City Man Gets Help From Immigration Lawyer

A New York state man that has been calling Saint John home for six years in back in the Port City.
Jeff Curley was told he could not re-enter Canada last week and crossing the border last week to have some paper work corrected.


Immigration Lawyer Lee Cohen is representing Curley and tells CHSJ News he is in the middle of two application processes...one for permanent residency and the other for a work permit.
He says some of the information between the two processes got confused and he believes if the Immigration authorities had been a bit more dilligent they would have been able to find the information.
He says the Canadian border still gets it's pound of flesh since Curley can't work until he completes all his paperwork and complete medical
Cohen believes the media coverage on Curley's sudden deportation last week is part of the reason he was able to meet with Canadian border officials on Friday leading to his being allowed back into the country that night.
