Restored Deportation Relief

May 8, 2012 by Lynn Olinger

Gavel. 3d

For certain green card holders with criminal convictions, deportation relief that previously was wrongly withheld is now available, as intended by Congress.  On May 2, 2012 the  Matter of E.W. Rodriguez decision by the immigration appeals court ruled that persons who became permanent residents through “adjustment” (meaning “fixing” ones papers in the U.S.) are eligible for a certain waiver. This is true whether the person initially entered the U.S. lawfully or not.
