Immigration Law Question?
Hello all,
I was recently contacted by a good friend who happens to be working in the US as an illegal immigrant. His company has decided to help him get papers and referred him a lawyer in Los Angeles. After making payments for 8 months he contacted the lawyer to find out what the status of his case was and she said she doesn’t have anything new, doesn’t have time to talk, and she’ll call when she has more information.
My friend advised me that there are as many as 80+ people who in the 8 months she’s taken money from and provided no status.
My questions are:
1. Is there a way to check the status of papers?
2. What are the kinds of questions I can ask her to find more information?
Does he have any options? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Joon
If he is an illegal immigrant one option is to move back to the country he came from. The word illegal means that a law has been broken. Another option is that he can turn himself into the INS. I understand you wanting to help your friend, but I don’t understand what would make you think the rest of us would want to ingage in illegal activity.
