Managing Partner Michael Wildes is pleased to announce that Wildes & Weinberg P.C. has secured an interview for an asylum applicant who has waited two years to be scheduled for one.
According to Michael Wildes:
“An asylum applicant who has waited two years for an interview has finally gotten one, after our litigation department presented the Asylum Office and the Department of Justice with a Mandamus complaint. The asylum office’s prioritization list, the “last-in, first-out” and three-tier prioritization scheme, effectively means that many applicants wait years for an interview, and indeed may never get one, even though the Asylum Office is required by law to schedule interviews within 45 days of filing, according to 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a). Many folks feel lost in this system, so we are heartened that we could bring closure to at least one of our clients. Next step is approval!”

Nearly three quarters of a century later, the firm continues to concentrate its practice in all aspects of U.S. immigration and nationality law, servicing the immigration requirements of prominent American and International firms, banks, industrial, financial, and manufacturing concerns, as well as law firms in connection with the personnel needs of their foreign national employees.
