Success update: a U visa case pending nearly 2 years, for a client in removal, has been granted. Originally we received a lengthy, harsh opposition from DHS, but now the tide has turned and our client will not be deported. We cant win every case, and were on pins and needles waiting for results in this complicated one. So glad it came through successfully. Whew! Looking back, at one point we thought there was no hope. But now I am so glad we never gave up! As an attorney, its really hard to have to tell a client to keep waiting, to stay strong, and at the same time, to keep saying I dont know if we will win. But our client accepted the risk and fought for his rights, and we are so proud of him and his family. And, very grateful to USCIS-Vermont Service Center, for recognizing that not every case fits into a perfect box, but there are discretionary factors that can allow approval. Bravo USCIS - you did the right thing!
