Fifth Circuit Applies no Deference to BIA’s Hardship Determination

bia

The Fifth Circuit has affirmed the agency’s hardship,
Finding in a cancellation of removal case,
Finding that even if it accorded that determination no deference,
The applicant had not established that his U.S.-citizen son
Would suffer exceptional
And extremely unusual hardship without him.

Federal Register Notice Released: DHS Implements ‘Keeping Families Together’ Policy

DHS

N—The Department of Homeland Security today announced a Federal Register notice to implement Keeping Families Together, a process for certain noncitizen spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens. This is part of an effort to promote the unity and stability of families, increase the economic prosperity of American communities, strengthen diplomatic relationships with partner countries in the region, reduce strain on limited U.S. government resources, and further national security, public safety, and border security objectives.

Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. “This process to keep U.S. families together will remove these undue barriers for those who would otherwise qualify to live and work lawfully in the U.S., while also creating greater efficiencies in the immigration system, conducting effective screening and vetting, and focusing on noncitizens who contribute to and have longstanding connections within American communities across the country.”
