Hello everyone! I was on vacation in California and I have some doubts regarding some events that happened during my stay related to drugs (marihuana). I would like to receive professional advice while finding a lawyer. As for the advice, I do not care if it is by Skype or by other telematic way... Read more »
Dear Spanish Tourist:
What would be more helpful to any potential attorney in California is to tell us generally where this occurred. I am located in Oakland, in Northern California and could not really be of assistance in the Los Angeles Area as this is about 400 miles away.

Showing charge 1-alien inadmissibility under section 212, I was detained at the port of entry trying to pass the border with false passport, was finger printed pictured and let go, they did not tell me I was charged with anything serious so I am not sure what my charges are, my USCUS FIOA shows no...

INA section 212 is the grounds on inadmissibility. I would guess that your stop and detention at the border constitutes an expedited removal which is in the records of CBP, not USCIS. Furthermore, if you used a false document in order to try and gain entry into the US, you committed immigration... Read more »
Should i wait till i make more money or do they not care on how much i make?
USCIS does not care how much money you make for the purpose of naturalization. However, the do care that you pay your taxes and that you do not owe any child support.
So I'm petitioning for my mother to get her green card. The problem is that my father and her keep insisting on using people that aren't lawyers to save money. My father's divorce with his former wife, who he hadn't even seen in 30 years, took almost 2 years. Finally they took my advice and got a... Read more »
Sounds like your "notario" is working on an I-601A waiver. These are difficult to obtain and I agree that using an non-licensed amateur is risking a seriously adverse consequence if your mother is ordered deported and barred from any immigration benefit for 10 years.

You will need to apply for a passport from your home country. If there is a consulate in California, then go and apply there.

The short answer to your question is to make a FOIA request for you alien file, unless you have retained your documents that show you were reinstated.
I am on h4 visa and I have a lot of hotwheels cars. Can I sell them online ?
I have a lot of hotwheels cars which I bought from a collector. We have used 40% of them but still 300 cars are in boxes as they are repeated cars.
I bought those 500-600 cars for my son's birthday.... Read more »
Yes you can sell your personal property on line without offending your immigration status. However, you may have a duty to report this income to the IRS. Please consult with a tax specialist on what is required to remain in compliance with tax law.

If you live in Alameda County, the public defender's office was a clean slate clinic that helps people to clean up this record.
Signed Unpublished) The orders revoking probation are affirmed. The matters are remanded to the trial court for resentencing consistent with this opinion. The petition for a writ of habeas corpus is summarily denied.
Thank you for your help
Short answer, your husband's appeal was unsuccessful. He will remain incarcerated under his original sentence which granted him probation, either ISS or ESS.
The only potential recourse you have available at this juncture is to seek protection under asylum law, withholding, or alternatively protection under CAT. However, you may not be eligible for release from custody and will have to fight your case in detention.
successfully served me?
Short answer is yes. The evidence would come in under the hearsay exception as a business record, authenticated by the record keeper as true and correct.
But im looking for some help with doing the papers work so i can be sure its being done correctly.

He was mentally and emotionally abusive. We are divorced now. He tried to get full custody of our kids using the excuse in not legally in the USA and that I could be deported at any time. We were married for 8 years.
I would look into the possibility of filing a VAWA petition.
The issue in your situation is how you entered the US. If you entered without inspection (EWI) than you are ineligible to adjust your status in the US.
Not that I am aware.
I'm worried though that they can still file criminal charges against me -- can they?
The short answer is yes. But it would not be the store that files charges, it would be the District Attorney's Office in your local county that files the criminal complaint in the superior court after reviewing the police report.
It depends upon the form of the deportation order. If you had a hearing in front of an immigration judge and the court made a decision on any applications for relief you filed with the court, then yes, you have 30-days to file a notice of appeal to the BIA, or Board of Immigration Appeals....
