Convicted marijuana’s planter/grower saved from deportation

About two years ago, Mr. Chang came to our office with a very serious problem: He was placed in removal proceedings upon returning from China due to his 2015 conviction in planting and growing marijuana in California.  He has an individual hearing set for 2021.

Mr. Chang has a wife and two young children here.  He is the family's  main wage earner. 

We carefully reviewed and researched his case, and we determined that there is a way to set aside his conviction.  Without the conviction record, he cannot be deported.

After almost one year of effort, Chang's criminal conviction was set aside.  We then filed a motion with the immigration court to terminate the removal proceedings.  Yesterday, our motion was granted by the immigration judge.

 

Now Mr. Chang can stay with his family without the fear of deportation.  

 

Congratulations, Mr. Chang!
