Cuban national who has been a lawful permanent resident since 1996 was placed in removal proceedings due to three criminal convictions in 1997, 1998, and 2000. We applied for a stand-alone waiver under Section 212(h) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. After a full merits hearing before an Immigration Judge, the waiver was granted with no appeal from the Department of Homeland Security.

Waiver granted, green card retained.
