    I think you have to get the record purge confirmation from the Traffic Court in writing. Try to get Traffic Court clerk write on the letter or printout “record purged, date, signature” or ask for a separate letter explaining that the record was purged. I have heard from several people that...

    Hi Bou: If you call the AUSA directly, s/he would probably tell that going around your lawyer is unethical, etc. If you were in 9th Circuit I would suggest considering firing your lawyer and hiring another one. If you trust your lawyer – it is better to follow his/her advice. Getting...

    Do not give up and try not to be upset. You have a lawyer you trust (presumably) and pay for his/her services. As far as I know the lawyers tend to manage and distribute their workload to maximize their financial yield. Your lawyer probably has quite a few cases he is working on in parallel and...

    Congratulations, shvili! Well-deserved victory. So, it looks like the full-blown official letter from the Traffic Court came handy after all... Do not get angry at poor bureaucrats, they just do not want to get bothered by all those pesky immigrants while collecting their decent salaries and...

    The whole point of sending the warnings (notice of legal action) is to later add those as exhibits to the complaint. Any response from the agencies can be hardly expected. The only use is to demonstrate the plaintiff’s last attempt to settle the case prior to going to court. Judges are believed...

    That is exactly the reason why many of us went Pro Se. It is good idea in general to pay such a deposit with a credit card, so that one can later contest the charges through one’s credit card company. Well, you can certainly sue your lawyer in the small claims court...

    There is some confusion about what to call WOM. In this forum “WOM” primarily means cases where no statue for the specifically mandated processing time can be cited. Plaintiffs have to go by “unreasonable delay” and it is ultimately the judge’s call what is reasonable and what is not. It appears...

    I would agree that $15 is not much compared to the possibility of the Oath ceremony being postponed… Probably people that I saw had recent tickets and did not request official letterhead. Best of luck, snorlax

    Hi Shvili, People that I talked to drove straight to the Traffic Court and stood in a line there without making any requests. Once they reached the clerk – they just asked for a receipt for their traffic ticket payment. The clerk would find their name in the database, print something out of...

    Congratulations again! I happened to see quite a few people that were sent to Traffic Court to get the evidence of clearing the tickets. Traffic school papers did not work. The ones bounced were usually re-scheduled either for the later ceremony on the same day or for the next ceremony. The...

    From the info in this forum and others it looks like it is sufficient to push USCIS through your Congressman, Senator and the First Lady as long as the FBI has cleared your security check. It appears that letters form their offices on the applicant’s behalf accelerate adjudication in most cases...

    Dear Shvili, congratulations! You are very close, it looks like! For some reason I could not see the forum website for last 4-5 days, although could ping the forum address. It is now theoretical, but through some haggling with AUSA I managed to get my joint stipulation formulated in the...

    Most certainly, you should file 1447b, not WoM. You can combine 1447b with WoM, but the core should be still 1447b as a stronger ground for the case. On the other hand - you delay appears to be caused by USCIS, not the FBI. You should continue to work through your Congressman and/or Senator -...

    I would suggest reading more from this forum, starting with the first page. Since you had your interview, your case is likely to become qualified for 1447(b) on the 121st day from the date of your interview. If you believe that your application is going to get stuck – you may start building your...

    Your AUSA is such a creep! I would try to oppose status conference cancellation and push hard for discovery. Request all producible documents from USCIS and FBI. As wenlock suggested (#11157, p. 744 and #111419, p .762) you should try to get court subpoena for local USCIS and FBI offices...

    I had the same experience back in March/April. I thought that was because of changes in the office following the dismissal of the head of the office Kevin Ryan. I had no idea who my AUSA was until I received an e-mail and a phone call from a paralegal working for Ila Deiss. I do not think that...
