Visualizing The Hardship Of Spouses After Family Separation

One of the quirks about hardship law is that it is the immigrant’s citizen or permanent resident spouse’s hardship that counts - not the immigrant’s hardship.

The case, however, begins and centers on the spouse who is in the U.S. with legal status.
