“Prosecutorial Discretion”. In my world, these can be two of the most important words to a client with few if any immigration options in the United States. Let me explain. Prosecutorial Discretion (or “PD” for short) is the authority of, in this case, a federal agency...
Does anyone even remember that movie? I never thought it was particularly good back in 1988 when it was released. It was on recently and I watched a few scenes. I don’t think I really appreciated how talented Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall were, playing all the “other”...
I’ve written about some of this before. As some of you will recall, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) uses a “lottery” system to determine which employers’ petitions (who wish to hire foreign workers in “specialty occupations”) it will accept, and...
As I mentioned last month, my hopes for where we would be now in terms of “comprehensive” immigration reform (or even just some basic and fundamental “change” for the better), as we come to the end of the first 100 days of the Biden Administration, has not been met. I...

In terms of the President’s income taxes, Twitter (and other more mainstream media)[1] has been of course alight with all sorts of buzz as to how much you pay in income taxes relative to the President, how much I pay, and so on. But the one Tweet that did catch my...
I started writing this blog in 2013. I’ve actually enjoyed writing (just about) every piece. It gives me time to step away from my daily practice, put “pen to paper”, and educate some of you on the complexities of my world (i.e., my law practice). Since 2016, this...
My kids are of the age where I am still watching movies like Minions. Truth be told, I like them. Indeed, on some level, particularly with respect to their soundtracks, I think they’re made with adults in mind. According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of a...
