I thought this was an interesting case.

 

It appears he applied for DACA on the basis of being abused by his presumably US born son.

 

Obtained AP

 

Travelled on that AP

 

Case was rejected at some point before he returned.

 

He was able to board his Plane but refused entry.

 

Not sure how the U Visa comes into play. that was not explained.

This story reminds me of a Hacking show case not too long ago.  A couple (I think from a well-known high risk country) came on tourist visas. The guy claimed VAWA against his wife.....and his wife cla

He came illegally, so how and when did he start paying an attorney to get a GC yet he clearly knew he isn't eligible for one? Something is not being told here.

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

This is the original story without the Guardian embellishments.

I do not know how informed he was but basically he went to see the Lawyer, Lawyer filed a VAWA case (which would not require him to travel home) seems this is that Lawyers preferred tactic. He has 4 children one of whom is described as a Banker, did they not know what was going on?

VAWA that his son abused him?? Yeah right 😂. This is not how VAWA works and the lawyer who was quoted by the article also needs to have her/his license revoked. This lawyer claimed that "people look for USC relatives and file false VAWA claims against them." If this was so, I can tell my sister to file one against me so as to obtain a GC 😂😂

 

Velázquez’s application inaccurately asserted that his eldest son abused him

Well I assume his wife is without documentation so that left the children.

Still, I don't see why he should get a GC in the first place. Those two state officials who are pleading on his behalf are just doing so because they're all Latinos. 

 

His family targeted Latino state representatives. Why didn't they try one outside their race? 

Smh..

Politicians doing what they do and nothing they can do in this case but pander.

Father most likely had straightforward case to GC if his son was a US citizen without the VAWA claim… unless he entered the US without inspection… then he was never allowed to exit the country with the travel document. I agree he was scammed by the lawyer but agree with @Timona there is more to this story.

Applied for DACA on the basis of being abused by his USC son?  Wouldn't that be VAWA?
