Challenges to Lawful Permanent Resident Status
Lawful permanent residents can face removal proceedings, rescission allegations, accusations of fraud or misrepresentation, and disputes over whether permanent residence was lawfully obtained.
When the government challenges a green card
Lawful permanent residents can face removal allegations based on criminal convictions, fraud or misrepresentation, abandonment of residence, or other statutory grounds. The government must establish the applicable legal basis; the proof and procedural framework vary.
Rescission, removal, and federal challenges
Rescission of adjustment, removal proceedings, and later agency denials are distinct processes. We evaluate statutory defenses, available waivers, administrative appeals, and judicial review.
