period initially expired she waited for the spark until she applied and then about four months after should be applied it was finally granted really she's not you know law confused this but it's my impression as i go through this case i couldn't figure out what had happened when she initially applied because i go through here it looks like there's no need for rejection for reasons that aren't clear and yet at the same time she gets that first two year voluntary departure period and i think it led to a concern on my part that well there's a processing error on the government's side in terms of dealing with her paperwork that's something that shouldn't come back to haunt her either i go you want to address the first point first what's your minor  guess and that's that's what it's now up to her and the fact that she's committed a crime i suppose that a separate kind of concern that we're talking here about how what's your ability for a waiver of removal and not talking about the ultimate decision because it doesn't belong to us it belongs to the attorney general it should be restrict the finding as the home the attorney general and exercise discretion given of the ultimate decision is committed in a certain circumstance where the problems accepting them are plainly about other paperwork for writing and there's no doubt that she has been here that the government's been conscious of her being here in the know what is much bothered by the fact that she was here it may not be like letting your driver's license lapse or where you finally get around to getting it renewed but it's it doesn't seem to be an offense of the kind that should or could be argued it doesn't seem to be offensive the kind that you keep the attorney general from being able to decide whether or not waiver just seems like an awfully strange place to be devoting the time and energy of homeland security to remove someone who's been here for eighteen years never left the months after that fact so says the original legalization program was designed to get someone from lawful temporary resident to live for permanent residence within two year time two years time then it would be reasonable to suggest that status that's so yes there were some acts of government that there was some type of government action which led to the long period of time during which she was without a lawful permanent resident status however i believe when the government argues that voluntary departure is as is that that's correct but i would assert that the family unity program also gave applicants and the beneficiaries of s know and i don't know and we don't know because the paperwork is incomplete even at the lowest level as to why well they were just a voluntary departure paperwork was which was independent of the family and i applied both at the local level and at the regular service and and the law school apply under the father under barter to try to get as much paperwork and they just could not produce the paperwork we needed to relevant here and i believe because she was a minor even know you know and then there was it's a different sort of law that that whole common law idea that the minor follows the parent is
