After I celebrated summer solstice this week in New York City's canyons, I departed to Las Vegas for the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) summer conference. In between informational seminars and chatting with US Citizenship & Immigration Citizenship (USCIS) officers about how they're adjudicating cases these days, I managed to sneak out to the Grand Canyon. Sadly I didn't get a good sunset photo as I had to head back to the conference. But on the plus side so far I've managed not to gamble away the firm!
