Superando los Desafíos que Cargos Criminales y una Orden de Manutención de Menores Crearon para un Inmigrante

Tabla de Contenidos

    Cuando Germán Muñoz era un adolescente en un pueblo cerca de Medellín, Colombia, durante la década de 1990, esta era una región abrumada por la violencia de narcoterroristas, organizaciones criminales y milicias armadas o paramilitares. Germán también enfrentaba un problema que le hizo las cosas aún más difíciles, su familia era muy pobre, siendo mantenida solo por una madre soltera. Debido a estas circunstancias, Germán se vió obligado a buscar una vida mejor en los Estados Unidos cuando tenía solo 16 años.

    Era muy joven y estaba solo en un país desconocido y, lamentablemente, se encontró con las personas equivocadas, quienes eventualmente lo introdujeron en el mundo de las drogas.  Germán terminó consumiendo drogas para superar su soledad y desesperación, lo que solo empeoró las cosas, hasta que un día fue arrestado por la policía y acusado de posesión de cocaína con la intención de distribuirla.

    Para un muchacho de 19 años en un país extranjero, la cárcel era aterradora y tuvo dificultades para conseguir la fianza de 2.000 dólares que el juez había ordenado. Después de una semana en prisión, finalmente pudo conseguir que un usurero pagara la fianza, pero tuvo que devolverle el doble con intereses y fue advertido de no volviera a la corte hasta que devolviera todo el dinero. Basándose en esa amenaza, Germán no regresó a la corte.

    Poco después de salir de la cárcel, su vida cambió con el nacimiento de su hija. German descubrió que no necesitaba drogas porque tenía que cuidar a su hija y durante años estuvo libre de problemas.

    Aunque ya no estaba involucrado con droga y no se metió en más problemas con la policía, era difícil para Germán ganar lo suficiente para mantener a su hija sin documentación legal para trabajar, y era difícil criar a un niño sin la ayuda de ninguna familia. Como resultado, la madre de la niña, Sandra, le pidió a Germán que llevara a su hija a Colombia, donde él podría criarla con el apoyo de la familia de Sandra, mientras ella esperaba obtener estatus legal en los EE. UU. Germán estuvo de acuerdo. Durante 3 años, Germán crió a su hija en Colombia con la ayuda de la familia de Sandra, pero sin Sandra. Su relación con Sandra terminó durante esta separación, y una vez que Sandra fue residente permanente legal americana , regresó a Colombia y se trajo a su hija de regreso a los EE. UU.

    Su regreso a los EE. UU. tomó tiempo, pero finalmente pudo ingresar al país por segunda vez, sin permiso. Durante todo el tiempo que Germán estuvo en otro país separado de su hija, el nunca la desamparó y enviaba diligentemente los pagos a su madre cada mes. El único problema era que los pagos fueron en efectivo y la madre nunca informó al gobierno que los había recibido. Sin que German lo supiera, el estado de Massachusetts emitió una orden de arresto contra él por supuestamente no pagar la manutención de su hija, y cuando presentó una petición en la corte para establecer derechos de visita por recomendación de su nueva novia, Germán fue detenido bajo la falsa acusación de que no haber mantenido a su hija. Para empeorar las cosas, el tribunal penal donde había sido acusado cuando era adolescente había emitido una orden de arresto en su contra, cuando este no había regresado años atrás y más tarde ICE le colocó una orden de detención de inmigración. Fue en ese momento cuando su novia se puso en contacto con el abogado FitzGerald.

    El abogado FitzGerald diseñó una estrategia en tres etapas para resolver las “ordenes de detención”. La manutención de los hijos era la más simple, por lo que se abordaría primero. Esto solo requería una declaración juramentada y registros bancarios que probaran que  había realizado los pagos de manutención de su hija años atrás, así como un reconocimiento de su obligación continua de mantener a su hija.

    En segundo lugar, el abogado FitzGerald abordaría el cargo pendiente por drogas. Para ello, German tuvo que aceptar permanecer detenido mientras el abogado FitzGerald defendía el caso penal, a pesar de que el tribunal le concedió la restitución de su fianza y esta vez por sólo 1.000.00 dólares. El caso penal podía llevar algún tiempo, pero German aceptó seguir las instrucciones de FitzGerald Law Company. El abogado FitzGerald sospechaba que las pruebas que el gobierno afirmaba haber tenido diez años atrás no estarían disponibles y tuvo razón. El fiscal no pudo presentar pruebas suficientes y, por lo tanto, después de unos 45 días, se desestimó la acusación penal.

