Ben’s US citizen spouse, who lived in Southern California, came to me for help with her husband’s waiver for his many past criminal convictions ranging from multiple theft crimes to misdemeanour battery, all done when he was in his early 20’s and over 10 years ago. But they were still affecting his ability to immigrate to the US. They had tried applying for a criminal waiver on their own at the Sydney consulate but CIS was not convinced and requested proof of extreme hardship to Ben’s wife, if he was not allowed to return to the US for 10 years. This was an exceptionally difficult case, given Ben’s multiple convictions for breaking and entering, fraud and battery. I got to the root of the problem and talked to him in-depth about his criminal past and what was happening in his life at that point and whether he was really likely to repeat his behaviour issues the immigration would need to understand. I successfully argued not only his rehabilitation to separate him from his past crimes but also argued that his wife’s career, emotional state, family obligation and finances would constitute considerable extreme hardship to her if he was not allowed to return to the US or if she had to move to Australia where he was working and have residency to be with him. Since Australia and even New Zealand where he was from are democratic countries similar in economic opportunities to the US and not typically a place where it’s likely a hardship to live. I had to argue the exceptions to the rule. I was really happy for them when the case came through quickly and it was approved. I received this email from them. “We have gotten word from Bangkok [CIS office] that Ben’s application was approved. The consulate in Sydney is finalizing his visa and they expect he should have it by the end of the week. Thanks! “ About Immigration Attorney Heather L.
