Mr. Lee Quoted in World Journal After Visa Number Scandal Resolution
Mr. Lee was quoted in the daily newspaper, World Journal, on 7/18/2007 in connection with the USCIS action to allow 30 days for EB classes 1 – 3 to file I-485 adjustment of status application until August 17, 2007 that: This move might be the best step the Department of Homeland Security
could offer to recover its scandal. As to the aftermath to future
applicants who worry that the increased I-140 and I-485 applications
will overflow the quota and put adjudications on hold at a later
date, Mr. Alan Lee stated that we could begin lobbying Congress
for an increase of the employment based visa quota. Mr. Lee said
that aliens who qualify for skilled employment base are “the
ones all countries wish for but America pushes these talented individuals
out of the door.”

His article, "The Bush Temporary Worker Proposal and Comparative Pending Legislation: an Analysis" was Interpreter Releases' cover display article at the American Immigration Lawyers Association annual conference in 2004, and his victory in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in a case of first impression nationwide, Firstland International v. INS, successfully challenged INS' policy of over 40 years of revoking approved immigrant visa petitions under a nebulous standard of proof. Its value as precedent, however, was short-lived as it was specifically targeted by the Administration in the Intelligence Reform Act of 2004. ‡ This article © 2007 Alan Lee, Esq.
