We had a Family Court hearing on Friday July 26 2013. A new judge was assigned to the case. The Taking Parent's request to reduce the number of monitors during Supervised Visitation was denied. We keep 2 monitors during the visits to help ensure there is no re-abduction. We also reduced the number of supervised visits from 3 weekends a month to 2 weekends.
The Taking Parent also requested the court's order to allow her to give the boys clothing as gifts. I agreed provided the clothing is mailed directly from an on-line retailer. Back in Feb 2012, I found a piece of paper with phone numbers for mother's friends and attorney after a supervised visitation (we changed monitors after that). I don't want to be put in a position where I have to go through all the pockets and seams to make sure there are no hidden messages. The judge agreed. Even after the judge said he would allow the clothing via an on-line retailer, the Taking Parent continued to argue for permission to allow her to give the boys clothing she has already purchased. The judged denied her request.
The Taking Parent's 3rd Immigration Court hearing is coming up on August 23, 2013. I read where a defendant undergoing deportation can ask friends and family to write the immigration judge to allow him/her to stay. I am asking for help to write the immigration judge Tara Naselow-Naha's to not exercise any discretion and waive the removal order. If anyone has time, please consider a letter to the immigration judge before the August 23rd hearing. A template is appended below if you have time. Thanks very much.

Judge Tara Naselow-Nahas 606 S. Olive Street 17th Floor, Courtroom T Los Angeles, CA 90014 [font=]Re: [/font]Removal Proceedings for Yuxin Mei WANG (A055170469)
[font=]Dear Judge Naselow-Nahas:[/font]
[font=]Minors Christopher Ko and William Ko were kidnapped to Singapore by Yuxin Mei Wang on August 30, 2009. [/font]
[font=]Wang was wanted by the FBI and Interpol on multiple warrants. [/font]The father of the children Andrew Ko endured an 18-month legal process in Singapore and was successful in bringing his children home to the United States on March 15, 2011.
[font=]Wang returned to the United States on May 30, 2011 and was paroled into the United States, arrested, prosecuted and sentenced for Felony kidnapping by the Los Angeles County District Attorney Child Abduction Unit.[/font]
[font=]On July 12 2012, Wang was served a “Notice to Appear” (Subject ID 343692586; Event No. LOS1207000204) by agents of DHS ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations and charged with “Document Fraud” in relation to her US Permanent Residency visa application. [/font]Wang was not divorced when she married Ko and concealed this fact when applying for her immigration visa. Wang had her 2
nd immigration hearing on March 13, 2012 and her next immigration hearing is on August 23, 2013.
[font=]I am writing to ask that your Honor not exercise the Attorney General’s discretion and grant Wang an Immigration and Nationality Act Fraud Waiver. [/font]Wang does not deserve a waiver or cancellation of removal because:
[font=] [/font]1) She was convicted of felony kidnapping for which she was eligible for a sentence of more than 3 years. She was sentenced to 180 days incarceration and 5 years felony probation, was fined, and was ordered to pay victim restitution.
2) Wang was informed at her Sentencing Hearing that her conviction for the offense she was “charged with will have the consequences of deportation, exclusion from admission to the United States, or denial of naturalization pursuant to the laws of the United States.”
3) She knowingly committed bigamy in her marriage to Ko. Both bigamy and Kidnapping are classified as “Crimes of Moral Turpitude” by the U.S. State Department (Foreign Affairs Manual Volume 9 FAM 40.21(a) N2.3-3 Moral Turpitude).
4) There is no “exceptional and extremely unusual hardship” on her teenage U.S. citizen children because she does not have any legal or physical custody of them; and she is only granted Supervised Visitation for 14 hours a month. She does not provide any financial, emotional, or physical care for the children.
5) She does not have residence of long duration in this country. Wang departed the U.S. on August 30, 2009 and returned on May 30, 2011. According to Consular Officer Rachel Sunden at the Singapore U.S. Embassy, Wang’s green card had expired because she stayed out of the U.S. for more than 12 months. Wang was
paroled and not legally admitted into the US when she returned to Los Angeles on May 30, 2011.
6) Wang has no business or property ties to the U.S. Wang’s family is in her home country of Singapore with a son, her mother, six siblings, and nine nieces/nephews living there.
7) Wang did not file US Income Tax Returns for 2009, 2010 and 2011 when due.
Wang remains an abduction threat to her children according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
9) Wang continues an attitude of contempt and remains in violation of conditions of her felony probation by not obeying all orders of the Los Angeles County Family Court as ordered in her felony sentencing.
[font=]I implore your Honor not to exercise the Attorney General’s discretion and deny Wang’s request for any waiver or cancellation of removal under the Immigration and Nationality Act at the August 23, 2013 immigration hearing.[/font]
[font=]Sincerely,[/font]
