[Title] => DHS instructed to dismiss certain pending deportation/removal cases
[Summary] => Officials at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were recently instructed by Headquarters in Washington D.C. to dismiss (or join in a motion to dismiss) deportation/removal proceedings that are pending before an Immigration Judge, when it is determined that the alien is immediately eligible to adjust status. For example, an alien might be in the middle of deportation/removal proceedings based on a denied asylum case, but is married to a US citizen in a true, love relationship. In such a case, it is likely that adjustment of status would be approved.

[Summary] => In a previous article, I discussed that while a good faith (love) marriage to a U.S. citizen is one of the fastest and easiest ways to get a green card, not everyone is eligible or entitled to adjust status in the U.S., even if they marry a U.S. citizen. In that previous article, I discussed some of the people who would not be entitled to get a greencard in the U.S., through marriage to a U.S. citizen, such as (a) crewmen or those who entered the U.S.
