Where she's living has no standard on the suit anyway


Doesn't the plaintiff always have to submit to questioning by the defense? If the INS refuses to let her into the US, how can she be cross-examined? Much less any medical examinations the defense might want if it went to trial...

My reasoning behind a quick settlement is that her lawyer has very little invested so far - a press release and a couple of hours of time. If it's drug out the lawyer will begin to have more hours in it, and if it looks like it might go to try they'll have to spend cash, not just hours, on the case. That lawyer is going to want more money to go away.
