You have to look at whether this travel will allow the government to argue that you are not afraid to return to your country of origin. It is possible, but it might not help your case. Consult an immigration attorney with the specific facts of your case for a more specific answer.

Because apparently your insurance company didn't reach settlement with them. Make a copy of the papers. Notify the adjuster handling the claim 1) by phone 2) by email 3) by sending a copy of the complaint to them by registered mail, certified return receipt. Do this at once!

You are a tenant-at-will (also known as a month-to-month tenant). Because you don't have a lease, your mother (as landlord) doesn't have to provide a lock on your door and normally you would need the landlord's permission to install one. If you do so anyway, she can evict you.... View More

They do not have to use anything that you might have said. The facts speak for themselves, you had a bac of .36. That is quite dangerous. Why should you not get a criminal charge? You are obviously a danger to yourself. Now, should the criminal justice system step in and force you to get help?... View More
