Thank you to those who attended the hearing today. The hearing allowed for an airing and narrowing of the issues. We anticipate a decision before Friday. We will keep you posted.

I am happy to report that Michael Piston, an excellent immigration lawyer with 25 years of experience, has joined our team as co-counsel. Michael has been providing me with invaluable legal support throughout this effort, and I am very grateful that he will be able to join me at the hearing on Tuesday. Michael and I are focusing our efforts on preparing for the hearing, so there is no need to call with best wishes. We feel your support over the miles. Thank you.
