Small win today in Immigration Court 🙌
We successfully got our client’s case administratively closed. This is huge because it pauses removal proceedings and allows us to move forward with the immigration process outside of court.
What this means:
• The immigration judge is no longer actively moving the removal case forward
• No upcoming court hearings
• Case stays with the court, but paused
• We can now focus on immigration relief with USCIS
Next steps for our client:
Step 1: File the I-601A Provisional Waiver
This waiver asks forgiveness for unlawful presence before leaving the U.S. for the consular interview.
Step 2: Once approved → Submit DS-260
This starts consular processing through the National Visa Center.
Step 3: Interview at U.S. Consulate
Client attends interview abroad after waiver approval.
Step 4: Return to the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident 🇺🇸
Administrative closure = breathing room + a clear path forward.
Every case is different, but this was an important step in the right direction.
