From Removal Order to Green Card Hope: A Sri Lankan Mother's Immigration Journey

Headline: Sri Lankan Mother Wins Green Card Battle After Years of Legal Fight Summary: A Sri Lankan mother living in the United States has finally won her fight for a green card after years of legal battles. Her case highlights the complexities of the US immigration system and the importance of having legal representation. Details: The mother, whose name has been withheld for privacy reasons, initially entered the US on a tourist visa and sought asylum. However, her asylum application was denied, and a removal order was issued. She felt "stuck and discouraged" for years, especially as her children were born in the US. Her lawyer, McBean Immigration Law, explains that the case took so long because of the time it took to get approval from ICE to reopen the case. Quote from Lawyer: "Although things are very serious with immigration now, I'm sharing these success stories with you to let you know what is possible and to encourage you to take that next move that you need in your journey towards lawful status." Outcome: The mother's son recently turned 21 and filed an I-130 petition for her, which was approved. McBean Immigration Law used this approval to seek prosecutorial discretion with ICE, leading to the termination of the removal order. The mother can now pursue adjustment of status with USCIS and is one step closer to obtaining her green card. This case serves as a testament to the perseverance of immigrants and the importance of seeking legal assistance.
