gives the IJ unfettered discretion over bond. The analysis is the danger to the community. It the danger standard cannot be overcome; other factors are not relevant. DO NOT DRINK & DRIVE. If you drink get a sober ride or stay home. If you want to drive, do not drink.

Trump, it has caused a lot of turmoil in the immigrant community--people are crying, people cannot sleep and people cannot eat. As I have stated, before  an individual gets deported, (s)he has to be placed with an Immigration Judge (IJ). It is the IJ that determines whether one is #removable or deportable from the United States. If the IJ finds that you are removable or #deportable, the judge, after a hearing,  will sign an order then Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will execute that removal order. When one is places before an IJ, (s)he may seek relief (a way to stay) in the US, before the IJ. The IJ has a lot of discretion to grant #relief. If a person is in the United States, for 10 years or more, has a qualifying relative (a child, spouse, and/or parent who is a resident or United States Citizen), you are before an Immigration Judge, you have no crime that would make you #inadmissible to the United States, and you can demonstrate #hardship, an Immigration Judge has the discretion to grant a green card. There are a lot more #benefits that an IJ may grant to help you stay in the United States---TPS, Asylum, NACARA, EOIR-42B, EOIR-42A, VAWA to name a few. Now is the time to consult with a competent immigration attorney to evaluate your options to help you stay in the United States.

If an individual comes to the United States  #undocumented and subsequently gets married to an American citizen, that person has to travel to his or her country of #chargeability (country of citizenship/country of nationality) to be processed for his/her lawful permanent resident status (green card). If the #undocumented person stayed in the United States for more that 180 days after entry, that person is bared for three years from reentry. If that person stays in the US for more than one year after entry, that person is barred for 10 years. To overcome the bar, that person would travel to engage on consular processing and if successful (s)he would be invited to file Form I-601 Waiver; six month or more wait outside of the US. On 01/03/2013, the President signed an executive order (EO) that  allows the development and implementation of Form I-601A that is described as a "provisional waiver. Simply put, one would apply for a waiver inside the United States before traveling for consular processing. If the interview goes well, the waiver is activated and the intending immigrant returns to the United States in about 7 to 14 days. Effective 08/29/2016, the Form I-601A will be expanded to Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) petitioning spouse.

US v. Texas, et al. No one really knows how the court will decide the issues in the pending case. One issue most court decides is whether or not it has jurisdiction over the pending case. If there is no jurisdiction then the case gets thrown out of court. Jurisdiction is a court's Power to hear a case. In the case at bar,  US argues that Texas has no Standing to bring an action in Federal Court relating to DACA2 and DAPA. Generally, to show Standing, a party has to show that it has been Injured and/or there will be Potential Injury. If there is no Standing, then Court does not have Jurisdiction to Hear the Case. US would win in this case. If there is Standing and the Court finds that there is Jurisdiction, then there could be two potential outcomes relating to DACA2 and DAPA. Court could find Standing plus Jurisdiction and Affirm the lower Courts decisions and Texas winds the case. No DACA2 and DAPA. The Court could also find Standing, Jurisdiction, and rule that US had the power and Right to implement the Executive Orders. A win for US means that DACA2 and DAPA will be implemented. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) that was implemented on 08/15/2012is still available for those who become qualified or those who can renew the Previous Grant of DACA.

It is usually based on some sort of natural disaster for example earthquake in Haiti, war in Syria, flooding in El Salvador are some examples. A person has to be from a country that the US. TPS and you have to be in the country before a certain cutoff date. Recently, TPS was extended for Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. Washington, D.C.: March 22, 2016 – United States Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson has extended the designations of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for an additional six months. According to communication from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), although there have been significant improvements in the conditions in all three countries since their designations for TPS in November 2014, the lingering effects of the Ebola virus disease outbreak and continued recovery challenges support the six-month extension. The extended period covers from May 22, 2016 through November 21, 2016. Current TPS beneficiaries from Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone seeking to extend their TPS must re-register during a 60-day period that runs from March 22, 2016, through May 23, 2016. The six-month extension allows TPS re-registrants to apply for a new Employment Authorization Document (EAD). Eligible TPS beneficiaries who re-register during the 60-day period and request a new EAD will receive one with an expiration date of November 21, 2016. Please keep in mind that two or more misdemeanors, one felony, and/or failure to timely renew TPS during the statutory renewal period can result of the denial of subsequent TPS renewal. It may be wise to seek competent legal help in your TPS renewal.Please contact us, so that we can assist you in renewing your TPS.

