Statutes also referred to as codes, are laws written and enacted by the legislative branch of government

Ling entered the United States on an F-1 student visa in 2014. She stopped attending school two years
after she arrived. She is now married to a U.S. citizen and is applying for adjustment of status. Does
Ling need to be concerned about the grounds of inadmissibility, deportability, or both?
The correct answer is both. Ling entered with inspection and is eligible to file for adjustment of status. All
applicants for adjustment are subject to the grounds of inadmissibility.If Ling is denied adjustment of
status and placed into removal proceedings, she is subject to the grounds of deportability because she
violated the terms of her student visa.

,Wu, from China, has been an LPR since 2005. Ten years ago, Wu was convicted of larceny and
sentenced to two years of probation. Which of the statements below best describes Wu's
circumstances:
If Wu is placed in removal proceedings, he will be charged with a ground of deportability because he was
inspected and admitted as a lawful permanent resident. The fact that Wu was only sentenced to
probation does not mean that his conviction can't make him deportable. Similarly, Wu is not protected
from being placed in removal proceedings simply because many years have gone by since he was
convicted.
There is a specific ground of deportability for certain firearm offenses but no parallel ground of
inadmissibility for a conviction for certain firearm offenses.
Under INA § 237(a)(2)(C), a noncitizen is deportable if at any time after admission, he or she is convicted
of any law of purchasing, selling, exchanging, using, owning, possessing or carrying any weapon in
violation of law or conspiring or attempting to do the same. There is no parallel ground of inadmissibility
specifically for firearm offenses.
If you encounter a client with prior arrests or convictions, which of the following should you do to
better understand the consequences of your client's conduct:
Counsel your client about the importance of providing information to you about all prior contacts with
law enforcement; DHS will have this information and you need it too in order to counsel the client. Do a
law enforcement data base check (FBI records check and/or state records check) to find out your client's
arrest history. Do a FOIA for your client's immigration records if s/he has ever been detained or in
immigration court. Obtain copies of all court records related to charges brought against your client.
, In 2014 Enrique sent money to his brother Manuel to buy a fake visa to travel to the United States.
Enrique and Manuel now reside together in Chicago and both are planning to immigrate soon through
petitions filed by their LPR father. Which of the following statements is most accurate about Enrique:
Enrique is not eligible to immigrate because he is inadmissible for smuggling and does not qualify for a
waiver. Financial support for the brother to buy the fake visa is aiding and abetting smuggling. Enrique is
not eligible to apply for a waiver of the inadmissibility because he smuggled someone other than his
parent, spouse, son, or daughter.

Pedro was brought into the U.S. without inspection by his mother in 2008 when he was 4 years old. He
and his mother returned to Mexico a year and a half later, stayed a month, and then re-entered the
U.S. without inspection. Pedro turned 18 four months ago and is married to a U.S. citizen. He wants to
consular process. You advise him that:
He is subject to the permanent bar. Pedro accrued more than a year of unlawful presence between the
time he entered without inspection in 2008 and his departure a year and a half later. For this reason, he
triggered the permanent bar when he reentered without inspection. Unfortunately the exception to
accrual of unlawful presence for minors under 18 only applies to unlawful presence for purposes of the 3
and 10 year bars. There is no such exception for purposes of the permanent bar. Therefore Pedro did
trigger the permanent bar when he reentered without inspection as a young child, and he will need to
stay outside the U.S. for 10 years before he may apply for permission to reapply for admission.
