No, but the amount of fees must be reasonable, and an argument can be made that the time and billing associated with the lost counts were not reasonable since the claims were rejected; therefore, some adjustment is appropriate. In the end, the amount of fees are left to the “sound judgment “ of... Read more »
Being in prison doesn’t disqualify someone from an inheritance unless they killed their benefactor.
I voluntarily departure in 2014 for 3 simple possessions of marijuana. I am married with a u.s citizen for 10 years with 3 kids I am wondering is there any waiver to help me out I came right back as soon as I got to my country
yes..it appears you would be a successful prospect for a waiver, but more facts would be needed to know. Discuss your case in private with counsel.
what kind of law is used and how would you define the statutory interpretation used?
It's possible part of your post was left off. As a general matter, statutory interpretation is essentially what the definition suggests - the operation of a court interpreting legislation. Good luck

Concerning my case I file for asylum since 2015 but until now I haven't any response
When you say file for a green car pending asylum, I assume you mean to be the beneficiary of a marriage based spousal petition? Is that accurate?
I believe it to be a patent I sent him to the patent office with.
This is not easy as the USPTO tools for searching fields such as name do not apply to patents from that time frame.
The assignment database goes back to 1980. The full text search tool on USPTO goes back to 1976. While the images of the earlier patents can be retrieved by patent number,... Read more »
It is possible that the product you are looking at is not covered by a current patent.
The best place to start is with the product itself and the packaging that comes with the product. There is an incentive to mark the patent number on the product or at least a web page address that... Read more »

This site is for real legal problems, not hypotheticals
There wasn't a question here, but it appears to involve an injury in the course of employment. You could repost with additional information/question - and maybe add Workers' Comp as a category if it is applicable to your matter. Good luck

Let him sue.
I presume that your FIL passed away, and you are asking if your wife, the next of kin, gets to inherit his patents.
Generally, patents are legally considered personal property, and thus the heirs can inherit patents just like a car, or an art collection.
Unfortunately, in your... Read more »
I am filing for my citizenship application (N-400). I need to know what should I put in Part 10 - 9 - B of the form "My Prior Spouse's Immigration status when my marriage ended"?
We get married in the US in 2013 in VA (both on J-1 visa). She went back and I applied for Asylum. I got it,... Read more »
It is not expected that you know everything about your ex-wife. So by witting "unknown" should be sufficient and better than leaving the question unanswered.
Good luck!!

Is one remark consider age discrimination or does it have to be a pattern of behavior?

The survivor of the two joint tenants becomes sole owner of the property as a matter of law. The survivor can, but need not, file a new deed to show the property is solely theirs.

This is a confidential question.
This is a public forum, it is not confidential. I recommend you consult with an attorney about this in person. Obviously it is not good. You are stating that someone has engaged in fraud against the government. If discovered that person could be prosecuted and it may affect the immigration status... Read more »

My spouse's B2 visa got rejected twice (in two different cities, Kolkata & Delhi, in India) while my H1B visa transfer petition was in process to start a new job. Now my H1B visa is approved and stamped, and my spouse will be applying for H4 on my H1B. What are the chances for rejection? Which city... Read more »
A B2 visa rejection would not normally affect the H4 eligibility, but it depends why the B2 was rejected. If you're concerned, I would recommend that your wife speak to an attorney in person before applying, just to make sure there aren't any issues that would prevent her from qualifying.
You will need to meet with an experienced immigration attorney and provide them with a copy of the approval as well as the notice of intent to revoke. You will also have to give them all the information about yourself which will help them to give you the proper advice. Unfortunately, you have not... Read more »
