Hello Pasha Patel. I just read one of your advices for somebody else and I decided to ask you for an advice if you would not mind. It seems that for the info that you give you have knowledge and you also show respect. I would like to thank you in advance if you would reply or not to this message. Hope to hear from you. My situation is this: I was denied asylum, and I appealed for it. My case was pending in appeal. In the same time I have been married for almost 2 years now WITH A US CITIZEN and we were approved from the INS on September 1st, 2004. I JUST GOT A RESPONSE FROM THE BIA 6 days ago. IT IS A "NO" FOR MY APPEAL AND IT SAYS THAT I HAVE 30 DAYS TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY We have a lawyer, and he was going to send our file to the BIA, so the case could be send back to the Judge, for adjustment of status. It has been months now and our lawyer has not sent the case yet. Since we paid him he does not return our calls, or emails, even when he does he says that he is going to send it. We had an appointment with him with his request after my appeal decision and he was not there. EVEN today we don't know if he has sent that yet. WE WAITED THIS LONG BECAUSE HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO SEND IT THIS DAY, OR THAT DAY. WE NEED EVERY POSSIBLE HELP THAT WE CAN GET TO DEAL WITH THIS SITUATION AND ALSO LATER WITH THIS LAWYER. WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
