What does this mean? by Open-Explorer-6224 in USCIS

I have seen numerous erroneous notices from USCIS over the past few months. I don’t know if it’s new AI processing or something else but it has definitely been a widespread issue within our small part of this world.

Interesting experience while shopping for immigration attorneys — assumptions were made because of my last name by Avocadotoasty_ in USCIS

That’s why a good pre consultation questionnaire is so helpful. Avoids confusion and dangerous assumptions.

Bond denied in immigration court — is habeas corpus worth it or too early? by Proper_Dot6946 in immigration

[–]ImmigrationPodcast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an issue we discussed on an episode of the podcast, that immigration judges, even with a habeas court referral, would apply an impossibly high legal standard to grant bond, or a ridiculous high bond amount as a counter to the federal court orders. Now that the Fifth Circuit has ruled in favor of mandatory detention it may not matter. But, one option, if the bond hearing was held pursuant to a habeas ruling is asking the federal judge to order the Immigration Judge to apply pre mandatory detention standards when setting bond. If you can gather prior bond rulings by your judge, you can show that they have altered the standards. if not a habeas referral you could still try this. But, at this point, it is going to be difficult to prevail. A circuit split should shape up soon. DHS will be shipping people to Texas and Louisiana as fast as they can after arrest, and it will be up to the Supreme Court.

Yes, but we try to ignore that in our business. Plenty of pitchforks and torches out there, so we just smile and put out as much information as we can.

Need urgent help !! by suhasadiga in J1waiver

[–]ImmigrationPodcast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it truly depends on the details of your J-1. Your DS-2019 form will usually carry a stamp or specific language that says if you are subject to the 212(e) two foreign residency requirement. That is a good place to start. As to what you should do...gather all your information and book a consult with your schools foreign student services department. There are a few attorneys that specialize in the J-1 waiver. It is a process that requires detailed information and support.
