The Calderon settlement offers significant relief for certain immigrants in New England who have final orders of removal. Under this settlement, eligible individuals married to U.S. citizens may be able to reopen and dismiss their removal cases, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) expected to support these motions. However, the window for eligibility is narrow, and individuals must act quickly to take advantage of this opportunity.
Key Details:
- Eligibility: Applies to individuals with final orders of removal married to U.S. citizens residing in New England.
- ICE’s role: ICE cannot detain or remove eligible individuals during the settlement period unless specific findings are made.
- Documentation required: Must include proof of residence in New England, I-130 filing status, and confirmation of a final order of removal.
- Deadline: January 16, 2027, for submitting requests under the Calderon settlement.
This settlement could provide a crucial lifeline for many immigrants unaware of their options. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
