I just learned that one of my clients, a Central American unaccompanied minor, has received his Green Card putting a permanent end to the threat of deportation.
This case had a bumpy road, as I was first able to obtain his release from detention, and obtain multiple continuances to allow for the adjudication of a special immigrant juvenile petition. Once approved I successfully moved to terminate removal to enable him to apply for his Green Card. His card arrived in the mail yesterday.
