Safe Havens

Similarly, the client’s immigration record can exert a powerful influence on the question whether a safe haven exists.  If the client has been ordered deported many times, and has returned illegally over and over again, it is less likely the courts will find a safe haven exists.  A finding of marriage fraud, or visa fraud, or another abuse of the immigration system will similarly reduce the chances of finding a safe haven exists.  On the other hand, if the client has not been found to have abused the immigration courts or agencies, the chances that the court will find a safe haven are increased.
