This web site is provided as a public service and not intended to establish an attorney client relationship. Any reliance on information contained herein is taken at your own risk. I made an attempt to provide somewhat accurate information as of the time of this writing, but the situation may well have changed by the time you read this. I am not a lawyer. I have no legal training. Please, if in doubt, be sure to use the services of a professional lawyer whom you trust. Keep in mind that there are no guarantees in immigration law. Most decisions are discretionary in nature, and even a competent immigration lawyer cannot guarantee success.
If you have further questions, please consider posting them in the newsgroup alt.visa.us, where there are a number of helpful individuals. I discourage emailing me directly. If you still want to email me your question, please send them through the Contact page. Don't expect an immediate answer, and I reserve the right to ignore your mail completely, too!
