Our client, a Jamaican National, was arrested four times in the past for domestic violence and possession with intent to deliver a large amount of marijuana. Ultimately, each case was dismissed but our client was denied a green card by USCIS both on discretion and on “Reason to Believe” he is a drug trafficker. “Reason to Believe” is a legal term and this allows USCIS to deny a green card based on a reasonable belief that the person is a drug trafficker even without a conviction.
At a removal proceedings hearing before a Miami Immigration Judge, our client and his wife testified. Although it was a close call for the Immigration Judge, he ultimately decided in our client’s favor. We showed that he was a person of good moral character and his wife testified to how important he is to the family.
