Previous “final” hearings ended up not being final: this one is expected to REALLY be the last one. The judge indicated (in November) he was ready to make his decision contingent on outcome of background checks. The government attorney had said (November 7th 2017) that he didn’t have the background check results yet; he expected them “imminently” – just waiting for the phone call. However, when pressed by the judge, said he expected the results for sure by that Friday (11/10/2017). The judge said he wasn’t going to make Chaudhrys, community at large and so many supporters come back a second time in the same week!
The background checks were not completed until about the second week of January!
We look forward to your presence for this final [immigration] hearing !
1000 2nd Ave, Suite 2500, Seattle, WA; hearing at 1 pm.

Read on for the Update on the October 16, 2017 (Pre-)Final Immigration Hearing in Seattle
UPDATE: Yes, October 16th was to be the final hearing, but ended as the “Pre-Final” hearing. Despite Judge Paul deFonzo’s ruling in July to have October 16th the final hearing, ICE attorney saw that he was losing during October 16th hearing; so to save face and cause additional delay, he threw a monkey-wrench – causing yet another hearing set for November 7th, 2017 – 8:30 am (Seattle).
Judge deFonzo had already admonished ICE attorney that he (attorney) had been given lee-way to ask few more questions based on Judge’s questions; but, Judge said to ICE attorney, his questions were going too far astray.
Some have already stated that ICE is very over zealous and must be getting extremely desperate to cause yet another delay. However, the longer this goes on, ICE (and its persecution) makes itself look even more ridiculous.
