Disrupting immigration law thru: ⚙️ H-1B compliance technology 🖍️ Digital marketing for immigration 🎙Immigration tech podcast 👋👋 Let's connect here on LinkedIn!
Last August I went to Dallas for a fun, in-person GLOMO® event hosted by Ben Cross, SCRP. Well, as a Dallas first-timer, I had the opportunity to get a tour of BAL's insanely cool offices by Jeremy Fudge and Frieda Garcia. Not many people have this opportunity, so I wanted to share it! First off, "insanely cool" is not how I would ever expect to describe a law firm office 😄 But in Jeremy's vision, BAL's offices can honestly rival any trendy tech company or startup, if not beat them. 🌍 Every floor reflected a different region, and every section of every floor had color, artwork and unique items on the walls, a variety of comfortable couches and sitting areas, a fish tank, and so much more. 🏖️ There was a beach area with actual sand and two beach chairs. Maybe not for client meetings lol, but I wouldn't mind sitting there for 30 minutes while replying to an email or taking a lunch break. 👺 There was a wall of African masks made my artisans that were all different an beautiful. 🍦 There was a wall of Blue Bell Creameries ice cream container tops (didn't get to try the ice cream but heard it's delicious). 🏔️ There were massive glacier photos as wall paper, and so much more that isn't pictured. 🥗 Oh and a cafeteria, lots of spaces to walk around and be active, and generally balance office life with self care and longevity. . . . I obviously don't work at BAL (though they're a long-time LaborLess partner and supporter, which I'm so grateful for! 🙌), but they've built something really special, both as a tech-savvy, modern immigration firm for their clients and, importantly, a place where lawyers, paralegals, etc., enjoy working. Thanks so much for the tour Jeremy and Frieda, hopefully I'll get to come back one day! 😊 #immigration #immigrationlaw #h1bvisa

I was quoted in this excellent article, https://lnkd.in/ghbATkQG (paywalled) by Law360’s Britain Eakin, along with several of my brilliant colleagues, William Stock, Cyrus Mehta, and Greg Siskind, expressing cautious optimism for the prospects of immigration advocates under Loper Bright, which placed a tombstone on so-called Chevron deference. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ There are lots of unknowns: Is the shift from “deference” to “respect” (under Skidmore) which still allows for consideration of an agency’s expertise and experience little more than new wine in an old bottle? ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ What new interpretive formulations will emerge from the 5th and 9th Circuits to deal with cases previously decided at Step 2 of Chevron (having been found ambiguous), since according to the Chief Justice, those cases are still good law? ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ Does it always and inevitably come down to the thrust of the policy (pro- or anti-immigration) and whether the adjudicator is a Republican or Democratic appointee? We’re already witnessing the onslaught of 28(j) letters in pending cases. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ What role is left for the major questions doctrine, which acted as a sort of exception to Chevron where the issue was one of deep economic and political significance? Loper Bright recognized the legitimacy of broad delegations of discretionary policymaking, so have the litigational skirmishes now moved to fighting over ambiguity there (which will likely prove to be in the eye of the beholder)? And things will get even more interesting with the upcoming election. Stay tuned!