    Muchas personas habrían aprovechado la oportunidad de salir de custodia penal pagando una fianza de 1.000.00, pero la paciencia de German y la confianza en nuestro consejo darían sus frutos.

    La orden de detención de inmigración de ICE hubiera sido imposible de combatir si hubiera habido un proceso judicial abierto contra German por no mantener a su hija y por vender drogas, por lo que el abogado FitzGerald sabía que no era prudente ni siquiera intentarlo, porque en los procedimientos de deportación solo se tiene una oportunidad bajo la ley para presentar el caso y ser liberado bajo fianza.

    Además, si Germán hubiera pagado la fianza, lo habrían enviado a una cárcel de inmigración por la orden existente de detención de inmigración y el gobierno federal no lo habría devuelto al tribunal penal estatal, por lo que su caso penal nunca se habría resuelto. Sin la resolución favorable del caso penal, el Tribunal de Inmigración nunca lo habría liberado de custodia y, finalmente, Germán habría sido deportado.

    A este punto, German tenía evidencia de que ambos casos se habían resuelto favorablemente y evidencia de que era responsable de mantener a su hija ciudadana estadounidense, y fue liberado de custodia de inmigración. Ahora tendríamos que crear una estrategia para ayudarlo a obtener  estatus legal para poder permanecer en los EE. UU. junto a su hija.

    Ser libre después de meses de detención, se sintió increíble, reunirse con su hija, indescriptible, pero German sabía que este era solo el primer paso en un largo trayecto y comprendió que su posibilidad de permanecer permanentemente en los EE. UU. todavía era escasa.

    ¡Nunca nos Dimos por Vencidos!

    Al ser liberado de su detención de inmigración en Pensilvania, Germán regresó a Boston y se casó con su novia, quien lo había apoyado durante todo el tiempo que pasó en prisión. Su nombre era María Luciana y, aunque nació en Medellín, Colombia, ahora era ciudadana estadounidense naturalizada.

    Desafortunadamente, Germán no pudo solicitar la residencia basándose en su matrimonio con una ciudadana estadounidense, porque había reingresado a los Estados Unidos sin permiso, por lo que el abogado FitzGerald tuvo que idear una alternativa. Primero, Germán necesitaba un permiso de trabajo para poder encontrar un empleo legalmente, obtener una licencia de conducir, pagar impuestos y ayudar a mantener a su familia.

    Existe una solicitud de residencia, el formulario EOIR-42B, que se puede presentar ante el Tribunal de Inmigración, de conformidad con una ley de inmigración, la Sección 240A(b) de la INA, comúnmente conocida como la “Ley de los 10 años“, y al presentarla, la persona se vuelve elegible para un permiso de trabajo. En ese momento, Germán ya llevaba diez años en los Estados Unidos, interrumpidos brevemente por su estancia en Colombia, y Germán tenía pruebas para cumplir con los demás requisitos de la ley, por lo que preparamos y presentamos esta petición ante el Tribunal. Poco después de presentar la petición, Germán recibió su número de Seguro Social y su permiso de trabajo, y por primera vez en mucho tiempo, sintió que estaba en un lugar al que pertenecía y que todo estaba a su alcance.

    Hubo una audiencia inicial ante el Tribunal de Inmigración en la que se programó un juicio final para determinar si se ordenaría o no la deportación de Germán. La audiencia final se programó para una fecha tres años después. Durante estos tres años, Germán y su esposa trabajaron arduamente para obtener pruebas que respaldaran su reclamo, pero había un problema con el tiempo que Germán pasó fuera de los Estados Unidos, y era poco probable que el juez lo excusara, y esto lo haría inelegible para la Residencia Americana.

    Las alternativas a las que se enfrentaba Germán eran pocas; si tenía que abandonar los Estados Unidos debido a una deportación, probablemente nunca podría regresar. Para complicar aún más la situación, su esposa sufría de un problema de salud mental que requería que recibiera un tratamiento aquí que no recibiría en Colombia.

    30 días antes de la audiencia, se presentaron los documentos finales ante la Corte, incluido un memorando sobre el tiempo que Germán estuvo fuera de los EE. UU. Una semana antes del juicio, la Corte emitió un fallo, declarando que Germán no era elegible para la residencia y ordenando que fuera deportado a su país.

    Esta noticia no fue completamente inesperada, pero aun así fue desgarradora para Germán y su familia. El abogado FitzGerald le dijo a Germán que el fallo podía ser apelado y, si bien no era probable que se revocara, al menos le daría tiempo. La Junta de Apelaciones de Inmigración revisó su caso durante los siguientes 3 años, lo que le dio a Germán más tiempo para trabajar con un permiso de trabajo, ahorrar dinero y prepararse para opciones más allá de los Estados Unidos.

