Hi, everyone...I applied for LULAC/CSS case, had gone through interview on Sept 5, 2005, and a week ago, I got letter that my case was about to be denied since I didn't have enough evidence and certainly I can't provide more...however, I could appeal my case. Can someone help me about what I should write in I-694, Notice of Apeal of Decision??
Thank you so much in advance

Hi Brino06,

what evidence did you have during the interview?
how old were you when u came to united states before january 1st 1982?

I was just 5 years old..it was long time..my parents were turned down in 1987..and we all lost the original application..and I don't have any evidence at all..since I came to know about this LULAC about 1 year ago..and then just took a shot. Yeah..the officer who interviewed me didn't believe in my case at all...well, with or without status..I'll still be going home..right now I got a chance to appeal..wondering what I should do.

hi Brino06,

according to the court settlement u need ATLEAST affidavit and declarations from people who know you were present in united states. Also you need to explain why school records are missing. Did you have an attorney during the interview?

Hi brino06,
Can u be more exact,wht kind of letter did u get. Intent of denial or straight denial. As both situation have to be dealt accordingly. And wht does the letter say exactly. And to my understanding u applied for settlement benefits a year ago, did u apply for life act, pls. explain.

what you mean with or without status you will be going home? They will deport you even if your I-688 is Valid?

QUESTION#1:
WHEN A CSS/LULAC CASE HAVE BEEN DENIED DUE TO LACK OF EVIDENCES/ PROOF THAT YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE PROGRAM. ARE YOU GOING TO BE PLACED IN REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS?

QUESTION#2:
MY PREGNANT FRIEND DID NOT APPEAR FOR HER CSS/LULAC INTERVIEW BECAUSE HER LAWYER ADVISED THAT SHE IS ONLY GOING TO BE HARASSED BY DHS ADJ. OFCR AND MIGHT CAUSE HER EXTREME SHOCK AND IS BAD FOR HER HEALTH, SO INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE INTERVIEW, LAWYER SAID THAT THEY ARE GOING TO PROCESS IT BY MAIL MEANING ALL HER PROOF AND EVIDENCES WILL BE SUBMITTED IN BLACK IN WHITE. IS THIS POSSIBLE?

THANKS A LOT GUYS!

Hi L.A. Boy,

No, you won't be placed in deportation proceedings if you end up not getting approved unless fraud was committed.

On your friend's question:
Is you friend going with her attorney?
If so, then he/she should not allow the officer treat her without respect. If the officer turns out to be difficult, her attorney could ask to speak with his/her supervisor and that would put an end to that.

On my interview letter I received, it says that a interview is necessary in order to adjucate an I-687 application so I don't know if your friend's attorney knows about this or if he/she is familiar with css/lulac cases.

Best of luck.

MANY THANKS FREEDOM1!

ANY MORE ADVICE?

HAVE GREAT DAY!

Allright, this is the answers for all questions above..no, I don't have any attorney..I did it all myself. I received a letter of intent to deny I guess..since it says I have chance to appeeal within 30 days..otherwise the denied case will be final.
What I mean with with or without status is..I will be going back to my country whether my case is fully denied..or it is approved eventually.
Somebody told me that a friend of his didn't show up on interview..then within 2 weeks he received letter from immigration declaring that his case had been turned away.
I just want to let you all know that I am going to appeal..send $110 and write in the letter that I don't have anymore evidence to be presented..since the notice of appeal doesn't say anything about presenting additional eveidences...it will be up to the Director whether he will be in the mood to approve or deny my case. Hopefully he will be in the good mood sigh..

If she does not show up for the interview her application will be denied. She can ask for it to be rescheduled...but not showing up equates abandonemnent and she will get a denial.

Hey brino06, don't forget to include a copy of the css/settlement with your appeal.
Make sure you highlight paragraph 11, it says that an application can not be denied if the applicant only has affidavits as proof of illegal residence.

To Brino06,
Since u have mentioned the letter says intent to deny that means its not denied yet. U have 30 days to respond, u don't need to send any money of $110. at the moment. Try to get more affadavits, or write a letter and sent it with the copy of lulac settlement as mentioned by Freedom1. Send it registered mail. Then wait n see wht happens. I'll guess u'll be in the que waiting just like others until they fully decide wht they need to do w/these cases, altogether. Meanwhile, u'll be able to renew ur work permit n all. Good luck

This is very embarassing for me but here goes the story. I have two families who are relatives of mine and last December 2005 they traveled to Dallas, TX to see a so called INS retired employee who was helping out people with there LULAC/CSS apllications for a modest $6,000 telling them he had "inside" connections. All the information that was used on the appl. was false, they also used fabricated dates and affidavits and what have you, when in fact they only arrived in the US T THREE YEARS AGO. So far they have gone thru all the expected stages (biometrics, finger prints, etc.), in fact they already have their California Driver's License and SSN, temporary of course. Furthermore, they all have their interview set for October 23 & 24, 2006. I am in AWE and at the same time ashamed with their lies and fabrications, and I have the funny feeling they will succeed, as I was told by them that another one of the "so called ex-
INS retiree's" clients was approved last month in Dallas, TX.

My relatives & I are here in Northern California, they will have their interview in the Sacramento office.

Lawyers: Why is that? you only want the money but at the time of interview the legal advise you get is don't show up!!! Why did you get the money at first place? Are you willing to give the money back?. Don't take the cases if you don't see a good case. Govern yourselves accordingly!!!
