I-360 Dismissed — Battered Spouse (2005): the petitioner failed to overcome the director's finding

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to overcome the director's finding that she did not establish she had been battered or subjected to extreme cruelty by her U.S. citizen spouse, nor that she was a person of good moral character. On appeal, the petitioner's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel was not properly substantiated according to legal standards and was therefore rejected.
