IMMIGRATION APPLICATIONS DELAYED/PUT ON HOLD DUE TO ALLEGED TERRORIST INVOLVEMENT

Thousands of immigrants from many countries including Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Nepal and others have had their adjustment of status applications (I-485) and family petitions (I-730) put on hold by the immigration service due to the fact that they “appear inadmissible” due to 212(a)(3)(B). If you have contacted immigration regarding your application, you may have received a response similar to the following:

“Your case is on hold because you appear to be inadmissible under 212(a)(3)(B) of the INA, and USCIS currently has no authority not to apply the inadmissibility ground(s) to which you appear to be subject. Rather than denying your application based on inadmissibility, we are holding adjudication in abeyance while the Department of Homeland Security considers additional exercises of the Secretary of Homeland Security’s discretionary exemption authority. Such an exercise of the exemption authority might allow us to approve your case.”

If you have received notice to this effect, you are not alone. More than 8,500 people, and possibly up to 10,000 people, are stuck in limbo because of this provision of law. This is obviously a huge problem.

Immigration Attorney Robert Perkins, also known as The Immigration Professor, is currently working on a solution to this issue. If you fall in this category because you appear inadmissible due to 212(a)(3)(B), please contact our office at 310-384-0200 to discuss your case with the attorney. For cases arising in Northern California, we are working in concert with the Law Offices of Jeffrey O’Brien so please contact them directly at (415) 438-0229 .
