Hey JK, he said the word misdemeanor, so I didn't think too much beyond that. Normally, a misdemeanor does not equate to deportation. But, I guess his situation is not finalized. That's why I suggested he speak to a lawyer.

Yeah an Attorney would be a good idea, if HE IS found guilty of fraud though he has a REAL problem..

Yes, JK, I agree. It doesn't sound like he received any compensation, but the intent was there - that could be the kicker. I wish him well just the same. There are worse situations out there and I think he was just scared and made some bad decisions.

Hmm intent is usually enough to prove a fraud case, hopefully he will be fine...

That's my thought too, JK. I think he made an irrational decision based on his status here. I wonder if things would have been different had he been a USC in the same situation? I don't like when immigrants feel like they have to walk on eggshells while earning their permanent status here. Mind you, I'm totally against criminal acts by anyone, regardless of status, but it seems this guy made a simple err of judgement and could end up paying for it dearly.

What can I say, JK? I love everyone until they give me a reason not to. LOL! A true humanitarian.
