Cancel deportation of illegal alien

[jreacher 0]

A good lawyer can get her off the false claim of citizenship on circumstancial basis. The BIA has set enough precedents by overturning these life bans that a case well presented may well be dismissed. Given she has entered the country illegally she would be required to return to Mexico and wait for her visa request to be initiated by her husband and run its course.

IMHO the issue seems to be the marriage in and of itself. You don't mention a fiancé or boyfriend in your post which might indicate the lawyer is proposing an arranged marriage. That would only compound her situation, not to mention it might end up wrecking the life of the persons to whom she might marry. If her marriage is deemed fraudulent by the authorities, her 'husband' faces penalties in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and prison time.

Yeah, there is nobody she can marry. She'd have to find someone. Her lawyer even told her that they didn't have to live together, which seems like horrible advise. And he definitely didn't emphasize that she would have to demonstrate extreme and unusual hardship to her spouse. Her hearing is early next year, if she gets married now, AFTER she got in trouble, what possible hardship could be demonstrated? (The lawyer I asked said basically the same thing.) Especially since the person marrying her would have to know that she couldn't adjust her status from within the US anyway and would have to be away from her while she is in Mexico trying to get back in.

Basically, she had it good up until her first DWI. The assault charge would have been very difficult to overcome, but there'd still be a very tiny bit of hope depending on the circumstances.

We need to find out how Zsa Zsa Gabor got off ...

I think the first post was suggesting that she the Lawyer was going for Cancellation of Removal.

Two things required for COR are 10 years presence and good behaviour.

And a qualifying immediate relative that can show more than Extreme Hardship.

She seems to have neither.

Isn't that three things?
