    Other Immigration Law I-94

    You need two permits to come to the US and stay: one to enter and one to stay. A visa is the entry permit, allowing you to enter the country. The I-94 is the form you get at the border or airport allowing you to stay in the country. You need both to show that you are legally in the...

    Fraud, Embezzlement, Bad Checks ok i have a question, please anyone help!

    These are all questions you should ask your attorney. Since we don't know the evidence, we cannot answer if this will be enough for an indictment or not. But if the judge feels that there is a probability that a crime was committed, he will probably bind the accused over for trial and then...

    Criminal Law class 2 misdemeanor and f1 visa

    It will probably depend on the paperwork. Technically it can be argued that you have been working for the store because you took over a job that normally a paid employee would have had to do. That is valid even if you yourself were not paid. And you have a criminal conviction regardless if it is...

    They want out!

    It depends on your contract. Unless it has a provision that allows them to get out I would say no, they cannot simply quit. But it depends on what you agreed upon.

    probably yes. It can be a crime if the state penal code so provides, it also can be a tort (a civil wrong that would lead to damages), for example misrepresentation, abuse of process etc.

    Breach of Contract by Buyer

    well, if you represented the house being built in 1979 and in reality it was built in 1963 buyer here probably has a case to get out of the contract. If I were him I would even consider fraud charges. Also look at your contract. What does it say about rescission and due diligence?
