The nightmare that resulted in Jaime Avalos being stuck in Mexico and away from his family for months is finally over.
It was discovered that following his initial entry to the U.S. as an infant, Avalos was taken to Mexico, at which time his birth was registered in Oaxaca, Green said. Then, he returned to the U.S. permanently.
"To deny Mr. Avalos reentry to the country he calls home, as well as separate him from his American-born wife and 11-month-old baby for 10 years, is unconscionable," Congressman Green said at the time. In addition, he's visited Avalos in Mexico, spoke about his plight in Congress, and even pressed President Biden during the State of the Union."This is just the beginning, not the end for the family," said Salem, who began representing them after Avalos got stuck due to bad advice from his previous attorney.
"It happens all the time," said Salem, who says immigrant families are particularly vulnerable to inexperienced attorneys and notaries who are not licensed to practice law.
