Immigration seeks deportation of alleged overstaying worker

Posted on May 10 2006
The Division of Immigration has filed a deportation case against an alleged overstaying alien who used to hold an immediate relative permit status.
Immigration investigator Nicolas T. Reyes said Eligio G. Buenaventura, 59, has overstayed in the CNMI for two years and three months and is therefore a deportable alien.
Superior Court Associate Judge David Wiseman ordered Buenaventura to appear in court on June 8 at 1:30pm to explain why he should not be deported from the Commonwealth.
Reyes said Buenaventura was issued an Immediate Relative entry permit on Dec. 12, 2002 that expired on Feb. 7, 2004.
Reyes said the respondent submitted an application for his renewal at the Division of Immigration Processing Section on Feb. 6, 2004.
On April 6, 2004, the Foreign Investment Review Committee at the Department of Commerce denied the application for a long-term business certification by Mrs. Amelia M. Buenaventura, the principal sponsor of the respondent.
Reyes said that on Dec. 12, 2005, the acting Immigration director denied Mr. Buenaventura’s application.
The investigator said the principal and a member of the immediate family of the holder of a long-term business entry permit may be issued an entry permit for the same duration as that of the holder.
Labor and Immigration records indicate that Buenaventura started to work on Saipan in 1996 at Fortune International Inc.
