    southcoast got a reaction from Boiler in can someone get a green card by being attacked in USA?   
    The crime would not be defined as demanding a cell phone and money. He did it at the point of a gun. That is robbery which is one of the crimes on the list you quoted.

    Couldn't agree more. It isn't a simple "mugging", it is an armed robbery. If the police are cooperative in issuing the predicate paperwork, then, on its face, it seems like a reasonable U-visa application.

    Reread your OP and I think that it is fair that people had that impression. First impressions are important, and frankly you come across as a bit entitled. If I were combing through dozens of resumes and cover letters, It is quite possible that I would reject one simply for "tone". Good luck with your job search.

    southcoast got a reaction from Marco&Bettina in Why I joined this site and how you can help me.   
    You said earlier that you have a lawyer. It is probably best if you work with him. The case went through immigration court, the BIA, and the 9th circuit. Obviously there is a final deportation order in place so nothing is going to happen unless the case is reopened by the immigration court- at least not while your father is in the US. They are holding him without bond so it appears that they aren't interested in working with you. You could apply for a stay of removal with ICE, but again, if they were hot enough for him to go out and arrest him right after the 9th circuit ruled- then they probably wont grant a stay. It sounds like your father committed an aggravated felony ( a crime of violence for which a sentence of 1 year or more was given). He could still be eligible for a waiver in court- but not until the court reopens his case. At any rate it sounds like you should work with the lawyer. You said earlier that he had charged you 5,000.00 which is incredibly cheap to litigate a case in the Circuit Court in addition to all the preliminary immigration court work. He is working for next to nothing and you should probably trust him over people who don't know all the facts of your case.

    southcoast got a reaction from Boiler in Help Fight VAWA fraud   
    Usually Im the lone wolf out here advocating for hiring an attorney, but I don't think you need to d much about this. You haven't adjusted her and I assume you will not. So her only relief is a VAWA claim. There's not much you can do about this because of privacy laws, but you can certainly send a certified letter to USCIS referencing her a-file. Let them know what you have said here. The letter should follow her A-file and be reviewed when she applies for a U-visa. I wouldn't lose any sleep over this. Write the letter and cut off all communications with her. Don't put yourself in a compromising position where she can make assault allegations and then get on with your life.

    southcoast got a reaction from TBoneTX in What will an Attorney do for me   
    I think TB Bone has it right. It depends on your ability to do-it-yourself. If you are the type of person who would take on a long form tax return yourself, then you could probably handle a basic petition. One bit of advice that seems to be recurring here is: if it is a vanilla case, then there is no need for a lawyer. I agree with this generally, but it isn't always easy to tell what cases are vanilla. If it were me, I would probably pay a lawyer for a consultation to determine if there were any issues. Then I would make up my mind whether his fees were justified, to me, or whether it was worth it to do it myself.

    If he is active duty Navy there is free assistance through the JAG offices. They will assign a lawyer to complete the paperwork and answer any questions. No cost so you may as well use it. There may even be some fee assistance. Its a great resource.

    I don't know who buys them. I have a number of guns and enjoy shooting them, but I never understood the assault weapons. I was in a gun shop a few weeks ago and was amazed by the number of people in there buying, or at least looking at assault weapons. Zombie apocalypse maybe.

    southcoast got a reaction from Rob L in criminal charges   
    You didn't give much detail on the crimes. But generally, simple assault is not a CIMT and therefore is not an excludable offense. B&E on the other hand is excludable. You will be given the opportunity to file a 601 waiver, and if you can prove extreme hardship on the petitioning spouse, then you can get a waiver. This would happen at the adjustment interview, not the I130 interview. You should talk to your attorney about whether in this new marriage you have built the equities to support the waiver. If you have not, then sit on the approved 130 before filing the 485.

    I think it has to do with whether the country requires an oath of allegiance. This area is extremely complicated. I have looked for clear guidance on it many times and haven't found any. I would go to a lawyer expert in the area before I took a chance of losing my USC.

    southcoast got a reaction from Ian H. in deported with a lifetime ban on reentry   
    I wouldn't be too quick to judge this "drug trafficker". That is defined by the INA and does not necessarily mean that he is a drug dealer. That aside, there are no waivers available. You could take another run at vacating the charge. He does not need an immigrant waiver for a non immigrant visa ie. a visitor's visa. I have seen many people return on these for visits. He shuld get his life squared away in a way that is demonstrable to the US Consul and he might be able to get one after a couple of years.

    You are passing judgment without having any idea of the facts. I have seen many cases where people havetaken "trafficking" convictions withut being dealers. You buy some weed and split it with your friend. You have possessed with intent to distribute which is a trafficking crime under the fed law. It was much better when the judges had discretion in these cases. they could look at the facts and decide. Certainly what you and I think of as traffickers should be deported,b ut a lot of people with minimal culpability get caught up in the net.

    The point was that there are millions of Hispanic people employed in this country and not every illegal is a field hand . Shocker right . I don't buy that nobody would look at this guy then like magic his inbox just fills up just because he changed his name. I will tell you that in many HR departments Hispanic people are sought out for language skills and because they have a reputation as hard workers.
    What grates me is, people with a chip already on there shoulder comb the net for, junk science BS stories like this and then jump all over it, yet there own life experiences paint a different picture.
    Is this story true. Who knows. Most of this resume submission sites are automated anyway. More than likely what happened is the same experience I had. when your resume is new it gets lots of attention, then as you apply more and more it gets more saturation and less response. More than likely it was treated as a new resume and all the job sites propagated it and it got lots of new attention.
    Do some independent verification and blind testing and get back to me. The story is BS
