Domestic Battery Probation and Deportation: Hi I am on a non immigrant visa. I have been charged with 403(e), domestic battery in CA/Santa Clara County. Its a bystander compalint. My question is related to immigration. If I don't contest this and get a sentence for probation (which I understand could be two years) 1) Will I be deported 2) I have only 1 year left on my visa, how can I complete my probation 3) My visa is valid only till my company keeps me employed, on this charge they may fire me and therefore I will become ineligible to be on visa here. In such cases how is probation handled. 4. How does deportation for someone on probation work? Do they ask you to leave or deport you immediately? Do I have to fear going to jail during deportation? I want to leave US if legally possible

Can a deported immigrant still become legal???: My boyfriend and I have been planning to get married. He was deported in May of 09 but the jugde never signed off for how lmuch time he had to be out of the U.S. Is there any way when we get married that he can become a legal resident in the U.S?
Stanley's answer: The short answer is that it "depends." Why was your boyfriend ordered removed? Are you a US citizen? If so, then you can file an immigrant visa petition on his behalf, after being lawfully married. This is the first step. Then next step would be to have the visa issued to him. Because he is out of the country, he must go through consular processing and have the visa issued at the foreign consulate in his home country. Furthermore, because he was ordered deported, he will be subject to most likely a ten-year or more bar to admission. Did he take voluntary departure? Was he a criminal alien? Did he enter the US without inspection? Did he overstay a visa? All of the questions matter. You should consult with an immigration attorney before you marry or file any visa petitions to find out what hurtles you will be facing.

is the mobilehome park liable for my medical bills: i own my mobilehome but pay rent for the space i fell off the back porch into the driveway and broke my shoulder in 4 places can i sue the park for my bills
Stanley's answer: You are always free to file a lawsuit, but your chances of prevailing on the facts as you state them are slim to none. As the previous response correctly stated, the only way your can find the property owner liable under a premises liability theory is if there was some known or reasonably foreseeable hazard that caused your fall and injury. If you fell off or "your back porch" this is not within the control of the property owner and they cannot be held liable.
