East Coast judges are usually more favorable in immigration case like this. This is in Maryland. VA is good as well. But NY is getting tough.
Family members said visiting court room was more peaceful than visiting a doctor's office. What they saw on TV was not what they actually experienced.
The lawyer said they had all the papers that were needed, which was very impressive in such a stressful moment.
It seems if you didn't jump the fence to get here, and no criminal record. You are good to go.
Good luck!!!
