I just settled a Federal Court case involving a missing duplicate alien labor certification, forcing one government agency to send a document to another, without which a Chinese Specialty Cook could not proceed to obtain his immigrant visa. These two agencies could not communicate with one another in the normal course of business and it took time, money and effort to make them do things they were supposed to do without asking. The client is happy and I too should be happy, but I am not. Why? Because it occurred to me that my law practice is increasingly becoming less about solving actual legal problems and more about solving logistical problems such as this. And the thought that logistical problems in U.S. immigration law are increasingly becoming elevated to the level of legal problems is depressing indeed. It’s as if getting to work is becoming more important than work itself.
