1. Affidavit of DHUNGANA, Dilli Ram in support of Motion to Change Venue in Removal
Proceedings
December………., 2010
TO
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
EXECUTIVE OFFICE FOR IMMIGRATION REVIEW
IMMIGRATION COURT
2009 W. JEFFERSON AVE, SUITE 300
HARLINGEN, TX 78550
In the Matter of
DHUNGANA, Dilli Ram
A 200-812-874
In Removal Proceedings
Hon. Judge,
I, Dilli Ram DHUNGANA make this Affidavit in support of my Motion to Change Venue in
Removal Proceedings as follows:
1) I am a 24 years old native and citizen of Nepal. I was admitted to the United States at
Newark, NJ on or about January 13, 2006 as an F-1 Nonimmigrant student for
duration of status.
2) I violated my F-1 status by failing to maintain a course load that fell below full-time
status. I filed an Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant status (Form I-539)
requesting a reinstatement of her nonimmigrant status on June 23, 2009. My Form I-
539 was denied on March 16, 2010. I was served Notice to Appear on July 08, 2010
by Regular Mail. I am in Removal Proceedings now and I have a Master Calendar
scheduled on November 02, 2010 at 08:30 AM before Immigration Court, Atlanta,
GA 30303 at 08:30 AM.
3) I was a student at North Georgia College & State University, Atlanta, GA. After
becoming out of status, I had no purpose to living at Atlanta, GA. I moved to Queens,
NY on October 05, 2010 where I have supporting friends who can also testify on be-
half of me. I currently resides at 51-01, 39 Avenue, # A31, Sunnyside, NY 11104
with my friends.
4) I concede all the factual allegations that I am removable as charged on the Notice to
Appear. I am seeking relief for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal because of
past persecution and well founded fear of future persecution in Nepal.
5) Without a change of venue, I will experience considerable hardship. Furthermore, it
will impair my ability to adequately prepare for and present my claim and testimony
in support of my relief in removal proceedings.
6) Therefore, I request that my case be transferred from the Immigration Court, Atlanta,
GA to the Immigration Court New York, NY so that I may pursue my case
conveniently.

2. 7) I swear under penalty of perjury that all the information and facts I have provided
here are true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
Respectfully Submitted by
Sincerely,
………………..
