You may initiate divorce proceedings as it would be untenable to continue maintaining a marriage that has graduated into a sad veneer of a loving and harmonious union.
They're trying to charge him with attempted murder, kidnapping (with a prior), and torture. I have screenshots of messages from the alleged "victim" admitting that he framed my boyfriend to put him in jail, in order to be able to catch me in my sleep again. We really need a criminal... View More

A pro bono attempted murder attorney is as rare as extinct Tasmanian devils. The defendant may request the presiding judge to appoint a Public Defender at no charge due to one's indigeny, yet, one thing clear: that case needs an attentive professional.

If I ask my employer to take step to withdraw H1b by Oct1st, I will go back to H4EAD or remain out of status?
answered on Sep 26, 2021
That is a very unusual approach. Given the time, efforts, and financial burden on the sponsoring U.S. employer, one of the possible explanations could be that the original H1B was not genuine or authentic to begin with.

It appears that your interview developed a Request for Additional Evidence before rendering a decision in that case.
That request must be carefully examined by a licensed attorney before providing the husband with a clear legal guidance how to handle that submission.

Hard to say as the forfeiture could take many forms in connection with a pending criminal case,
Essentially, it means that the person loses property due to a legal violation of the collateral for said property.

Also, any reinstatement of state driver's license does require a fee.

The USCIS.gov lists all fees for for each federal form.
However, an AOS (adjustment of status) to LPR only requires a fee for I-485 ($1225, which includes $85 biometrics fee). When I-765 EAD, I-131, Re-Entry Permit are a part of the concurrent AOS filing, (it is called One Stop concurrent... View More

It appears that would be perfectly lawful based on the statutes and the sworn affidavit sating the legal need for such.

You keep posting the same legal issue repeatedly and the answer remains the same.
Also, is this for me, the petitioner, or is this for the beneficiary? The instructions on the online form aren't very clear. I keep getting error messages saying, "You should provide evidence. If you do not provide evidence, your petition processing may be delayed."

We tend to recommend filing paper submissions only retaining a copy in the file for housekeeping and accountability reasons. But even generally we do not include only required submissions that do not confuse the processing officer.
I was arrested for DUI in Florida on vacation. My BAC was the highest tier >.16 (I blew .20). I live in PA. The PA DMV website says first time DUI's out of state carry no license suspension in PA. Sounds too good to be true. Does anyone know for certain?
answered on Sep 23, 2021
I do not practice in PA but even generally, it makes no sense for PA to forgive the first DUI elsewhere.
I strongly doubt that could be true. Ask a PA DUI counsel directly.

I am under gay asylum. And in a gay marriage. Just heard it’s a new law that green card holder is the same as a citizen now. At least close. Could it be more fast and easy to get documents through my marriage?
answered on Sep 23, 2021
You heard wrong: whole your asylum case pending it does not confer status (unless you somehow maintained a student F-1 visa for that long, which is doubtful).
The fact that you are married to the LPR does not open up an immediate legal path to adjust to LPR as your spouse must naturalize... View More
