Asked by a user in Kingman, AZ - 6 months ago.

The police report and charging documents will likely be the most important items in this determination. Get copies of those if you can locate them and take them to your lawyer.

What do I do?

Asked by a user in Tucson, AZ - 9 months ago.

There will be costs associated with any petition you file to bring him to the US. These include fees payable to the federal government as well as any fees charged by an attorney. I would start small first. Set an appointment with an attorney to determine what petition can be filed, if any. The cost of that consultation will be more accessible if both you and your husband are working. Once you identify the goal, then you and your husband can start saving toward the petition and fees that...

High hopes with difficult measures marrying an illegal

Asked by a user in Phoenix, AZ - 9 months ago.

You do not state your immigration status, but if you are a US citizen your situation is much better than if you are a resident. Your fiance's circumstances will need to be analyzed closely to determine what the exact disposition of his prior detention was. It is good that you recognize that his is not a simple situation, but you should keep your hope. Depending on what happened in 2007and your immigration status, he may have some options available.

1st immigration hearing this wednesday and i dont have an attorney. what could be the consequences?

Asked by a user in Phoenix, AZ - 9 months ago.

You appear to have options in your defense. A strong suggestion is to get an attorney involved and to not try to handle your defense on your own. Since Wednesday will likely be too soon for many attorneys to appear, start your research on attorneys now, ask the judge for time to speak to an attorney, and immediately move toward that goal. Depending on the judge, you may be given just a couple of weeks to get an attorney. Most good attorneys have their time booked well in advance.

How can I bond our farmhand out of ICE detention?

Asked by a user in Lumpkin, GA - 9 months ago.

He can request a bond from the official himself by submitting a written request. A simple DWi should not make him ineligible for a bond. Usually bonds by ICE officers are high, which provides one an opportunity for a judge to redetermine the bond amount. If he is unwilling or unable to pay the bond set by the ICE officer, you should look to hire an experienced attorney to reduce the bond amount. A good and reputable immigration attorney will be a worthwhile investment when it comes to...

Sentenced with Immigration Hold? Now what??

Asked by a user in Houston, TX - 9 months ago.

It may take a few days to determine where he will be going, if he is to be detained by ICE. At this point, if you cannot visit him or speak with him to determine what he knows, you should be preparing to address his bond if he will be turned over to ICE. This means working closely with an attorney once you find out he has been transferred to ICE custody to submit the required information to the immigration court and making sure you have enough money or property available to cover the bond...
