Representing a client pro bono in a defensive asylum case scheduled for a merits hearing this week. Government has agreed to dismiss and we have fully signed and filed a joint motion to dismiss. Any chance the IJ denies our joint motion? I'm prepared for the hearing but curious if IJs still get credit for resolving the case in this scenario. Thanks!

Yes, just because the Govt agrees to the outcome doesn’t mean the IJ has to. I have seen joint motion to grant asylum be denied because IJ still wanted proof on two question.

Hi how did you get the opposing counsel to agree to a joint motion to grant asylum? Did they reach out to offer or did you contact. I’m working on my 1st defensive asylum case.

I worked as a judicial clerk/staff attorney at the immigration court and occasionally handles decisions involving employment-based immigration, non immigrant visas, and waivers.

My issue is, I have so much firm's work that I have hard time to work on my cases/clients. It feels like my cases are supposed to be done after hours (like after 6 pm). My work hours are crazy. I feel this is unfair and since my firm's taking 70% of my sales. Should I ask for a raise?
