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.