A person had to be in the United States (US) on or before November 19, 2014 to be eligible to apply for TPS. That grant of TPS last for 18 months, so it expires on May 21, 2016. No one knows if the President will extend TPS for Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone to take effect after it expires. History says it is very likely be extended. A lot of people have called the law office of MARCUS-JARVIS LAW LIMITED on trying to renew TPS. Since the grant has not been extended, there is nothing to renew at this time.  Normally, one renews his/her TPS 90 days before the expiration because the Employment Authorization Card (EAD) is tied to the TPS. Most employers will terminate ones employment if she/he has no authorization to work in the US. Individual from Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone should stay in contact with their attorney, community groups, and churches for any announcements on TPS. If a person is in removal/deportation proceedings and is from a country that is designated TPS, that person may seek TPS from an Immigration Judge (IJ). In removal/deportation proceedings, an IJ has original jurisdiction over TPS. See Matter of Lopez-Aldana, 25 I & N Dec. 49 (BIA 2009). TPS means that if you are from a country that is designated TPS, one timely renews his/her TPS, you are not a threat to the national security, and commits no disqualifying crime, the US government will not remove you from the United States. www.m-jlawltd.com .

DACA2 should have been implemented on 02/18/2015 and DAPA to be implemented on 05/20/2015. On 02/16/2015, a Federal Judge in Brownsville, Texas issued an order blocking both EO. See Texas v. United  States(U.S).  U.S. filed an appeal to the 5th Circuit Court of appeals for review of the Injunctive Order. The 5th Circuit sided with Texas and Affirmed the Injunctive Order. On two occasions, the 5th Circuit sided with Texas. U. S. filed an Appeal to the United States Supreme Court (“Supreme Court” or “SC”).  See United States v. Texas. At the SC, the court reviews cases under a doctrine called Writ of certiorari. A writ of certiorari is an order a higher court issues in order to review the decision and proceedings in a lower court and determine whether there were any irregularities. When a court issues a writ or certiorari it is referred to as "granting certiorari", or 'cert.' The SC granted Cert in U.S. v. Texas,  and the matter will be argued on April 18, 2016. No one knows how the case will be decided. Some believe it will be a 50/50 (a 4-4 decision). If this is the case, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals decision will stand. It is believed that the SC could delay a decision beyond June 30, 2016 It is also believed that if there is a 4-4 vote, the SC could pick up the issue in the future.  The death of Justice Scalia may have changed the dynamics of the SC’s decision. www.m-jlawltd.com  Tel. # 1-(763) 425 5447 00:15:00mltrnoUS citizenship,green card,deportation,removal,student visaStatus of DACA & DAPAhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/mltr/2016/01/03/become-a-united-states-register-to-vote-and-vote-in-the-2016-electionsLegalhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/mltr/2016/01/03/become-a-united-states-register-to-vote-and-vote-in-the-2016-elections/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/mltr/2016/01/03/become-a-united-states-register-to-vote-and-vote-in-the-2016-electionsSun, 03 Jan 2016 20:14:43 GMTBecome a United States, Register to Vote, and Vote in the 2016 ElectionsBecome a United States, Register to Vote, and Vote in the 2016 Elections As a United States citizen (USC) voting is a basic right that we all should exercise. Too many of us ignore that basic right that we have. Please keep in mind that some people in some countries do not have the basic voting rights we have as USC. Please note, the 15th Amendment gave African American men the right to vote. Second, the 19th Amendment gives women the right to vote.  The 15th Amendment prohibits the state and federal governments from denying our rights to vote. If you are 18 or older and you are a USC, register to vote early and vote. If you are going to be out of your voting station for any reason, you may vote using an absentee ballot or you may vote early. In some states, State of Minnesota as an example, you may register to vote and vote on Election Day. Also your employer should accommodate you on Election Day, so that you may exercise your right to vote. If you vote for one candidate and that candidate did not win, that is fine.

