It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving has come and gone. I hope that your holiday was spent with loved ones and eating delicious food!

Happy Halloween! October’s been a good month – though it started out on a scary note. On October 1, we were busy preparing all of our adjustment of status cases to be filed before the new public charge rule was going to go into effect on October 15th. If the new rules had been allowed
