My brother was arrested and charged for aggravated assault on a law officer and possession. His arresting officer was later convicted of possession of child pornography. Can my brother get a dismissal or appeal based on the officer misconduct he is not longer a cop

You are in violation of your B1B2 status right now. Your best bet of having any hope of getting an F-1 is by dropping out of school.

The cost will likely vary depending on the complexity of the allegations, the school, the internal appeal process, and the individual attorney, among other things.

There are two types of Custody-Legal and Physical and it depends upon what your Judgment and Decree says.
1) Students/teachers are 3D Printing items such as Mickey Mouse.
2) Students/teachers are using a plasma table to cut NFL/MLB logos, Harley Davidson logos and then sell to community.

Generally, creating and selling branded items with someone else's trademark, like a professional sports team, is trademark infringement and is against the law. In most cases, making 3D printed objects is fine. If you are creating and selling copyright protected characters, you could run into... View More

More would need to be known before an attorney could properly evaluate your case, but feel free to give one a call as I believe this could be handled at a rather reasonable cost. The attorney would want to know 1) If a doctor has cleared you to play sports; and 2) Whether everybody made the team.... View More
We signed a contract that allows them to take our phone at anytime and search it. Is the enforcement of this policy legal and is it legal for the school to make us sign this contract?
answered on Jul 21, 2016
Schools are allowed to exhibit a greater deal of control over students in the school than would be allowed in other situations. The contract isn't so much a legal contract as it is a "behavior contract" for the purpose of communicating the policy to students. The school is allowed to... View More
