Try to close the Charge sheet from the local Police and get a clearance or No Objection certificates from the Police.\n\nThen, it will be easy to get the Green Card.

Your husband has a good chance of going for a night or two and maybe having a hefty fine too.  It doesn't matter that your husband was hit with a rock first, it is still assault because self defense can not be claimed if you retaliate with more force than is necessary to defend yourself.  Your neighbor will face legal action too though.  If you and your neighbor mutually agree to drop charges then you will both walk away with no action, but chances are that he won't drop charges if you and your husband are wishing to press charges against him... it is a sad fact of how our legal system works.  I can honestly say I would have done the same thing in your husband's shoes, but I'm sorry to bring you this unfortunate reality.

You may have grounds for an appeal based on disclosuer laws.  All evidence must be made available to the jury/judge.  Your husband will have to change his plea to "not guilty" and demand a trial. At this point the judge will determine if their is prosecutorial misconduct.  Good Luck

Sure its possible...dwi's arent felonies...well in the state I live in anyways...Tell him to go to the sheriff's office in the town he lives in and apply...They will check to see if hes eligible to have a gun permit at all...If he is he will have to pay around $90 for a consealed weapons permit and possibly take a class. Hope this helps!?

i dont think its your problem man. i know he's your kid and you're concerned for him, but if he's 30 and cant get his crap straight, i dont know what you can really do for him. he's going to need to be willing to start at the bottom. like, rock bottom, working at wendy's or something. but, thats better than going back to jail.

If you know where he is it will help, but even if you don't, if you are a wife, (common-law or otherwise) or a relative you can talk to your local police office, explain your concerns, and ask them to do a criminal check on him. This will tell you what the charges are. In my part of the world, a woman can ask police to run a criminal check on her boyfriend or significant other before introducing him to her family (or even afterwards if concerns arise). Smart women are following through on this more and more often, these days.

that would be? 10 years ago is not counted with this new offense unless you were extreme DUI or injured someone. That is a pretty high reading. You go to jail in most states at .08. thank the cop for giving you a break and citing and releasing you. the other drunks may have puked on you.

Looks like trouble, my high school coach went on a fishing trip to Canada with a group on a bus and one of the guys had a record and they got stuck at the border until they got it straightened out. I believe you are persona non-gratis (stay out)...Sorry, better here than the border, but check with the Canadian Consulate, maybe you can get a wavier if your crime wasn't that bad. Good luck, you can fly or boat to Alaska too, avoiding Canada.

He will have to go back since he entered illegally but since he has been caught by immigration he may have to stay there for up to 10 years because there is a 10 year bar rule but you really may want to consider getting an attorney if you guys are serious about trying to fix his papers. But all illegal immigrants have to return to their country in order to fix papers if they entered illegally.

Its a Felony... Some states vary

It depends on the prosecution, the family's intentions to file charges, the states. I would say the minimum would be manslaughter and maximum murder. Does he have prior alcohol related accidents or fines-that will be a big factor in his history, or any other driving or drug offenses. I'm sorry for both your families.

you dont, unless you can bargain real well with a lawyer, other than that i suggest stop drinking, or stop driving after you've been drinking...as far as i know a 3rd offense is a felony and felonies are punishable with a minimum of 1 year in prison

his idea is nothing short of abuse.  \n\nIf you are in the US, get to the courhouse and file for temporary support and visitation schedules.  \n\nWith a guy like this, you also ned to get an attorney asap.

While in basic training, there are only three general types of discharges he can even be considered for: Punitive (misbehavior), medical, and what are known as Chapter 11 or Entry Level Performance and Conduct (called chapter 11 because it is the guiding regulation AR 635-200, Chapter 11). A punitive discharge he DOES NOT WANT. They usually come officially characterized as Other Than Honorable or Bad Conduct discharges (these are very bad) and those will haunt him on every job application or back ground check he has to process. Medical is possible and are normally officially declared as General or Honorable (these are very good). The drawback there is first he would have to get hurt real bad (don't want that), and 2nd it seems to take forever to actually get a soldier through this process - he won't be home for a long long time while he waits and the medical community evaluates and tests him. The Chapter 11 can only be applied for under 4 specific grounds: inability, lack of reasonable effort, failure to adapt to the military environment, and minor disciplinary infractions. A Chapter 11 is almost always characterized as a General discharge (not good, but not bad either), so it has no severe long term damage. The biggest blow will be a nearly complete loss of all veterans benefits. HOWEVER, it is critical to know that whichever discharge he applies for, the situation involving him is BONA FIDE (real and not made-up). The Army will investigate and his chain of command will be required to write formal memorandums attesting to the facts. Your husband will more than likely also be required to complete a formal Sworn Statement attesting to whatever issue is prohibiting him from service. If he has no ACTUAL issues, and it is proven, he can be prosecuted. On the other hand, if he truly is unable to adapt or incapable of performing the tasks directed, then a discharge based on AR 635-200, Chapter 11 (I copied a link to this regulation below) is what he needs to file. I am going to be brutally honest here, based on the information you provided, were I his Commanding Officer, I do not believe that he has a legitimate discharge application. So for your sake, I am hoping there is information you have not spoken about that does apply to the regulation. I wish you and yours the best - take this decision VERY seriously - its implication has more than just legal issues: how will your friends react? Your Family? The community? Your Church? Think all that through before acting - just a suggestion.

being a misdemeanor, no. if he's committing a crime, yes, but not for residing illegaly in this country.\nIf residing illegally were a felony, then the answer would probably be yes.
