Immigration Newsletter – October 2011
I am still taken back and trying to come to grasp with the recent Fifth Circuit’s decision, Khalid v. Holder, Cause No. 10-60373 (Decided on September 8, 2011). It is ironic that the most conservative appellate court in the U.S. has ruled in favor of the applicant, while the 9th Circuit and 2nd Circuit Courts of Appeal have ruled the opposite. Normally, favorable immigration decisions are expected to be within the 9th and 2nd Circuit Courts of Appeal. For the past few weeks, I have reviewed most, and if not, all of the clients’ files that may benefit from this decision. For our clients that are eligible, I have called or personally consulted with you about the positive outcome of this decision and have advised on the necessary steps that we need to undertake. If for some reason that you feel that you are within the benefit of Khalid and that I have not contacted you, please do not hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I am here to assist you in any possible way. Here are a few thoughts that I want to share with you after going through the process of reviewing all the files for Khalid.
