Some advice please
EM, I've used the following twice and only because it is true. When asking for a deferment I stated that, "I pay child support for three children. After paying support I have a net balance of 268.00 every two weeks. I cannot afford the loss of time to miss additional work during the week." I used this in US district and in NYS court. Now obviously this wouldn't work for you, but something similar may work.
Since were on this subject, I have a dilemma. (sorry EM to take away from your business) A good friend of mine has a son here from Korea. She was a long time provider who actually took care of me when I was down going through my divorce. She has her green card and is now in the process of becoming a citizen.
He has been here for 10 years. He entered legally, but his Visa expired and has been illegal for about four years. He finished two years of college. He has a license and SS card and a good job. He can't go back to start the process for it would take too long and he would loose a lot. He just received his third Queens County jury notice "failure to respond" to his old address. Since I see registration for jury duty is now taken from DMV rolls he may loose his license.
The first two questions on the questionnaire are, "are you a US citizen", "if not provide proof of visa, passport, work card or alien registration. He is a good kid and I feel the need to help him and his mother. Some advice here would be very greatful. Thanks - Dell
