Congrats to Mr. K from So. Korea, when he came to me he was in deportation proceedings. This month, he will be sworn in as a U.S. Citizen!
He will be a good one. Mr. K is a hard-working, family-man providing for his U.S. Citizen spouse, citizen mother, and special needs, adult citizen son.

Wow! Just wow.

Immigration Court Backlog Tops 3 Million; Each Judge Assigned 4,500 Cases A new record was reached in November. The Immigration Court backlog passed 3 million pending cases. Just 12 months ago, during November 2022, the backlog was 2 million. That means the case backlog has grown by a million cases in just the past 12 months.

Congratulations to Omar M. on the approval of your lawful permanent residence status. Because you are married to a United States citizen, you will become eligible to file a Form N-400 Application for Naturalization in 2 years and 9 months.

Congratulations to Aida M. for the approval of your lawful permanent residence status. It has been a pleasure to be a part of your immigration journey.

Congratulations to Josaia M. on his swearing-in as a United States citizen!

Congratulations to Andrei from Moscow who was just granted political asylum by the immigration court in Sacramento. Having endured arrests and beatings at the hands of the police he bravely continued to protest against his government because he believed he could make a positive change. Now he is free to say what the wants. He and his wife will be an asset to our community and to our country. America beats Russia again!
