Do the government departments MUST enrolled in E-Verify to hire on STEM OPT even if they are exempted from E-Verify?
answered on Dec 6, 2017
An immigration lawyer or one who serves as counsel (possibly in house) for higher education is best suited to answer this question.

This is a very broad question that can be answered in many ways, but broadly in New York there is legislation (the Taylor Law) that sets up a system of procedures and protections for public sector employers and employees.

Her SS card, Medicare card, everything is "Ann" How can I get a legal name change if she already is known as Ann, except on her birth certificate? Any advice greatly appreciated
answered on Aug 16, 2017
Name changes are meant to be done yourself, i.e. DIY or pro se. The clerk in Civil Court in the Bronx (assuming that is where your mother lives) has the forms. It is easy.

You can still file for benefits but it will be difficult to recover if you did not file for your weekly benefits over the past 3.5 months. The Department of Labor requires that you file for benefits every week, even when you have been denied and are trying to overturn the decision. In NY State you... Read more »

Should that diss miss a criminal case?
answered on Jan 25, 2017
Unless law enforcement has a warrant or there is some exception to the warrant requirement, the search is probably barred. If the search was unconstitutional, then it is possible that evidence that was recovered as a result may be supressed as the fruit of the poisonous tree.

If you file against a case against the city and they don't answer the complaint does that means I can not sue does? If I don't get a 50 H hearing and a civil suit and the other family did does that means I have no suit and they do?

Not clear what you're asking in the details. Normally, in civil cases, if a defendant doesn't answer a properly-filed and served complaint, the plaintiff can file for a default judgment. Best to consult with a local lawyer about your matter.
