A Cuban living in the state of Kansas, in the United States, had a great scare when in the document in which he was denied permanent residence through the Cuban Adjustment Act, he found a requirement from the immigration authorities: leave the country within a period of no more than 33 days or face deportation proceedings.
Asked about that case by the journalist from UnivisionJavier Díaz, the lawyer José Guerrero, downplayed the fact, and specified that it is a “generic letter” that USCIS sends in such cases, but that it does not really entail the danger of deportation, as the affected person thought.
“There should be no alarm. This is going to happen in many cases (…) That language is a generic language. It is a generic language regardless of nationality. It does not matter if it is Cuban or any other nationality. When you tell him They deny that residency, if you fall under that category that indicates that you were out of status, in this case you arrived, you crossed borders, you were out of status…. then they send you this letter saying you have to leave the United States in 33 days after this decision and that if not they will send you a notice of appearance,” he explained
“This is going to happen. You are going to go back to court. And you are going to have to basically continue fighting your residency for the I-220A, which we also know that the judges are going to deny you, until you reach an appeal and eventually reach a federal appeals court,” Guerrero added.
The lawyer urged those who receive a similar document not to be alarmed and to move forward in their battle for residency.
