When counsel represents more than one client on any particular day, the hours spent shall be allocated accordingly, including any travel time. Representation of more than one client on the same day and in the same court shall be noted on the bills submitted. All bills shall be reviewed by the judge who presided over the case, if practicable.
Your date of jury service sometimes can be changed if there is a pressing reason, for example, a previously scheduled medical procedure or travel plans. In some circumstances, you can make this change online.
Call in or check in. Your local jury office tries to summons only as many people as will be needed for jury selection on a particular day. Sometimes fewer people are needed than was originally thought, as cases settle, trials are postponed, etc. Your Juror Summons will tell you whether, and how, to call in - or check online - prior to reporting for jury service to make sure you are needed for jury service.
In addition, some cases end up not needing any jury at all. Cases often settle at the last minute, sometimes even after a jury is selected. Your presence as a prospective juror may have been what was needed to encourage the parties to come to a resolution themselves.
A: No, in some cases, a child may not have physical injuries at the time the care provider makes an assessment. Children may be in various stages of the healing process or thoroughly healed from the physical abuse by the time they arrive in ORR care.
The Assistant Secretary or their neutral and detached designee will notify the requester of a decision within 30 calendar days of receiving the request unless an extension was warranted to accommodate the schedule of either the potential sponsor or the Assistant Secretary or their neutral and detached designee. If more information is needed to make a decision, or for good cause, the Assistant Secretary or their neutral and detached designee may stay the request until they have the information needed. In these cases, the Assistant Secretary or their neutral and detached designee will send a written explanation to the potential sponsor, communicating a reasonable process and timeframe for addressing the situation and making a determination.
ORR reviews the cases of all pending sponsor applications for unaccompanied children (UC) in ORR custody for 90 days. The purpose of this review is to identify and resolve the reasons that a family reunification application remains pending in a timely manner. Upon completion of the review, Case Managers will update the sponsor and UC on the status of the case, highlighting the reasons that the family reunification process is incomplete. In addition, the Case Manager will work with the sponsor, relevant stakeholders, and the ORR/FFS on a plan to address the portions of the application that remain incomplete in accordance with Section 2.2.3 The Family Reunification Application.
Under extenuating circumstances (e.g., a sponsor cannot travel due to a medical condition), ORR may approve an unaccompanied child to be escorted to a sponsor. Similarly, if a sponsor pick-up would result in delay of a timely release of the child, ORR may approve an escort for an unaccompanied child.
(g) No visa or other documentation shall be issued to an alien if (1) it appears to the consular officer, from statements in the application, or in the papers submitted therewith, that such alien is ineligible to receive a visa or such other documentation under section 212, or any other provision of law, (2) the application fails to comply with the provisions of this Act, or the regulations issued thereunder, or (3) the consular officer knows or has reason to believe that such alien is ineligible to receive a visa or such other documentation under section 212, or any other provision of law: Provided, That a visa or other documentation may be issued to an alien who is within the purview of section 212(a)(4), if such alien is otherwise entitled to receive a visa or other documentation, upon receipt of notice by the consular officer from the Attorney General of the giving of a bond or undertaking providing indemnity as in the case of aliens admitted under section 213: Provided further, That a visa may be issued to an alien defined in section 101(a)(15)(B) or (F), if such alien is otherwise entitled to receive a visa, upon receipt of a notice by the consular officer from the Attorney General of the giving of a bond with sufficient surety in such sum and containing such conditions as the consular officer shall prescribe, to insure that at the expiration of the time for which such alien has been admitted by the Attorney General, as provided in section 214(a), or upon failure to maintain the status under which he was admitted, or to maintain any status subsequently acquired under section 248 of the Act, such alien will depart from the United States.
(I) there are not sufficient workers who are able, willing, qualified (or equally qualified in the case of an alien described in clause (ii)) and available at the time of application for a visa and admission to the United States and at the place where the alien is to perform such skilled or unskilled labor, and
(11) The Attorney General may, in his discretion for humanitarian purposes, to assure family unity, or when it is otherwise in the public interest, waive application of clause (i) of subsection (a)(6)(E) in the case of any alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence who temporarily proceeded abroad voluntarily and not under an order of removal, and who is otherwise admissible to the United States as a returning resident under section 211(b) and in the case of an alien seeking admission or adjustment of status as an immediate relative or immigrant under section 203(a) (other than paragraph (4) thereof), if the alien has encouraged, induced, assisted, abetted, or aided only an individual who at the time of the offense was the alien's spouse, parent, son, or daughter (and no other individual) to enter the United States in violation of law.
No waiver shall be provided under this subsection in the case of an alien who has been convicted of (or who has admitted committing acts that constitute) murder or criminal acts involving torture, or an attempt or conspiracy to commit murder or a criminal act involving torture. No waiver shall be granted under this subsection in the case of an alien who has previously been admitted to the United States as an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence if either since the date of such admission the alien has been convicted of an aggravated felony or the alien has not lawfully resided continuously in the United States for a period of not less than 7 years immediately preceding the date of initiation of proceedings to remove the alien from the United States. No court shall have jurisdiction to review a decision of the Attorney General to grant or deny a waiver under this subsection.
In the meantime, applicants may borrow their passport if they need to travel. You may inform the Consular Section and we will provide you with your passport. Return your passport to the Consular Section when you return from your travels, in order to receive your visa.
In most cases, after a trial court or an agency makes a final decision, you can ask the Supreme Court to review that decision (see Vermont Rule of Appellate Procedure 3(a) at Lexis Nexis). This is called an "appeal." You must file the notice of appeal with the trial court or agency. You usually have 30 days after the decision is made to file this notice (see V.R.A.P. 4(a)(1) at Lexis Nexis). You should pay close attention to the timelines that apply in your case. If you file your notice of appeal too late, you will not be able to pursue your appeal.
If you are the appellee, you are not required to file a printed case. You may file a supplemental printed case if necessary to direct the court's attention to parts of the record not included in the appellant's printed case. If you file a supplemental printed case, it is due at the same time as your appellee's brief.
A motion is a request you make to the court asking it to take some kind of action other than actually deciding the issues in your case. For example, if you need more time to file a brief you can file a motion with the court requesting extra time. You can file a motion after a notice of appeal has been filed. In many cases no party ever files a motion. They just follow the ordinary appeals process without any special requests.
In your motion you must include the case title, the case number, and your name and contact information (see V.R.A.P. 32(c) at Lexis Nexis). You should state in detail what you would like the court to do and the result you need (see V.R.A.P. 27(a) at Lexis Nexis). For example, if you want more time to file your brief, file a motion stating the reason you need more time and how much extra time you want. You must sign and date your motion.
These timelines apply to most appeals. It is your responsibility to read the rules and follow the correct procedures that apply to your case. All time periods are calendar days unless specifically designated as business days. See all rules at Lexis Nexis.

Deadline: Within 14 days after notice of appeal is filed, except that in bail appeals and juvenile abuse and neglect cases, appellant orders transcripts at the same time notice of appeal is filed
