Immigration News

On August 20th ICE had issued  a new policy  which  calls for an expedited adjudication for cases involving a detained alien whose application is currently pending before USCIS.  USCIS shall adjudicate such cases within 30 days of receiving the file. In cases where an alien is in removal proceedings but is not detained, such cases shall be adjudicated within 45 days by USCIS. Further, the memo calls for dismissal of certain cases in removal proceedings where an alien appears eligible for relief from removal. 

This is great news for immigration attorneys as well as their clients, as it will free up the court system, and cases that are in some circumstances being scheduled as far as 2 years from now, will be able to get adjudicated much faster. 

Introduction

Hello to all.
I just recently joined the wonderful world of blogging. I am very new to this, so please bare with me while I get the hang of this whole thing.
First off, I would like to briefly introduce myself to all who may be reading my posts. I am an attorney, practicing in the Greater New York and New Jersey area. My firm mainly concentrates on business law, immigration  law and health care law. I welcome any and all question, however, must disclaim, that by no means am I establishing an attorney-client relationship via this blog or any other web source.
I intend to share the news with my readers as it relates to my areas of practice, together with FAQ that I get from clients and/or potential clients.  If there is something that you wish me to discuss, please feel free to throw an idea out there.
