Hm, your mother's legal status in the US has nothing to do with your possible Canadian citizenship. If she has an American green card, she has a residency permit. She should, of course, always renew her actual green card. You received American citizenship because you were born on American...

Hm, this really sounds like unlawful harassment. Your should find out what the appropriate way in your community is to file a complaint about the police officer's conduct and then do so.

It never pays attempting to conceal criminal history from the USCIS. You definitely should consult an immigration attorney because without one you mightl have substantial problems in obtaining permission to enter the US again.

it depends on a couple of factors: -the circumstances of the assault: was domestic violence involved? Were firearms involved? -the possible maximum sentence -the actual sentence served -any other criminal history Simple assault as defined in American law usually does not count as a...

It could be harassment. It really depends on the details and on your state's law. It even could be slander depending on what really is being said and to whom. It could be a private nuisance, it could be infliction of emotional distress. The problem here rather is, will legal action solve the...

Depending on the circumstances, it would probably be criminal attempt. It is the same as if you would try to pick someone's pocket and either it is empty or you get caught before you can grab the money. You will still be guilty of attempt.

NJ does not recognize common law marriage. But for social security purposes this does not really matter, because this is the law: "Section 1614(d)(2) of the Social Security Act provides that: "In determining whether two individuals are husband and wife for purposes of this title...

Well, it probably is time to grow up and face your responsibilities. 1) It depends on a couple of factors: the contract, the way the contract was formed, the substance of the contract and how old you are now and how long you thought you could afford not to care. Some contracts can be...

it should not be. Under the law of most states, you cannot counsel or represent anyone unless you are admitted to the bar. Usually advising someone how to act pro se would be considered unauthorized practice of law unless that person would be licensed to practice law. In some states there...

That depends on teh question if there was any misrepresentation underlying the contract. If the seller knew for example that this would be the happening, there might have been a fraudulent misrepresentation and that could lead to damages. If the seller stated that this was BLM land and it never...

Unless you are dead, you surely can sue him for battery. You don't have to wait for conclusion of the criminal proceedings, though often people do wait. On the other hand, once a guy is in jail, often he has no longer any assets that make suing him worth the effort. You should discuss this with...

It all depends on the details of your lease. But normally once a lease is signed, the tenant has the right to fully enjoy and use the leased land and the landlord has no right to enter it (except for certain emergencies etc., but not to use it). So your landlord would be breaching the lease...

It depends on the state's law. But I assume nowhere in the US you can simply put someone's belongings on the street or in a van and "kick" him out. Eviction nowadays is a very complicated procedure that usually involves a court. In most states a landlord simply putting someone on the street...

It depends on what visa the Canadian has. You can marry anywhere you want. If he has a valid student visa and is legally in the US, you then can simply file the petition for alien relative and file for adjustment of statuts. You do not need to leave the country or a fiancee visa for that.

it is pretty doubtful that he will prevail. Your original contract was to pay $ 50. Now, there seems to be some uncertainty about the time payment was due. He probably expected payment right away. But he also seemed to have agreed later to wait. Since you never negotiated a "holding fee" there...

The answer is no and no. There is no way to speed the USCIS, if there would be one, thousands of people would attempt to do it. And without an EAD you cannot do any work, no freelancing, nothing.

well, legally it is you who must tread lightly now. You have signed a lease you don't want to honor. Legally that is a breach of contract and you could be made liable for damages. The moment you signed, you committed yourself. So if you threaten legal action you might be in for a surprise if...

It depends on your lease contract, the law and upon who the landlord is. Usually taking in an unauthorized tenant might be grounds for eviction. Eviction itself usually is a pretty complicated legal process where you must observe the law to its detail, because otherwise you might be facing...

You are out of luck there. The law has no remedy for future damages that might or might not materialize and that cannot even be estimated as to their amount.

I fear this cannot be answered in a general way. One would have to look at the complete details of the case and even then it could very well be up to the mood of a judge. This is an area where the law is constantly changing and much is not really established yet. Usually these questions involve...