Texas and 25 other states filed an action to block both programs. See Texas v. United States. That judge issued an #injunction that halted both programs. United States took an appeal to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeal. The 5th Cir. Affirmed the lower court’s ruling. The United States took another appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court (SC) does not take up the issue, the decision at the 5th Circuit stands. It is widely believe that the SC will grant United States Cert. First, it is very likely that the decision will open the flood gates of litigation for States to sue the federal government. Second, immigration (naturalization) is exclusive to the federal government and maybe the States went too far. Third, it is an issue that affects a lot of people and it is of national interest. Fourth, a lot of people are asking the SC to take up the matter and render a favorable ruling for United States. Finally, previous presidents have issued Executive Orders relating to immigration and other matters.  The #injunction was issued because the Brownsville court felt that the States had #standing to sue the federal government in this matter. Standing is telling the court that is that the power to hear the case. In the case at bar, Texas claims that it would have to issue driver’s licenses etc that would increase the states costs, so it has standing. If SC finds it does not have standing, the case will be won by UnitedStates.  SC could decide that it has standing, but also rule that the executive orders are constitutional. Whatever the outcome, SC’s decision is final. Please not that DACA1 issued on June 15, 2012 is still available and those who qualify should apply and renew if you qualify.

Ways a person becomes a United States citizen (USC) Four ways to be a USC: Birth in the US, Birth abroad, Derivative citizenship, and Naturalization. Naturalization may draw the most complication/litigation. Generally, be a lawful permanent resident for five years; tree year and other exceptions. Be a person good moral character.  Potential waivers: fee waiver, medical waiver, 20/50 rule, and 15/55 rule.    To vote in the federal elections, a person has to be a USC and has to be age 18. Some states require you to register before Election Day, so that you can vote on Election Day. Other states, like Minnesota, allow you to register on Election Day and also vote on Election Day. I believe that some litigants are trying to eliminate this same day registration and voting on Election Day in Minnesota.  Registering to vote and voting is a free process. Registering to vote and voting is a constitutional right that each United States citizen has. The #15Amendment gave African American men the right to vote. The #19Amendment gave women the right to vote. A violation of either amendment could also trigger violation of the #FifthAmendment and #FourteenthAmendment .

Generally, to naturalize, one has to be a green card holder/lawful permanent resident for five years. Exceptions, if your green card was obtained through marriage to a USC, it is three years.  If your spouse is a USC, in the US military and stationed abroad, it is much less than five years when one can apply for USC.  If your USC spouse is a stationed abroad, and working for a US company that is providing trade, commerce, and other significant benefits to the US, that five year requirement is much reduced. If you are 50 or older and have your green card for more than 20 years, you can take the test in your native language and you are exempt from the reading and writing portion of the test. If you are 55 or older and have your green card for 15 years or more, you can take the test in your native language and you are exempt from the reading and writing portions of the test. If you have a medical condition and a doctor sign off on Form N-648, you may get exempted for taking the entire test. You will still have to show that you are a person of good moral character, you  do not have major crimes, and you do not owe local, state, and/or federal taxes. It is my opinion that each person who is a USC, 18 or older, and you do not have restricted liberties should vote. In Minnesota, one can register to vote and vote on Election Day. In Minnesota, one can register to vote Online, at the DMV, and at various other outlets.

It is the conviction of certain crime or the admission to certain crimes that makes the N-USC inadmissible to the United States (US). When a N-USC is inadmissible, it can mean one of two things. First, a person was admitted to the US in some status (student, lawful permanent resident, and/or visitor status to name a few), but after the commission and conviction or admission to the crime that person becomes inadmissible and absent a waiver may not be able to get a green card or hold onto the green card or other status. Second, inadmissible also means that a person is at a port of entry and based on some crime and/or other violation of the US laws (s)he is not allowed to enter the US. When there is a crime, fraud and/or misrepresentation, sometimes a waiver may correct the problem. Some crimes and or misrepresentation cannot be cured with a waiver. A few examples are: sexual assault of minors, some other sexual assault crimes, domestic assault, claims to be a United States citizen (USC), killing someone to name a few.  Sometimes two or more crimes involving moral turpitude (CIMT) can impact your immigration status.

Form I-601 is used to apply for a multitude of waivers. For example, if a person came to the US on a B-1/B-2 Visa and #overstays the visa between 181 to 365 days, that person will be barred from entering the US for a period of up to three (3) years. If that same person #overstays the visa for more than 366 days, that person is barred for 10 years. The Form I-601 waiver can be used to reduce that bar to sometimes months. Form I-601 is also used to forgive some petty crimes, some fraud & misrepresentation, and a onetime use of 30 grams or less of marijuana. If an intending spouse came to the US without being inspected or paroled and that spouse is the beneficiary of an immigrant visa, that spouse may avail him/herself of a Form I-601A waiver. That waiver gets approved before the beneficiary spouse has to travel to an American Consulate to be interviewed and collect the green card. Form I-212 is used when a person gets deported. Form I-612 is used when there is a residency requirement.    Marcus Jarvis is an International Business, Immigration, and Criminal Defense Lawyer.

