As summer comes to an end and we head into a new season, this month’s celebrates a hard-fought victory that gave a father and daughter the opportunity to finally move forward with certainty in the United States.
After their EB-5 Form I-829 was denied, the clients were placed into removal proceedings. Ilana Snyder, Ron Klasko, and the Klasko Litigation Team renewed the I-829 in Immigration Court and pursued Cancellation of Removal for Certain Lawful Permanent Residents (42A) on their behalf.
The case presented complex legal and factual issues, including the standard of review, the government’s burden of proof, and whether the clients’ investment had created the required 10 U.S. jobs.
Klasko approached the litigation through our 4 P’s: Proactivity, Positivity, Preservation of the Record, and Protection of Your Rights. By identifying critical issues early, developing the evidentiary record, engaging the right expert witnesses, and vigorously protecting the clients’ rights, Ilana and the litigation team successfully litigated the case through trial.
After living in the United States for more than a decade, the clients were able to obtain their permanent, 10-year green cards, allowing them to resume international travel and, importantly, putting them in a position to pursue U.S. citizenship.
As summer winds down, we’re proud to celebrate a new beginning for this family – and a reminder of why thoughtful, strategic immigration litigation matters.
