Dear Colleagues and Friends:
Happy Holidays!
2019 has proven to be one of the most difficult years in my four
decades of immigration law practice. It seemed like there was a new
announcement coming every week from the current administration or
Attorney General. It has become tougher for those fleeing
persecution to apply for and gain asylum;there have been attempts to
prevent low-income immigrants from becoming permanent residents; the
fight for DACA protection for "Dreamers" has arrived at the Supreme
Court. That said, I accept the challenge, and I am more determined
than ever to work with the best talents we can find to help our
clients.
Across the globe, my birthplace Hong Kong is facing one of the worst
crises since I was born. I traveled to the city last month to see
what was happening for myself. I visited my grade school St. Paul's
Convent School and the places I have lived before coming to America.
Despite recent events, Hong Kong still lives up to its name as the
"Pearl of the Orient".
Fortunately, 2019 has also been a time of joy for
me. At the age of 69, I became a grandmother. My son Steven and his
wife Joanna gave birth this week to their daughter, Cameron. They
named her after my late husband, Kam. I am so proud of them. All
three are doing very well. Cameron is such a beautiful baby, with
big eyes and cheeks, and a full head of silky, black hair.
Our law firm continues to thrive and grow. I have
invited several of our attorneys to become partners in the firm. Our
combined experience, not just in years, but also knowledge and
interpretation of the law, current events analytics, and consumer
orientation, gives usan edge over other firms in the immigration
arena. Instead of slowing down, I still travel at least three days
per week to our different offices, including Nashville, New York,
Cleveland, Atlanta, Chicago, and Columbus.
Somehow, I find the time to swim, to read, and to
play with my dog Theo. I am reading a few books about Hong Kong:
"The Battle for Hong Kong 1941 - 1945" and "The Piano Teacher." Both
provide fascinating views into the history of the city.
My siblings are all healthy and doing well. We
continue our Wednesday evening family dinner tradition. Rose's
daughter is pregnant and is expecting in December. We are so excited
to welcome another family member!
While reading about history and welcoming the new
generation of our family into the world, I remember marriage, births
and passings, wins and losses, and all the trials and tribulations
along the journey of my life. I miss my husband Kam and my parents
at times like this. I wish they were still here so I can talk to
them about these changes in the world.
I am so blessed and grateful that I have the help
and support from good friends and colleagues, through my years of
striving to become who I am, from a young, sheltered Catholic
student coming to America in 1969 to the lawyer I am today.
Happy holidays to all my friends and family.
Margaret W. Wong, Esq.
