    Withholding of Removal & DV 2012

    As Tarukh stated, due to the invalidation of the original DV-2012, I could not proceed with my case. But for the small time I was going to consultations and getting as much information as I could find, it eventually became a merry-go-round with no clear path in sight. Apparently many...

Though the VA General Assembly has decided to pursue a report on the issue: lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?ses=111&typ=bil&val=hj678&Submit2=Go I, on the other hand, do not...
