The American Immigration Lawyers Association has posted the following announcement:
Laurie Kozuba, a US citizen married to a Canadian national LPR, has organized a group called Citizens and Immigrants for Equal Justice (CIEJ). CIEJ is a coalition of citizen and resident alien family members of immigrants adversely affected by AEDPA and IIRAIRA. Mrs. Kozuba’s husband was granted relief from deportation under INA Sec. 212(c) in 1993 but the INS appealed that grant.
Unfortunately, his case was pending at the time AEDPA was enacted and the 212(c) grant has been overturned. Laurie Kozuba is collecting stories of others in similar circumstances and is lobbying members of Congress to change the harsher provisions of the new laws affecting long time permanent residents who are truly rehabilitated. If you have similarly situated clients, encourage them to contact CIEJ at the following address and number:
CIEJ, Laurie Kozuba, 3701 Hogan Drive, Mesquite, Texas 75150,
Tel.: (972) 279-4168, e-mail: VARIE18187@aol.com
