Wife entered U.S. illegally 8 years ago, what is the process of making her legal

Asked by a user in Seattle, WA - almost 4 years ago.

Her situation is a difficult one, but the way I see it: 1. She could wait for an amnesty if one ever happens. (Speculative) 2. She could ask for a waiver and apply outside the United States at the counsul in her home country. Unfortunatly her situation is a difficult one. My question to her would be what country did she come from and what were the circumstances surrounding her leaving her home country? These are difficult cases and very fact specific.

B2 extension denial

Asked by a user in Seattle, WA - over 3 years ago.

Unfortunatly when you requested the extension it was best to provide Immigration will all supporting documents. By now it would appear that your parents have already returned to Japan so if they are going to apply for another B2 Visa make sure their ties to Japan are significantly strong to establish they do not wish to remain in the U.S. Good Luck.

What is the statue of limitations in WA for a work injury that is not yet resolved?

Asked by a user in Seattle, WA - over 3 years ago.

It would appear that you are too late, however without knowing more details I cannot give you a definative answer. My first question would be why did you wait until now to think of a lawsuit? I would also like to know when was the date you first discovered your injuries were the result of "negligence on WA State government property". Did you have another attorney working or looking into this case? What was the negligence? I know your situation is a difficult one and I would strongly...

Tenant's rights under WA state landlord tenant act, rent payment drop box was stolen, paid rent in cash can i sue the landlord

Asked by a user in Seattle, WA - almost 4 years ago.

UNFORTUNATLY YOU ARE IN A TOUGH POSITION SINCE CASH IS DIFFICULT TO TRACK. MY QUESTION IS TO WHETHER IN THE PAST YOU HAD PAID TH LANDLORD N THE MANNER DESCRIBED. IF YOU DID YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ESTABLISH A PATTERN AND PRACTICE OF PAYING THE RENT. THIS WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO PROVE, HOWEVER IF YOU COULD GET THE LANDLORD TO ADMIT THAT THEY ACTUALLY RECEIVED THE CASH YOU MAY HAVE A CHANCE TO SUPPORT YOUR CLAIM. IN ANY EVENT, FOR FUTURE RENTAL TRANSACTIONS MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS GET A RECEIPT OF PAY...

My brother is a permanent resident and was convicted of a felony (theft) what are his chances of not being deported?

Asked by a user in Seattle, WA - over 4 years ago.

The felony theft would appear to be a crime involving moral turpatude, thus require mandatory detention. Depending on what country he is from and whether he has fear of being killed or torturned in his home country may make him eligible for either deferal or witholding of removal from the United States. He could be held without bail however if his home country will not accept him back he may be eligible for a 90 day review and released on that basis. In any event you need a qualified...

Under what circumstances does a person have the right to refuse medical help

Asked by a user in Seattle, WA - over 3 years ago.

It is my understanding that you have no duty to accept treatment. However, if the physician believes that you are in an unstale state of mind this may not be the case this is if you were mentally incompetent to make decisions. Evan Oshan Law Offices of Evan M.

How can I get a copy of store security tape to support parking lot hit and run accident

Asked by a user in Bellingham, WA - over 3 years ago.

i WOULD CONSIDER FILING A LAWSUIT AND SUBPEONA THE TAPES. I WOULD ALSO BE INTERESTED IN KNOWING IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER TYPES OF ACCIDENTS/HIT AND RUNS. WERE THERE ANY SIGNS POSTED THAT SAID YOU WERE PARKING AT YOUR OWN RISK. ETC. ARE YOU SURE THAT SOMEONE HAD SMASHED INTO THE TRUCK. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED IN SOME OTHER MANNER? WERE THERE ANY WITNESSES? EVAN OSHAN LAW OFFICES OF EVAN M. OSHANDISCLAIMER Disclaimer to answers posted in internet newsgroups,...

Was rear ended. Car is total loss. Minor physical injuries. Rental car but only for 3 days.

Asked by a user in Seattle, WA - over 3 years ago.

ALL IS POSSIBLE. THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO DO IS PUT YOUR DEMAND IN WRITING, AND CONTACT THE INDIVIDUAL WHO REAR-ENDED YOU OR THERE INSURANCE COMPANY. ALSO IT WOULD NOT BE A BAD IDEA TO CONTACT YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY. I WOULD TAKE THE AGGRESSIVE APPROACH. SINCE YOU WERE REAR ENDED YOU DO NOT SEEM TO BE AT FAULT WHICH IS GOOD. THUS, YOU MAY BE IN THE DRIVER SEAT IN REGARDS TO THE RENTAL CAR ISSUE. THE MORE PRESSING ISSUE IS HOW ARE YOU DOING PHYSICALLY. IF YOU ARE HURT YOU...

WA state insurance and personal injury law, hit and run accident and filing a claim with our insurance company

Asked by a user in Seattle, WA - over 3 years ago.

I TEND TO TAKE AN AGGRESSIVE APPROACH TO MY CASES (ESPECIALLY OF THIS NATURE). I WOULD GET MY OWN PRIVATE INVESTIGATIOR ON THE CASE TO LOCATE THE HIT AND RUN DRIVER, IN FACT I WOULD DO INVESTIGATION OF MY OWN. FIRST, I WOULD REVIEW ALL REPORTS, CHECK FOR CAMERAS WHICH MAY BE IN THE AREA, LOOK FOR OTHER POTENTIAL WITNESSES. IN ADDITION, I WOULD ALSO WORK WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND PRESS THE LIABILITY ISSUE. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU IS CRIMINAL! IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THIS FURTHER...
