To honor Hispanic Heritage month we wanted to share with you the story of Enrique Escobar. He was in deportation proceedings and almost lost hope when he contacted us. 

Enrique Escobar is an ordained Methodist minister who came legally on a religious worker visa and found himself in removal proceedings by mistake, after a critical notice from USCIS was lost in the mail, causing him to file his application for permanent residence too late. The application was denied when he filed it, and he was told to report to an Immigration Judge to face removal from the United States.  

Rev. Escobar had reached out to several lawyers who told him that nothing could be done in his case, and following a consultation with Weinstock Immigration Lawyers he hired us.  After exhaustive research on the case we argued to the judge to why his application for permanent residence should have been accepted and approved despite the delay in filing it.  

After being in removal proceedings for 4 � years, Rev. Escobar's case was terminated and a few months later, he was approved for permanent residence or green card. He is now able to carry on his holy work working with Hispanic families in Alabama without fear of deportation.
