    Well, the attorney closed down his firm and moved to another state with her retainer(which would be paid back if the appeal fails) without notice before a decision from BIA was issued. We found his # on the internet. He is now arguing that: 1. the retainer was paid to the firm(which was...

    Ok, she filed a complaint with the Attorney Disciplinary Committee against the attorney who handled that case regarding breach of contract(refusal to refund the retainer) and other ethical and disciplinary issues. The attorney responded saying how she is an illegal immigrant now playing with the...

    Consequences of a 245(i) beneficiary's I-140 being denied

    I found the following from this USCIS page regarding removal proceeding upon denial of application: http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/hdi245i.htm I have never before heard of anyone being deported because of a denied I-140 under 245i, nor has she received any letter telling her to pack...

    Consequences of a 245(i) beneficiary's I-140 being denied

    Hey thanks for the awesome response. So whether if you get another shot at a new I140 will depend on luck? Hmm..if the rule of "one bite at the apple" is set in stone, will the beneficiary's spouse and child be able to submit employment-based applications under 245i on their own behalf? To...

    Consequences of a 245(i) beneficiary's I-140 being denied

    Hi. My cousin was approved for the labor certificate under 245(i) and then submitted the I-140 and I-485 application for employment-based immigration. It was last year that her I-140 was denied by INS due to employer's failure to show the ability to pay the future wage. She subsequently appealed...

    Why do food service companies hire illegal immigrants for counter work?

    Your posts made you sound like an angry H1 applicant or the family member of that applicant who was affected by the retrogression and not being able to qualify for the Guest worker program if it is to be passed... What made you think that a non-English speaker is naturally an illegal immigrant...

    Is it safe for an illegal alien to fly on a plane within the USA?

    Wha if the driver's license, while unexpired, has a bold red line printed on it saying "TEMPORARY VISITOR STATUS EXP. XX-XX-XX", can you still get on the plane with it? And will you be fine if being checked by a cop? BTW, how would a cop know about your immigration status if you presented him...

    How worried should I be? (15 years OOS, 245i pending, expired dl)

    I know LC under 245i filed in 2001 took very long to get approved. My mom's was approved after 2 years in 2003. But magra is saying hers is still not approved. We are in 2006.

    How worried should I be? (15 years OOS, 245i pending, expired dl)

    Driving with expired dl may be considered a crime, which could lead to deportation regardless. However, they would not use the reason of your expired status to deport you since you are protected under 245i. But I am confused about one thing. If you applied for LC back in 2001, how come it's...

    The US should no dare to precent accepting immigrants

    Joe, please keep in mind that this topic was intended for discussion about the govt and its policies. Any name-calling should be directed to the govt and not the other posters. Back to your post, of course skin color of the candidates come into play as a factor. Whether you agree with it or...

    The US should no dare to precent accepting immigrants

    My original argument is not about how much immigration from a certain nation the US should accept. My point is, by classifying ppl based on the origin of their birth instead of their citizenship, you are pretty much classifying them by ethnic background. Sure, there can be a tiny percentage of...

    The US should no dare to precent accepting immigrants

    Since when did I say the nation in which I settle in must be the perfect paradise in every aspect? And why wouldn't I have the guts to voice my opinion about the subtle racism that exists in the immigration law? You think something would happen to me if I did that in front of white house? I...

    Do you see more China-born white people coming to US and apply for immigration, or more Chinese people holding some other country's citizenship and try to immigrate to the US?

    Traffic Tickets do not count!

    Pretty sure the agent was a law enforcement officer. I am not sure if the ticket was a citation. But it states the following above the officer's signature: "Commission of the violation charged above was observed by me or by the witness/complainant named on the reverse side. At or near the...

    Traffic Tickets do not count!

    What about instances where you have tried entering the subway without swiping your metrocard at the booth and was subsequently stopped by the MTA agent who wrote you a $50 ticket? Is that considered to be on the same offense level as traffic tickets?