See #MarcusJarvisBook. Waivers: sometimes an applicant has to file and get a waiver (a forgiveness) approved before (s)he can receive an immigration benefit such as a #greencard, #tps, #nacara, as examples. If a person gets deported from the US, that parson needs to file Form I-212 before returning to the US. If a person overstays his/her visa, that person may be subjected to a 3/10 year bar and would need to file Form I-601 waiver to overcome the bar.  Form I-601A is a special waiver uses for a person who overstays and may be used if a spouse files for an undocumented spouse who is in the US and eventually goes out of the US for consular processing. Form I-612 is called a #residencyrequirement waiver.

For example, a parent may flee his/her country and apply for asylum and received asylum. The spouse can now bring the spouse and/or children who are under 21 as an asylee to the USA. The Asylum beneficiary would file Form I-730 with USCIS. Also if a relative filed Form I-130 for another relative who is in the USA and a visa number becomes available, and that beneficiary/principle  has a spouse and/or children abroad, the beneficiary in the USA may adjust status in the USA and file Form I-824 to have the derivative process his/her paperwork at the respective American Embassy. Another form of derivative benefit is a Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) petition. The beneficiary/principle  has a spouse and/or children abroad, the beneficiary in the USA may adjust status in the USA and file Form I-824 to have the derivative process his/her paperwork at the respective American Embassy.If a parent wins the Diversity Lottery (DV) as an example, one parent comes into the USA with his/her green card (resident card), and applies for United States Citizenship (USC) at five years and the parent also brought a minor child to the USA and that child is under the age of 18 when the parent became a USC, the child derives USC too.

Every person in the USA has a right to due process of law. “Due process” has a wide variety of definitions. It is usually centered on substantial and procedural fairness. In the case at bar, before a person can be deported, the person will have the opportunity to plea the case before an immigration judge. The judge will determine the identity of the person (a United States citizen/permanent resident/some other status to stay in the US or a person who is undocumented). If these procedural safe guards are not in place, a person who is a citizen could get deported. The US Constitution was written to give a lot of protection to its citizens and we have to be careful that if the both procedural and substantive due processes are not followed, even innocent individuals can and will be affected.  During the removal process there are certain substantive and procedural safeguards that have to be in place, it may open up doors, at the immigration court, for individuals to get a green card. Being in removal/deportation could be a good thing.

Most requests for a waiver are made on Form I-601. Certain immediate relatives of U.S. Citizens may use this form to request a provisional unlawful presence waiver under Immigration and Nationality Act Section 212 (a)(9)(B) and 8 CFR 212.7(e), before departing the United States to appear at a U.S. Embassy or consulate for an immigrant visa interview. This request for a waiver is made on Form I-601A. Sometimes an immigration attorney may file a motion requesting that an immigration judge grant a waiver to a respondent. Forms are obtained at www.uscis.gov . Some waivers require that respondent to have a qualifying relative. A qualifying relative means a spouse, parent, or child who a lawful permanent is resident (LPR) or a United States citizen (USC). The respondent sometimes has to show that if (s)he had to leave the US permanently, it would work a hardship on the  LPR or the USC.

Matter of E.W. Rodriguez, 25 I&N Dec. 784 (BIA 2012), and Matter of Koljenovic, 25 I&N Dec. 219 (BIA 2010), withdrawn. When Congress amended the immigration laws a few years ago, it disallowed green card holder the ability to cancel deportation if that person committed an aggravated felony. For a number of years now, the various federal circuit courts of appeals struggled with the issue of whether a person who adjusted status in the US is still eligible for a discretionary waiver after committing an aggravated felony.  Most circuits (2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 7th, 9th, 10, & 11th).

Consular Processing, Provisional Waiver, Regular WaiverThe United States Immigration Laws allows certain relatives to file for other relatives. In addition, the intending immigrant has to do either Consular processing or adjustment of status to eventually get the “green card.” Green card holder or lawful permanent resident (LPR) means the same thing.As spouse who is a LPR or United States citizen (USC) can file for a spouse. A child who is age 21 and USC can file for a parent. A parent who is a USC can file for children (married or unmarried). A parent who is an LPR can file for unmarried children. A sibling who is a USC and age 21 can file for another sibling. Aunts & uncle and niece & nephew cannot file for the other. If the intending immigrant is in the US and made a lawful entry, the intending immigrant may adjust status in the US. If the intending immigrant did not make a lawful entry, the intending immigrant if in the US has to return his/her US consulate to be processed for the green card. Undocumented means that that the intending was not inspected and admitted. A person who came to the US undocumented and got married to a USC, the intending immigrant may file for a provisional waiver before (s)he goes to the US consulate to be processed.  A person who did not make a lawful entry, stayed in the US for 366 days, and you leave the US, you will be barred for 10 years from coming back. Provisional waiver reduces that time to about two weeks. Marcus A.

