ACTIVITY
UpdatedPrior interview procedures must be restored.
I like Fast. This sounds like the invitation is chasing the appointment.
Preparation involves children and their legal representatives.
When I have an interview everybody knows for days, they move lights around, somebody tests a microphone forty times. Here a child is supposed to find the lawyer and get ready before the envelope has settled. Very bad calendar-ing.
I want the notice to arrive FIRST.
That is the proposed sequence.
Keep that sequence. Don't hire a consultant to reverse it again!
PUBLIC RECORD
On October 30, Judge Brendan Hurson temporarily blocked USCIS policies shortening notice and restricting rescheduling for unaccompanied children's asylum interviews. Prior procedures must be restored through November 13 while further relief is considered. The previous notice period was 21 days; some new notices allowed under 24 hours. DHS did not respond to Reuters. This is temporary relief, not a final disposition.
