hey, @grok, please create a movie poster for a new movie called “H-1B Mania” in the style of a 1960s beach movie.
When will people try to understand the H-1B program before jumping to conclusions? H-1B mania is back on X.
Got an opinion from the 11th Circuit with the following claims: "But as with people, statutes' awkward moments are often the most revealing;" and "Appellant tries to do the statutory Hokey Pokey." I was unaware of the Awkward Canon of Statutory Interpretation, and I haven't…
Thankfully, the AUSA responded very quickly when we reached out on this lawsuit given the emergency of the Notice of Intent to Rescind. Yet again USCIS "forgot" key language in the NOIR that we have only seen them add after filing suit about REOPENING after recission...
Filed a 2nd suit challenging the APPROVAL of a green card because @USCIS approved in error, and now USCIS will rescind it, leaving the client with no status by no fault of theirs. You can't make this up. #Litigation #AOS If you got a green card when your visa wasn't current, I…
This “report” is horseshit—that’s a technical, legal term. #LiesLiesLies It’s propaganda masquerading as research.
The SIJ or Special Immigrant Juvenile program is a well-intentioned program that has been abused for years. In our latest report, USCIS identified 853 known or suspected gang members who filed SIJ petitions, and most were approved. USCIS is taking action to mitigate program…
It is NOT good luck if USCIS grants your green card application in error. It can lead to major immigration issues down the line including losing your permanent residence status. If you are in this boat, you should contact a qualified attorney immediately to develop a strategy.

This is great advice. You should never be afraid of competition.
In 2020, USCIS wanted to end the U visa waiting list and ICE pushed back. There is no reason to think there will be resistance this time: #Uvisa
Two-thirds of the Dept. of Justice unit defending Trump policies in court have quit 69 of the ~110 lawyers in DOJ's Federal Programs Branch defending challenges to Trump's policies have voluntarily left or announced plans to leave since his election reuters.com/legal/litigati…
The weakest men have the most fragile egos, and academia is full of them. I have never met a rational man who mistake footnotes for fortresses.
Can we normalize the term “illegal drivers” for anyone who speeds, drives after a couple of drinks, or owes $$ for parking tickets? You have a driver’s license; you violate the terms of the license; the violation is not a crime. #WordsWordsWords
This is an amazing advance in technology if you can look at someone and know their criminal and immigration histories. Also, Homan claimed ICE could approach and stop someone based on their looks alone. #Lies #BeBetter #Bivens
ICE targets aliens BECAUSE OF THEIR CRIMINAL AND IMMIGRATION HISTORIES — not their skin color. 👉Our targeted immigration enforcement operations involve significant PLANNING — not PROFILING. If you’re here legally and aren’t committing crimes, you have NOTHING to fear!
Under 8 USC 1481, a USC, born or naturalized, can “lose” their US citizenship IF they commit one of the acts in the statute with the specific intent to lose your US citizenship. #SCOTUS limited the reached this statute significantly in Afroyim v. Rusk. Most recent litigation…
Odd. Professor Leary never mentioned the “physical appearance” exception in our Fourth Amendment class.
Homan: "People need to understand ICE officers and Border Patrol don't need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them ... based on their physical appearance."
Shocker.
USCIS waiting times are the worst I have ever seen now. Over 1 year for any type of form to get through.
Email us if this impacts you. Ugh. [email protected]

But you have no authority to detain, arrest, or “catch” anyone. Good use of the passive voice to obscure the fact that YOU did not arrest anyone. #USDMV
Busted & booted - These criminals thought they could outrun the law—until they were finally caught with assistance from USCIS.
Prof. Amar is, unquestionably, the top constitutional scholar of our era. Take 20 minutes and listen to his take on the #birthRIGHT citizenship issue. Unlike petition attorneys using this issue to market through fear, he drops TRUTH bit.ly/44HrEYW Thank you,…
Birthright Citizenship EO blocked by a federal judge @BaniasLaw was right - a 'class' is created automatically even if you do not explicitly file a case People expecting a baby in states which have not filed the lawsuit, will also be covered by this Federal judge order
Just watched an #EB5 denial go to approval from litigation. The #I290B got denied. But filing suit and working with the government got it reopened and approved because the government knew we were able and willing to go the distance. #Experience #RealImpact
