Q: If a 1203.4 was granted in CA on a first time cont-substance, is it enough to disturb the immigration removal in 1st dis
The original immigration proceedings started in CA .. but due to a change of venue the final removal order was given in MA- I know the 9th district and the 1st district treat immigration matters differently, but what rules apply when attempting to reopen?
