   The proper way to have done this is to have asked for a copy of your fayher's immigration file from border patrol and a background check from the FBI.

   Answered January 18, 2013 09:43. I agree with Ms. Tunitsky. The interview is in 2 weeks and you should speak with an attorney sooner rather than later.

   This is not legal advice and a client attorney relationship is not created. For a free consultation call (718)234-5588.
