Rosché Immigration Law PLLC

For this week's WEDNESDAY WIN, we’re celebrating a client’s win from court yesterday!
Here’s the deal:
When the government wants to deport someone, the starting point is a document called a Notice to Appear (NTA). It is the charging document that officially opens removal proceedings against a person in immigration court.
The law is clear: No valid NTA, no valid case.
In our client's case, the NTA went to a wrong address, came back marked undeliverable, and ICE did nothing to fix it. They even continued sending other correspondence to that same wrong address after getting proof it wasn't reaching her. Our client had no idea that removal proceedings had been opened against her at all!
So, we filed a motion to terminate. The argument was simple: the case was never properly started, because the government never properly served her. The court agreed. On Tuesday, the immigration judge terminated the case!
If you or someone you love has ever received confusing or incomplete paperwork from immigration authorities, or nothing at all, it is worth talking to an attorney. Procedural errors like this one matter. They can change everything.
Congratulations to this client! Here's to hope, one win at a time.
