Mr. Vedder represented Respondent, M. S., before the immigration court
in Orlando. DHS was seeking his removal because CIS denied his joint petition
I-751 and placed him in removal proceedings.
At the individual hearing December 31 DHS opposed granting the I-751 and
called witnesses to support its position. Mr. Vedder successfully argued
that the operative fact was the original purpose the marriage was entered
into and the Government, which had the burden of proof, offered no evidence
indicating the parties’ original intent was not bona fide. The I-751
was granted and proceedings were terminated.
