Not worth the risk! Even though it is a one-ff market research focus group and that the USCIS may never be none the wiser about it, I would still not risk being found in violation of the terms of my visa as at the end of the day, it is still considered earnings which may well be construed as...

It comes when it comes! Let’s put it this way; A friend of mine filed his application for citizenship in 2005. He was interviewed later that year and his application was dully approved and was told he would soon receive a letter in the mail telling where and when to attend the ceremony. He...

Not sure what the question is! Fernandoalvarez: Could you be a bit more specific as to what it is you are looking for and what exactly is the question or inquiry. Are you, for example, the inventor looking to find a distributor; or are you looking to import someone else’s invention into...

Fugitive from traffic court? All you have to do is go to the traffic court designated on the citation you were issued first thing in the morning; i.e. the morning docket, and tell the clerk that you want to see the judge on a “walk-in” basis, or to be put on the calendar for another day if you...

You must file responsive brief! It is not that the defendant has been “allowed” to appeal the judgment as an indigent, but that the case is one from which an appeal can be taken and he has based it on being indigent, which is not going to go anywhere. The standards for appellate review are...

Leave him be! It is really not necessary to have anything in writing to enable you to sue him, especially after the facts, and you can file a small claims action as things stand. I mean, you can waste time and energy drawing up a promise to pay document or some contract to that effect, but it...

Long answer to a short question! Franc: Take your attorney’s good directives and advice to not only ignore any and all so-called “Civil Restitution” demands from the store, which is really a euphemism for Civil Shakedown and wholly unnecessary in this particular instance, but also to enter a...

Proof is in the pudding! If there is one promise in your life that you should endeavor not to keep, it is the one you made here. You can ask as many questions as you want and I shall respond to each one to the best of my knowledge and besides, questions are THE main function and stock-in-trade...

Sure it is! Well, it is my pleasure and I’m happy to have been of some help, and of course it is possible! For this, you would be petitioning the court in which your case was heard for an order Sealing and/or Expunging your Criminal Arrest (Court & Police) Records since even though you...

It's a great twist the lime, or is it lemon!? HP- Compaq actually left you a phone message AND sent you an e-mail offering to replace the malfunctioning equipment like for like? It sounds very much like it is Game, Set, and (almost) Match, Christine; and talk about (almost) winning a war...

More effective? A very good evening to you clngr (Christine): Well, you are most welcome and it’s my pleasure, and, apologies for the tardy response. It is of course not only more effective to hire a lawyer in such matters, it is absolutely vital and always advisable especially if the...

No Reprieve on this one! Well, it sounds like you have been caught for a second D.U.I. offense while buzzed and thankfully you did not cause an accident or worse, caused a bodily injury or killed someone as the result, in which case nothing on this planet would have saved you from a good...

Gotta get tough! Don’t waste your valuable time dickering with a rotating group of low level lackeys at the end of an 800 number who are programmed to spit out the same “it’s not our fault” routine to any and all callers with such dilemmas. Just grab them by their proverbial corporate...
