Guangzhou Complaint Memorandum Published Today on ILW.com

ILW.com today published my complaint memorandum about the Guangzhou U.S. Consulate as the featured article on its daily report of recent developments in immigration law. Every serious immigration attorney in the U.S. will likely read it (or at least be aware of it). This can only add to the pressure on the Guangzhou Consulate to reform its review standards.

Lately, the USCIS is issuing large numbers of Notices of Intent to Revoke (NOIR) for cases previously sent back to the USCIS with a request for revocation. The NOIRs spell out the reasons for the initial consular refusal to issue, and provide the petitioner and his/her attorney a chance to respond. This was the main goal of my memo, and is heartening news that things are trending in the right direction. Let's keep up the fight, though. We're not done here.
