query11,
I have also heard good things about quanlaw. A friend of mine had his green card application handled by Perez himself, when the law firm was much smaller.
After Quan became a councilman it seems the firm has really exploded in size.
I was also told unless Bryan Bates and not any other junior lawyer handles your lawsuit, its better to avoid them.
The one with the most experience and who everyone has good things to say about is Peter Williamson - 713-751-0222.

I just called Justin X. Wang (415) 576-9923. He charges US$ 3,500 + filing fee US$400. However, he said that it is too early for me to start with lawsuit. He asked me to call him after 120 days after interview. That is 08/11/2006. The chance to win this case of 1447(b) petition is 100%. I just can't wait to sue USCIS. Thansk a lot for providing me this information.

What district did you file in? The advice you got is very confusing.
I am in Northern CA and I just read the Pro Se handbook. It says that you can get the defendants to sign a "waiver of service." So that you won't have to serve them by hand but by mail. Since the U.S. government agencies can be served by mail already, this doesn't really apply to us.
I don't think you should sign anything that will give the defendants the right not to answer to your complaint within 60 days.
You might want to check your court's local rules as well Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Good luck.

The fee seems to be the lowest I've heard of so far.
The lawyer is also right about the timing. You can file only after 120 days from the date of your interview. I've been waiting almost 8 months and am ready to file my lawsuit. My goal is to file on June 5, 2006.
Let us know how it will go.

Thank you

I'm getting kinda tired of people who are too lazy to read through this thread. I'm sorry, I try to be helpful, but a few weeks ago I read through all 110 pages at that time - then I started asking a few questions. Is that really too much to ask??

wel, i can tell that about 95% of the questions being asked here are repetation of something that have been already asnwered, and the answer exisit here somewhere.lt1GM said:I'm getting kinda tired of people who are too lazy to read through this thread.

but the truth is that peopel are different in how time and effort they want to give to tis, and how valuable it is for them to to save themselves and others the unecessary reashearch, and reply.
personally i like everyone to fair to everyone else, and try to finndout whatever information they want, if ti is here before asking question, but the truth of the matter is thatw e all new to this, and we are excited, and scared and worried,dont where to start, and simply comfused and want to know what we want to the shortest and the easiest way possible, so often time, i feel like it is just easier to answer the question, isntead of refering some one to where the answer is.
it is a huge steps to understand that you can ginght the governement, and you ask for your rights by laws, and whats bigger is learning correctly how to do that, yes it is impossible, a lot have done it, we see them here everyday, and read their stories, and feel their sorrow, and share their joy, afetr they prevail.
wit all this im mind, i can see how some one would miss some thing, beside when i starte dhere , these thread was only 50 pages, now it is what 2, 3 times that.

I diligently read through this thread for a few weeks, downloading all the attachments, saving posts that I believed would help me to prepare for the lawsuit. I also read through the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Local Court Rules, and the Pro Se Handbook. Anybody can do this.
Now I feel that I have all the information I need.
Thank you everybody for this great thread.

I am totally with you, man!

Every time I see something like that, angry is an understatement, but I managed to direct that anger towards those who deserve it, namely USCIS, and just ignore those who are just too lazy to do their own homework. Then one day, there was a cry that this forum is not helping the new members, I almost replied to that with "WTF are you talking about", but I did not. The truth is for all the website that I visit, I almost NEVER participate, just passively reading, this is the ONLY one that I jump in once in a while and try to help whenever I can, for I have learned so much by reading this thread and I feel obligated to give back to this community. So people, stop irratating others, do your homework first, if you can't read all the 160 pages, at least read the FIRST post by Publicus and his attachments, that should answer 95% of your questions. If that is still too much to ask, you don't deserve to be here! Sorry about my bluntness.lt1GM said:I'm getting kinda tired of people who are too lazy to read through this thread.

To FedoraCore about Interested Parties
Certificate of interested parties is a form you have to fill out when submitting your complaint to the court. In it, you name all the defendants and plaintiffs. It is basically for the judge to know who is involved in this case. It was a part of the Pro Se package in my District (LA, CA).

Petition
The Sweilem case that is cited in many of the responses (against DA's motion to dismiss on jurisdiction related issues) under 8 USC 1444(b) is interestingly a petition involving multiple individuals. I do not have the opinion of the court - the Pacer simply has too many documents. Does any one know how to look for simply the court opinion? What might that be called in Pacer?

Hi,
This is a wonderful place for all of name check pending waiters. I have kept reading this thread since the first day I got my n400 name check pending. I think everyone has the same feeling on his/her pending case. Let's help each other instead of complain others. No question is stupid. Ask question and get answer immediately. That is what we need in this thread. Getting an answer from 162 page is not easy. May God bless all of us to win this battle from USCIS. We are deserved to win our US citizenship with honor. Be kind.
