I-600A Update

I guess I should have put my activist hat on a little earlier because USCIS issued a statement on the I-600A issue yesterday. In short, they accepted grandfathering in people who were already in the system with the I-600A form! Many thanks to those of you who contacted your reps and/or signed the petition.

If you want to know more about the ruling, see the following:

Also, re-reading my post from yesterday I didn't like the tone of my ending paragraph. The gist of what I wanted to say is that I know this issue isn't one of the BIG ones, but it is important. (And selfishly, it's very important to me.) Thanks for understanding.

It's a very compelling closing statement and requires no apology. Global justice issues don't need to overshadow deeply personal concerns. Otherwise the inidividual gets lost and guilt, not justice, rules the day. I care about all those other concerns, but I care just as much and certainly more personally about your journey....
