Thanks a lot GCman. We called a lawyer that's been recommended to us by several people and will get an appointment with her and HOPE for the BEST. Our problem at the beginning was that we rellied so much on our other lawyer, didn't do much research, we were pretty confident on our case, so when...

Assylum, I don't want to scare you, but we had to go pick up our decision, we didn't get it, but we got referred to see a judge. The guy that gave us the decision said we were lucky because if we were completely denied, they would have sent us a letter instead of having us pick it up. I'm...

Wow, thank you soooo much, that's awesome....and scarry!! Judge [] is recorded as deciding 214 asylum. Of these, he granted 20, gave no conditional grants, and denied 194. Wow, that's scary. Most of his cases were asylum seekers from South America, we apply for Africa. Maybe that's good...

My husband (who's been out of status since 2007 as well) and I just had our interview with the immigration and we got sent to a judge. He's from Zimbabwe and does not have much past persecution, but we had a pretty strong case with "future" persecution, but that was not enough. The guy did not...

Thanks for your encouragements, "thankful". When we got our result my husband and i were kinda crushed, we really thought we're going to get it, and our lawyer did not tell us that if you are out of status your chances are pretty low and truth is, we didn't make much research on the subject. Now...

Hello all, I've been reading the forum and it's awesome, so I thought I'd write about my case too, get some advice maybe... My husband is from ZImbabwe, came here in 2002 on F1, in 2007 the visa expired, and by the time he realized, it was too late to do anything about it, so he's out of...
