Check out the lastest coverage of Green Card Stories over at Feet in Two Worlds. Journalist Cristina Pastor gives an overview of the recent panel discussion at Proskauer law firm in New York. She writes:

“The people in the book were former clients of immigration lawyers, including some served by top Manhattan law firm Proskauer.

‘I reached out to them,’ Yale-Loehr said at the forum, looking in the direction of fellow panelists Proskauer partner David Grunblatt and special immigration counsel Avram Morell. ‘I told them, tell me your best stories; I want to know who they are, why they came to the U.S. and why they decided to stay.’

Grunblatt said the book is a collection of immigration stories that are both ‘fascinating and frustrating.’

Morell called for the U.S. government to ‘part the curtains a little bit’ to avoid a long-drawn immigration process that is difficult and time-consuming.”
