Motion to Reopen to rid of Removal Order to proceed with USC son’s I-130 petition

June 11, 2014

I met with a man in Tukwila, yesterday, who entered the USA with a tourist visa and whose 25yo son is a US citizen. Easy, right? Son petitions for dad, and dad gets a green card. The problem is a removal order from two years ago. Apparently he never received the Notice of Hearing from the court and so he was ordered removed in absentia (in his absence). The plan is to file a Motion to Reopen, and then we can proceed with the green card application based on son’s petition.
