The Immigration Hour

As one of the lawyers who won the Gomez v. Trump case, I wanted to make sure that everyone is up-to-date on the lastest news and processing information. This episode was broadcast on my Facebook Live page to address the Department of State's instructions on DV2020 applicants, how the lawsuit allows ALL selectees to process (not just Plaintiffs), and what steps each selectee should be taking RIGHT...

A major immigration bomb hit today with the immediate three year backlog on EB-3 and EB-OW categories for the entire world. This has serious implications not only for those with pending labor certifications, but also those with status that is expiring.

There has been some negotiation between Senator Durbin and Senator Lee and (as of the time of the podcast) the revisions are not public, the terms generally are. There is something for everyone to dislike here. This is what you get when you don't have public hearings. This is sausage getting made.
