Today my entire firm received the most thoughtful gifts from a Virginia family reunited after a 12 year wait in immigration limbo. My client specifically chose this piece because, as she said, "You bring families together" and insisted that we keep it for our office 
We had to sue the Department of State to spur action on this case, stuck in "administrative processing" since 2006. My client, a brand-new Virginia resident, told me he had all but given up hope - what was the point in coming to America for the first time when you're past 50?
Only one thing kept the fire going: family. The rest of his family was here. Not being able to be in touch, the barrier of air travel, lack of visas - this puts stress on the rest of the family unit. Now, he can be with them.
So often, this battle is just about getting up one more time than you're knocked down. And #fightingforfamilies never gets old.
