First of all, you should not post personal information on the internet, where anyone can see it and abuse it! Second, we cannot tell you here how this will affect your immigration chances in the whole world, since this forum mainly is concerned with the laws of the United States of America...

There seem to be two totally different and independent cases possible: 1. Possession of child pornography This is a pretty serious matter which can land someone in jail for a year. The law prohibits "knowing" possession. You can always argue that you did not know the stuff was on your...

You need to have a work visa to work legally in the US. If the employer does not sponsor a visa, you will not get a work visa. And for call center jobs your chances to get a work visa are less than slim. The visa categories for this kind of work are way oversubscribed. You cannot just stay a...

Good to know. Thanks

No, it seems this was a purely civil matter between you and the store. If there would be any criminal charges you would have been notified long ago, Since there were no charges there won't be a criminal record. Regarding your application to law school, read the application very carefully...

It is a tough one. I don't envy any judge who has to deal with this. The first problem in my opinion is the unreliability of medical expert evidence. I have not looked into each and every detail in this case, but one of the basic elements here seems to be if this lady is in a totally vegetative...

No problem, the term "moral turpitude" is pretty confusing. Your problem is, that theft crimes are defined as crimes of moral turpitude. So you need to be sure that you only have one and not more convictions for any theft crimes. There also are some other crimes defined as moral turpitude...

You see, the point is exactly the opposite of your viewpoint. This visa is not meant for people who mainly want to move to another country and start a new life and lifestyle there, but for people who want to trade between countries, whose main purpose is to facilitate trade, but who actually are...

Hm, as far as I understand you now, you are out on bail, therefore free to move and do what you want. So nothing should keep you from collecting your belongings. If they do not give access to your belongings or take any of it they will be liable for theft and then you can call the cops. They...

This is the law: Criminal and related grounds.- (A) Conviction of certain crimes.- (i) In general.-Except as provided in clause (ii), any alien convicted of, or who admits having committed, or who admits committing acts which constitute the essential elements of- (I) a crime...

Depending on what you actually wrote on the check or in the coverletter sent with the check and your state's laws you may indeed have an "accord and satisfaction" settlement. Basically an accord and satisfaction means that a disputed debt was settled by the debtor offering less than what the...

well, first of all look where exactly it is standing. If it is totally on your property, it would indicate that you might own it, if it is totally on the neighbor's they might. Then, what do the neighbors say? Who erected it? The builders of the house, the developer or who? This is the kind...

probably right here

well, you have an attorney, he is supposed to be your advocate at the parole board, I guess this is all you can do in this situation.

why should the one thing deny the other? The smell could have been caused by someone else: Example: John is habitual smoker, his car always smells of smoke. Today he lent his car to Daisy who never smokes. Daisy is pulled over, the cop smells the smoke, searches the car etc. The cop...

No, there is no statute of limitations for that. If you falsely claim to be a citizen you cannot become a legal resident. And even if you are you would be deportable as soon as it comes out. I wonder, under what status is he in the country now?

You are in deep trouble and should seek professional representation by a criminal defense attorney who also has a good knowledge of and experience with immigration issues. Under Art. 237 INA any alien who is convicted of a crime of domestic violence is deportable. While the case is...

It depends on your employment contract, if there is any, on how they usually deal with a situation like this and the laws of the state. Most probably, though, it is legal. Under the theory of "at will employment" an employer (or an employee) can terminate an employment relationship any time...

Your attorney is right, the issue of what is a "conviction" under immigration law is pretty murky since states have invented many alternative dispositions. Usually it is interpreted this way: whenever a judge imposes something on you that you would not otherwise be obliged to do, like pay a...

it depends on which state you are in. In most states judges hear the children when they are 14 and older, in some states the law actually requires them to hear those children, usually also 14 and older. But in no case the wishes of the child are controlling, the judge always can decide against...