    Durante los 6 años que su caso estuvo esperando por una fecha de juicio y en apelación, Germán y su esposa, María Luciana, tuvieron 2 hijos. Germán mantenía una relación cercana con su hija y apoyaban a todos sus hijos con su arduo trabajo. Extender su tiempo en los EE. UU. era tan importante que fue un alivio increíble cuando la BIA dictaminó que Germán tenía derecho a una audiencia en corte, por lo que su caso fue remitido al Tribunal de Inmigración en Boston.

    Justo en ese momento, hubo un cambio significativo en la ley. Las exenciones I-601 (perdones de inmigración) anteriormente tenían que procesarse cuando un solicitante estaba fuera de los Estados Unidos en un consulado, lo que causaba que las personas tuvieran que estar separadas de sus familias durante años mientras esperaban que se adjudicaran las exenciones. La administración Obama-Biden emitió una nueva regulación que permite que las exenciones I-601A se soliciten para las personas mientras permanecen en los EE. UU., eliminando esos largos períodos de separación. El abogado FitzGerald le aconsejó a Germán que debían solicitar al juez de inmigración que le otorgara tiempo adicional para solicitar esta nueva exención a través de una petición de su cónyuge ciudadana estadounidense. El Tribunal aceptó la prórroga y, como resultado, también se le extendió el permiso para trabajar y permanecer en los EE. UU. para sustentar a su familia. Finalmente, después de un período de más de 4 años, resultó que la anterior salida de Germán de los EE. UU. le impediría nuevamente obtener la residencia a través de la exención I-601A.

    Como el tiempo de Germán en los EE. UU. parecía estar disminuyendo, hubo otro cambio en la ley. La Corte Suprema dictaminó que un procedimiento de expulsión/deportación que el gobierno hubiera iniciado con una Notificación de comparecencia (NTA) incompleta, específicamente una en la que faltaba la hora y la fecha de la audiencia inicial, era defectuoso y no impediría que una persona acumulara los 10 años de la ley 240A(B) (conocida como la “ley de los 10 años”). El abogado FitzGerald revisó la NTA en el caso de Germán y era defectuosa, lo que potencialmente lo hacía finalmente elegible para la residencia de Estados Unidos.

    La Ley de los 10 años tiene 4 requisitos básicos: haber permanecido 10 años en los EE. UU. antes de que se inicie debidamente un proceso de deportación, tener familiares que califiquen con estatus de ciudadanía o residencia (padres, cónyuge o hijos menores de 21 años), poseer buena conducta y evidencia de que un familiar que califique sufriría una dificultad extrema y excepcionalmente inusual por la deportación de la persona.

    2 de los 3 hijos de Germán sufrían de una enfermedad poco común, mutismo selectivo, y su esposa estaba en terapia. Germán había sido la principal fuente de apoyo para su familia. Trabajaba duro, pagaba sus impuestos y no recibía ayuda del gobierno, por lo que claramente calificaba para la residencia bajo esta ley.

    El abogado FitzGerald y su equipo presentaron todas las pruebas ante el Tribunal, prepararon a Germán y a su esposa para testificar y, después de más de 16 años de procedimientos legales, Germán tuvo su juicio y el juez de inmigración y el abogado del gobierno acordaron que se le debía otorgar la residencia.

    Cuando Germán comenzó su trayectoria con FitzGerald Law Company, sus expectativas eran limitadas: quedar libre de custodia, obtener permiso para trabajar, un número de Seguro Social y, finalmente, una licencia de conducir. Sin embargo, gracias a su persistencia y dedicación, junto con nuestro compromiso inquebrantable de hacer todo lo posible para ayudar a nuestros clientes, pudo lograr mucho más: una familia, un hogar, el estatus de residente permanente y, algún día, la ciudadanía estadounidense.

    I wouldn't hesitate to hire them if I needed to.

    My husband and I are going through the US immigration process through consular processing in Canada. We hit an unexpected hitch in our process, and we were panicked and seeking out attorneys who could advise us what was happening with my husband's case. This firm took my emotional call and talked me through where we were in our process, what the likely outcome and timeline was based on their past cases supported, etc. and talked through all the details of our case. We talked for a good 15-20 minutes and they didn't charge me a dime. I felt so re-assured by the end of the conversation that our case will resolve soon. We haven't gotten the visa issued just yet, but we're remaining hopeful and will be contacting this company again as soon as anything goes astray. I really appreciated their care for a potential client, considering how emotional and scary the process can be. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them if I needed to.
