    Stop going to school [F-1] after applying for green card?

    With the current policy, if your AOS application was denied, you would be referred to an immigration judge (the beginning of your removal proceeding process) UNLESS you have another status to fall back too. So, technically, you don't have to go to school anymore, and your F-1 status would be...

    I-130 Form Questions

    What was your form of payment? If you used G-1450 and paid with a debit/credit card, you should check your account whether or when the charge went through. If you used a personal check, you are able to do so too. However, if you sent a cashier's check, you wouldn't know when the check was...

    I-130 Form Questions

    The form is using JavaScript, and you will need to use Adobe Acrobat Reader for to work properly. Once JavaScript is broken (by using other pdf programs to open and fill out the form), you cannot get it to work as intended. The End Date boxes are supposed to be auto-filled with “PRESENT.” So...

    New Policy for Expiration Date on Driver's License

    You misread it. I didn't say anything about a valid visa and I-94 to fly. And yes, I didn't renew my passport because of my asylum case.

    New Policy for Expiration Date on Driver's License

    https://realid.ilsos.gov/publications/pdf_publications/ex83.pdf I do not have a valid passport with a valid visa and I-94. If you read the list in group A carefully, it’s vetting USC/LPR from non-immigrants.

    New Policy for Expiration Date on Driver's License

    I just want to share with you what I just got myself into, so that you will not make the same mistake. I got my DL with the expiration date in 2023, but I wanted to get a Real ID so that I could take domestic flights with the Real ID DL. Had I known that the new policy was implemented...

    Notice to Appear and EAD Clock

    I suggest that you make sure with your lawyer to get the individual hearing scheduled during your MCH. Don’t settle for another MCH. You will have a few years which is more than enough for you and your lawyer to sort things out while waiting for the individual hearing. I wasted about 10 months...

    Asylum case referred to immigration judge

    I communicated with the judge in English. But if you speak Spanish, there is one available in the courtroom without having to request in advance.

    Your second MCH is gonna be brief, mostly the lawyer will speak for you to the judge. You will end up having an individual hearing 3-4 years from now depending on your court and also your judge. Well, please come back and let us know about your individual hearing date. Good luck.

    Asylum case referred to immigration judge

    Perhaps, the lawyer who went in with him was not his original lawyer, and he was asking the judge for a continuance. Normally, the judge would schedule an individual hearing with a lawyer presence. Even without a lawyer during the second Master Hearing, the judge would also schedule an...

    Asylum case referred to immigration judge

    If you can speak and understand English, you will communicate in English with the judge. If you speak Spanish, there is an interpreter in the court. Actually, they know in advance which language you speak. But in general, you may need to let the court know in advance if you need an intepreter.

    Asylum case referred to immigration judge

    NTA is the document you received when you went to get the decision. However, most NTA does not have the exact date you have to appear in court, so at the bottom of Page 1 of the NTA, you should see "To be Calendared." You will then get another letter called "Notice of Hearing for Removal...

    Asylum case referred to immigration judge

    Well, you have to be there pretty much the entire morning, but the actual time that the judge addresses your is less than 5 minutes if you don't have an attorney present and that is your first master hearing. If you come with an attorney, the attorney will be the one the judge will address to...

    Asylum case referred to immigration judge

    The Master Hearing is very easy. If you came in without an attorney, it’s quite likely the judge would extend your master hearing so that you could find an attorney. You would not get your individual hearing scheduled without an attorney. I will go to my second hearing in September, still...

    DV 2020 All Selectees

    i am not asking the OP or his lawyers to change the law and yes lots of people challenge the law because law is not just black and white but also up to interpretation, too. i didn’t want to mention that i have seen a few cases that their lawyers found workarounds even though they were not...

    DV 2020 All Selectees

    to answer your questions about eligibility, i would ask you back whether you know they are workarounds in the world of lawyers, too? susie, there is no point to argue about this. i did agree with mom that on paper, he was not eligible, otherwise i wouldn’t have mentioned “workarounds, if any”...

    it’s easy to dismiss the case with no chance, no hope when it’s not yours. if you were in his situation, would you just sit tight taking words of others doing nothing else? i have no doubt those two are experienced but my point is attorneys may have work around. one must be so naive to interpret...
