@coachella what on earth is happening with this camp entry? In the 10 years we’ve been doing this I have never experienced such a terrible line. I am all about security, but what are we doing here?
Had the opportunity to speak with @BLaw about long pending employment based immigrant visa cases for Iranians, issues with the DS-5535, and the continuing pseudo ban on Iranian nationals. #immigration#mandamus#eb2#ai

Just won appeal at the AAO for a denied AOS medical waiver. AOS was denied because of this, and USCIS denied AOS MTR even though we asked for a decision to be held in abeyance until appeal was complete. 🙄

@USCIS you’ve rendered my client out of status because of this egregious error that we now need to fix with Ombudsman & congressional help.
Unbelievable.
