    Hurt in a Restaurant, is there a case?

    this is really not enough information to make an evaluation. Generally you might have two approaches for a claim: looking for fault in the manager's conduct and sue the restaurant under the doctrine of respondeat superior, or looking directly for fault of the restaurant which can be lack of...

    TN Visa Canadian wanting to move to US

    Aunts uncles and cousins do not help at all. Family based immigration is only possible for spouses, parents, children and brothers or sisters. That leaves you with an employment based visa. The main point is here to have a job offer by an American company which is willing to sponsor you for a...

    Naturalization, Citizenship dual citizenship

    what citizenship do you carry now? I assume the American since both your parents were US citizens. In this case you couldprobably not apply for German citizenship because Germany does not recognize the ius soli, that means a person born on German soil does not automatically become a German...

    Criminal Law Moving to the US with a Criminal Record

    One would have to see exactly what the record shows. The charges sound much worse than what you describe, so it depends on how the USCIS would evaluate and interpret the case paperwork. Whenever you are going to look for a job here, you should consult an immigration attorney and have him figure...

    Assault & Battery False imprisonment?!?!? And it's a felony?!?!?

    it is common practice for prosecutors to charge a pretty high charge and then wait for the defendant to plead it down, so don't be surprised at the felony charge. Get an attorney, though, because there is a lot on the line...

    Criminal Law misdemeanor hit and run

    Any criminal record can be a problem for immigration purposes. So I would advise to consult a criminal defense attorney who is experienced in these kind of hit and run cases as well as in immigration matters (not all defense attorneys are experts in immigration, so you should definitely ask!)...

    K Visa Regarding the I-94 form and marrying my American bf

    Well, let me tell you this. Your questions sound to me as if you really are not so sure about this yourselves. Somehow I am not so sure that you are convinced that marrying now is the right thing to do. If that is so, then don't do it. The "tourist" option may or may not work for a while...

    Offer to Buy Question

    If a valid offer has been accepted this is a valid contract. If you don't perform, you will be in breach and can be sued. However, there are many issues around such a problem. First of all: did you accept the offer in writing? Have you signed any contract or something similar? And if, are there...

    Sex Crimes, Sex Offenders rape/how to prove innoncence

    Well, the only thing I can advise you from this point of view is to work very diligently with the attorney defending him. This is a very serious allegation and difficult to defend against, so it is extremely important to have a good defense attorney and to really cooperate with him or her. Many...

    Passport n600 or US passport

    I assume you are looking for this provision of the law: Sec. 322. [8 U.S.C. 1433] (a) A parent who is a citizen of the United States 2/ (or,if the citizen parent has died during the preceding 5 years, a citizen grandparent or citizen legal guardian) may apply for naturalization on behalf of a...

    Arrest, Search, Seizure, Warrant Mom got me arrested

    Well, I fear it doesn't matter. Normally they would have needed an arrest warrant, but the unconstitutionality of an arrest in itself usually is of very little use to a defendant since it cannot serve as a defense. A defendant may be tried and convicted regardless of the fact that his arrest was...

    K Visa Canadian married to American-crossing border

    You got to get your paperwork in order and you should do so from Canada. You have to obtain a valid Canadian passport and then, if you want to stay in the U.S., you would have to obtain a K-3 Visa to enter the U.S. legally. Then you would have to adjust status to legal permanent residency...

    K Visa Canadian married to American - Border Problems

    I am sorry to hear this, but this is the law. The law does not acknowledge your kind of "in between" status. Either you are a legal permanent resident or your are simply a tourist, and since she is not a LPR she will be treated as any other tourist. The best thing would be to pursue legal...

    My Contractor Keeps Giving Me Bills!!!!

    That does not look good. The problem is , we can here only give general answers: yes, if a contractor signed a contract, he is bound by it. Unless you agree to modifications he normally cannot modify it. If a price was negotiated for the work, he normally cannot simply rewrite the bills. I say...

    International Issue Canadian in America/ American Serviceman Overseas

    I can only give you very limited answers but I will try to point you in the right direction: (a) American immigration status It depends on what status she has now. If she already is a permanent legal resident (has a green card) then being married to you would not make a difference. If...

    K Visa Regarding the I-94 form and marrying my American bf

    OK, we have to sort things out a little. First question would be: where are you now? As you already know about the K-1 or K-3 visa, remember that they are meant to allow you to enter the country legally, therefore you only get them outside of the country. Since you are outside of the US when...
