Immigration cases often present heart-wrenching challenges that require not just legal expertise but also compassion and determination.
One of our clients, a devoted mother of a disabled child, came to us at a time when she felt like she had nowhere left to turn.
Having entered the U.S. in 2012 on a Visitor’s Visa, she had consistently followed the rules, renewing her visa extensions without issue.
However, an unfortunate miscommunication led to the denial of her most recent extension, leaving her uncertain of her future in the U.S. and, more importantly, her ability to care for her son.
This is where we stepped in.
When we first reviewed her case, we saw the gravity of her situation.
The road ahead seemed unclear, but we knew we had to find a solution that would keep her family together.
Our client’s son, a U.S. citizen, faces severe medical challenges that require specialized care, including a life-threatening intestinal disorder.
His condition is complex, involving autism and microvillus inclusion disease—a rare disorder that necessitates ongoing treatments, including a colon transplant.
His health requires constant monitoring and specialized care, which can only be provided with his mother by his side.
After our thorough assessment, we decided to pursue Medical Deferred Action—a policy that allows individuals with urgent medical needs to remain in the U.S. for treatment.
It became clear that without her, her son would not be able to receive the care he desperately needs.
Our client’s presence wasn’t just important—it was essential for his survival and quality of life.
In February 2024, after careful preparation, we submitted the request for Medical Deferred Action to USCIS.
It wasn’t easy, but we held on to the hope that the strength of the medical evidence would make a compelling case.
And in December 2024, we received the news that would change everything: her request had been approved.
She could stay and work in the U.S. to care for her son and ensure he continued to receive the life-saving medical treatments he needs.
This victory wasn’t just legal—it was personal.
It meant that a mother could continue to care for her child without the looming fear of deportation.
It was a powerful reminder that, no matter how complex the case, compassionate advocacy can make a life-changing difference.
