- Q. I was at Walmart with another person who apparently stole something. Now they want me in there store to question and won
- A: It would be in your best interest to consult a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible if you haven't already. Based on the limited facts given, it is difficult to say whether the police want to simply question you as a witness or potentially charge you as a party to a crime. A criminal defense attorney would be able to analyze your individual situation, protect your rights, and advise you on how to proceed.
- Q. I BECAME A US CITIZEN 7/01/2014 IN MY WIFE BEEN PERMANENT RESIDENT SINCE 9/01/2011 CAN SHE FILE FOR US CITIZEN YET
- A: Under 319(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, a spouse of a U.S. citizen may apply for naturalization after being a green card holder for three years provided, among other things, the U.S. citizen spouse has been a U.S. citizen during the entire three-year period. Based on that language, she will have to wait.
