Motions and Briefs
Sample motions and briefs should be used as a guide
only. Please make sure you do not just resubmit the same
briefs and motions. If too many similar filings are made, it
can raise questions of fraud with DHS. Thank you.
Motion to Reconsider Denial of Adjustment prepared by Nadia
Gareeb, Senior Staff Attorney, inMotion, Inc. for a case where the
AOS was denied because the VAWA self-petitioner entered the country
on a K-1 Visa, even though she did marry the K-1 petitioner.

Appeals Courts
5th Circuit
• 5th Circuit upholds IJ's
ruling that that petitioner was removable and ineligible for
adjustment of status because of a false claim to citizenship on a
job application. Theodros v.
Gonzales, Case #05-60980 5th Cir., June 25, 2007.
5th
Circuit vacates and remands BIA decision regarding GMC stating that
while petitioner did misrepresent his address to an asylum officer, he
did not intend to do so to obtain an immigration benefit.
In addition, the Court found that the BIA decision was reviewable
under the 2005 REALID Act.
Gonzalez-Maldenado
v. Gonzalez, Case #05-60924 5th Cir. May 25, 2007.
District Court Opinions
District Court finds 5 year delay in adjudicating an adjustment
of status application is unreasonable and orders DHS to decide the
application within 2 months. Saleem v.
Keisler, Case #06-C-712-C (W.D. Wis., Oct. 26, 2007).
Legal Opinion from INS General Counsel re: fiance
and fiancees who marry later than 90 days after entry.
The Opinion dated July 24, 1991, states that K-1
who marry later than 90 days after entry may adjust if their spouse
then files an I-130 which is approved. While the opinion does not
mention I-360s, but may be used to argue that K-1s who enter and
marry the K-1 sponsor after the 90 days have passed.
