It's that time of the week again! #ImmigrationReviewPodcastMonday. Looks like DHS and DOJ are pushing out some regulations before the end of President Biden's term, and good on them! Perhaps the Attorney General intends to join the party by issuing some precedential immigration decisions before January, like the Trump AGs did? If so, I respectfully request he take a look at Matter of Thomas and Thompson, Attorney General Barr's decision about criminal convictions in the immigration context that vacated [Lebron voice] not one, not two, but THREE precedential BIA decisions. But I digress. Another area ripe for reconsideration is the realm of particularly serious crimes and drug trafficking offenses. To summarize very briefly, in Matter of Y-L-, Attorney General Ashcroft (Ashcroft!) decided that drug trafficking convictions will almost always (always?) bar asylum seekers from everything except CAT deferral. Assuming that a noncitizen's life is legitimately on the line, that is quite the penalty, found nowhere in Congress's many statutes. After some challenges by some very smart lawyers, the First Circuit invited Attorney General Garland to reconsider his predecessor's two-decade old precedent. Yet still, the First Circuit's invitation remains un-responded to. There's still time, Attorney General Garland! Don't keep the First Circuit waiting. That would be just plain rude. 🙂 Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli and Pratt P.A.

There has been a growing trend of ultra vires and ridiculous RFEs and denials of O-1, EB-1 and NIW cases. AILA has recognized this trend and encouraged us to report cases of this nature so they can better track them and address it with USCIS. This, combined with USCIS announcement on how many cases the have cleared makes me think that our document-intensive cases are simply not being reviewed properly. Boilerplate RFEs that ignore much of the evidence of the original submission are becoming commonplace. This is USCIS "strategy" for clearing the backlog of cases. If you don't read them, and "adjudicate" by denying them or ignoring evidence, it seems a very efficient way to process these quickly from their perspective. What can we do? Refile? Respond to the RFEs and threaten lawsuits? File a lawsuit? The appeals process is laughable, time-consuming and largely ineffective. Filing federal lawsuits is outside most of our practice areas and capabilities. How are you handling these? https://lnkd.in/gWGW9XbW

One common misconception we often hear as personal injury attorneys is that non-U.S. citizens can't seek compensation for injuries in the U.S. That is completely false. You have rights, no matter your immigration status. The truth is, whether you’re a green card holder, on a visa, or undocumented, you have the same right to pursue a personal injury claim as any U.S. citizen. Your immigration status does not affect your right to hold someone accountable for your injuries. The law protects you regardless of your status. If you've been hurt, don’t hesitate to reach out for help. You deserve justice and compensation, just like anyone else. 💪🏽 Disclaimer: Your case and/or outcome may vary.
