The immigration club at Cardozo Law School, For Immigration Rights and Equality (“FIRE”), invited me to speak today at a luncheon. I spoke about the mediation process for petitions for review at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Second Circuit Staff Attorney Vidya Kurella also spoke at the luncheon. I always enjoy speaking to law students about immigration law and I hope that what I said today will encourage them to become immigration lawyers.
Client Granted Adjustment of Status
One of my clients had an adjustment of status interview today. Her case had some unusual and complicated legal issues. We arrived at 9:15 AM for the interview at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration office at Long Island City. We didn’t get called until noon. Normally, an interview for adjustment of status is less than thirty minutes. Her interview lasted over an hour. Because the case was so complicated, the officer asked us to wait while she conferred with her supervisor. At 2:00, the officer called us back in for an additional thirty minutes. However, when it was all over, my client was granted a green card and had her passport stamped. Ultimately, it was well worth the wait!
I Spoke at the NY AILA Chapter’s Monthly Meeting
I was on a panel that spoke at tonight’s monthly meeting for the NY Chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. I spoke on a panel of immigration attorneys that consisted of H. Raymond Fasano and David Isaacson. We spoke about new court decisions that immigration lawyers should know about. I spoke about recent cases from the Supreme Court about immigration. The Hon. Robert Katzmann of the Second Circuit and Katherine O’Hagan Wolfe, the clerk of the Second Circuit were also speakers tonight.
