Dear Judge Schmidt,

I hope this email finds you well, with the holiday season upon us.

I wanted to write and tell you again how much the training last spring stands out in my mind as a highlight for 2023.  I received my full accreditation in June and have represented three different clients in proceedings so far.  The judges in San Antonio have been very open to dismissing cases, and two of the three cases were dismissed as an exercise of prosecutorial discretion!  Our clients have been able to apply for asylum affirmatively and hopefully will be successful, even though we anticipate a very long wait for their interviews.  I have also completed U visa filings, a T visa filing, family petitions and lots and lots of work permits.  Mailing every filing fills me with so much hope.

I hope that I will get a chance to see you again at a future VIISTA event!

Best,

Courtney

Thanks so much Courtney! 

Rather than looking for expensive ways to diminish asylum-seekers’ rights and inflict more cruelty, Congress and the Administration should be investing in cost-effective programs like VIISTA that actually work, protect rights, and have promise for the future!

Building hope rather than intentionally causing despair!😎 Why don’t our public officials “get it?”

😎 Due Process Forever!
