Hi guys...i need opinions of my situation.
I applied for asylum on Sept 06, interviewed on Nov 06. Received a denial letter on Aug 07. And then i reappealed and finally yesterday i was in a room with the Judge, interpreter, my lawyer and DHS lawyer i guess. we all spent 4.5hours in that room. Decision is the judged granted my asylum BUT DHS would like to appeal and the judge gave him 30days till 04/03/08. i just dont understand, the judge himself granted my case, why would the dhs want to appeal? is anyone of you have the same/ similiar situation as mine? will dhs usually appeal? what are the chances of winning (even though i had won) if DHS appeal? my lawyer said that basically i won and just hope in 30 days dhs appeal wont be filed in.
thank you fellow friends and please input me some opinions please.