The following individuals can be subject to removal/deportation: Any person who commits a serious crime in the United States, Aliens who overstay their visa, Any person who commits fraud and/or misrepresented themselves to gain an immigration benefit, An alien who works in the United States without authorization to do so, A student who falls out of status; never has or no longer attends school. The DHS is the umbrella agency for sub-agencies like ICE and USCIS.  DHS, ICE, USCIS and all other sub-agencies are collectively called the “government.” The Immigration Court (IC) was set up to settle two main issues:  First, it determines an alien’s admissibility.  Second, it determines an alien’s removability/deportability (only the government is allowed to initiate removal proceedings).   Marcus Jarvis, Attorney at Law & Author.

This grant of benefit could be based on a number of things: earthquake, civil war, or some type of natural disaster. War in one’s country seems to be more common. On or about November 19, 2014, the United States government gave citizens & nationals from LIBERIA, GUINEA, & SIERRA LEONE who were present in the U. S. on 11/19/14 #TPS. Citizens and nationals form the above named countries who may qualify for #TPS needs to apply by 5/18/15 to secure such a benefit. If a person does not apply by 5/18/15, (s)he may miss the opportunity to obtain TPS.This round of TPS lasts 18 months.  With a work permit one can apply for a social security card. You can work lawfully and you may obtain a driver’s license. Always try to have date stamped documents in your name. Try not to commit crimes. Two or more misdemeanors could cause you to lose #TPS. If you get a Felony, your TPS evaporates; it will not be renewed when it expires. Provided one does not commit crimes and (s)he timely renews during the registration period, the US government will not remove you to your country of citizenship/your usual place of residence. Check my book out for more tips on TPS. If you are in removal proceedings and you are from one of the above mentioned countries, an Immigration Judge (IJ) may grant you TPS.

Johnson, DACA & DAPAAn explanation of Crane v. Johnson, 2015 WL 156621 (5th Cir. 2015), advantages of #DACA & #DAPA We all may agree that the United States immigration needs to be overhauled. There is just no consensus as to how to get it done. I am not sanctioning that individuals should break the U. S. immigration laws to gain entry into the U.S.  However, a problem exists that needs attention. A prosecutor (state or federal level), broadly speaking anyone who is empowered to administer the laws of the U. S., has broad discretion as to how the laws are implemented. The U. S. President has the power to implement the U. S. Immigration laws. Article 1, Section 8 of the U. S. Constitution, *** [says that] The Congress shall have Power *** to establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization ***. i.e. States cannot author immigration laws. In #Crane v. Johnson, Crane and others brought an action to challenge the President’s as to how he implemented the U. S. immigration laws. The Crane Court held that Crane and others did not have standing to challenge the grant of #DACA. “Standing” means the legal right to initiate a lawsuit. If Plaintiff does not have standing, it naturally follows that the court does not have jurisdiction. “Jurisdiction” means the origin of a court's authority to hear the case. The Crane Court, in a 3-0 decision, determined that Crane and others did not have standing, so the court dismissed the case. On April 17, 2015, the 5th Circuit hears oral arguments on a similar case relating to #DACA and #DAPA. State ofTexas v. United States.

He also has the discretion to execute the laws the way he sees fit. He can execute the laws to the full extent or he can execute them in a more relaxed way. (A prosecutor for the states government or a prosecutor for the federal government has the same discretion.) As a practicing attorney, I have always know that the US Government has always given some aliens more breaks than other aliens in the form of prosecutorial discretion. The recently announced DACA and DAPA are both prosecutorial discretion in other clothing. I read an article that says that it would cost about $60 Billions to deport all the undocumented people. Also based on "due process" of law this would take years to do. The rationale behind recently announced Executive Orders is to allow the government to spend its resources on what it believes to be the hard core criminals. For those of us who are not United States citizens (USC) please keep in mind that one DWI/DUI is mandatory detention. I have noticed this increased enforcement on DWI/DUI in the last 1.5 weeks or so.
