VISA Overstay A husband and wife both entered the country on a work visa (H2A), had US Citizen children, and ended up overstaying their visas. They waited 21+ years for their children to be able to petition for them, and Wu Law Firm was able to help them obtain a 10-year green card without a USCIS Interview. They are now able to make a long-awaited trip to their home country of Mexico, visit their family, and come back to the USA.

In Absentia Deportation       At our Law Firm, we helped a Honduran Single mom, who was ordered an “In Absentia Deportation.” We filed a Motion to Reopen for her and her son at the Newark Immigration Court and the Immigration Judge granted it. We made it to the one-year deadline for them and they were able to apply for their work permits. When she received her permit, she was so happy that she wanted to take a picture with her Attorney to send it to her family in Honduras. We are still fighting her Asylum case in court, and hopefully, we will have a good outcome.
