Nunc Pro Tunc Approval after Nine Months of Unlawful Presence: When our client first came to our office, she was heartbroken and filled with uncertainty. She had entered the United States on a B visa, eager to explore educational opportunities. Soon after, she enrolled in ESL classes, taking her first steps toward building a better future. Together with her school, she attempted to change her status to a student visa. However, after months of back and forth with USCIS, her application was ultimately denied. With no clear path forward, her visa expired, and she remained in the U.S. for nine months without valid status. Desperate for help, she consulted with two different attorneys, both of whom told her there was nothing that could be done due to her unlawful presence. Each consultation left her feeling more hopeless than before — until she found our office. The moment she walked through our doors, we knew her story was not over. Our team immediately launched a thorough investigation, gathering key evidence to support her case. Despite the challenges, we refused to give up. After a hard-fought battle with USCIS, we were able to successfully file a retroactive change of status, restoring her legal status in the U.S. But we didn’t stop there. To give our client the flexibility to travel freely during school breaks, we also guided her through consular processing, ultimately securing a student visa stamp on her passport. This case is a true reflection of our office’s resilience, dedication, and unwavering commitment to fighting for each and every client — even when others say it’s impossible. At our firm, we believe every story deserves a fighting chance, and this success story is proof that with the right legal strategy and relentless advocacy, hope can be restored.
