    Update on my case I have received my approval notice in the mail. Also received status update email that the Card has been mailed. Now the hard work starts for me. AUSA will file a status report with the circuit on April 25. The circuit will probably remove the abeyance and put the case in...

    Some judges in ED Michigan are not even aware of the presedents of their own sixth circuit. The 6th Circuit does not preclude the possibility of the nunc pro tunc releif for I-485. I am buliding up my arguments for fighting mootness in my case and I am going to argue the availability of nunc pro...

    Lazy and Wom_ri I do not think it is possible to change amend the complaint at this time. Furthermore, you cannot raise new issues in appeal if it has not already been raised in the district court. Therefore, I cannot explicitly raise the issue of backdating green card. However, I can probably...

    Gov. Br. at 29 = Government Brief in my case at page 29. You should find relevant page in Government's MTD in you case and quote that.

    This is the argument I used in my reply brief. Line Cutting Finally, the government asserts that ordering the processing of the appellant’s application “would unfairly favors applicants with the means to file complaints in federal court.” Gov. Br. at 29. In other words, the...

    Mootness exception Lazy and others, I have submitted my reply brief and the AILF is in contact to see if AUSA agrees with their filing amicus out of time. No response from AUSA yet. I think it is a good idea to start working on mootness exception and do some research. Do you think that the...

    You should certainly file you opposition to MTD. The good thing is that you have not got the worst AUSA in E.D Mich. But Mona Majzoub is not a judge, she is a majistrate judge. Who is your judge and has he reffered the case to the majistrate?

    imcis, Usually the local rule requires you to file motion to reconsider within 10days after the opinion is issued. If i remember correctly, they do not count the weekends. Knowing that the judge issued his opinion on 11/30 you have already missed that deadline. However, since your judge was far...
