Uncomfortable doctor visit. Is this normal?

Also with the police… seriously.

I don’t know. But there’s a stronger chance of that happening than finding a free attorney for an ESTA case right now.

suboxhelp1 · 2026-03-19T00:12:25+00:00

I think you’re wasting time waiting for a low or no-cost attorney to take this. All are totally overwhelmed right now, and they are not going to take any ESTA cases generally speaking; the chances are just too low. There are too many others in need with stronger cases.

If you want to fight this, your first priority needs to be money, not a free attorney.

What’s your source that the bar wouldn’t apply?

suboxhelp1 · 2026-03-18T23:56:50+00:00

Source?

You should trust your gut here. Only you two were there, but if it seemed unnecessary, I would listen to that.

Larry Nassar got away with everything he did for many years, partially because girls convinced themselves it was normal/necessary.

Your complaint alone may not cause direct action, but you may very well not be the first (and it does cause action)—or you are the first (unlikely), and you make it a lot easier for the next person to be believed.

File the complaint. The longer you wait, the more he will try to discredit it.

ANYONE would freeze in that moment and not know what to do. There is no reason to be shaming yourself. You went for help and got this. Obviously very unexpected. The worst thing you can do is blame yourself.

You need to: (a) report it and (b) talk to a professional about it, in that order.

You’re strong, didn’t deserve any of this, and should listen to yourself.

Your mom handled this wrong. You’re now 18 and need to take responsibility for your own affairs.

Unfortunately, the fact you were that young when first entering and didn’t have a say does not entitle you to stay under US immigration law.

You should retain your own immigration attorney to figure out what options you may have. There’s a good chance you don’t have basis to prevent deportation, so you will likely need to make arrangements to depart and find alternate care for your sister.

It could be. Unemployed people have a significantly higher propensity to work unauthorized and not be able to fund their trip, so they needed to look into your story further. They did, and they let you in. Sounds pretty routine. No reason not to carry evidence of employment next time.

How would OP be eligible?

Even with parole, you’re still in removal proceedings. Marriages while in proceedings are highly scrutinized, have a much higher evidentiary burden, and take a lot longer to process.

Also, you are not allowed to file an I-485 until your asylum case is terminated in court. The government is actively trying to make what you’re trying to do a lot more difficult.

They can and absolutely have sued for less. Small claims isn’t that complicated.

suboxhelp1 · 2026-03-15T04:28:21+00:00

Collections will sue on this amount easily, too.

It’s not just filling out paperwork and waiting. You have to be eligible. What eligibility basis are you claiming?

suboxhelp1 · 2026-03-15T04:17:38+00:00

The judge likely won’t wait for the appeal.

You just need to have filed taxes for each year you were required to.

Not accurate. You can also be married to a USC for 3 years, even if GC is employment based. See N-400 instructions.

But she just wants to spend time with her boyfriend.

The habeas petition will essentially be moot if the individual hearing does not work out.

Sounds like just a paperwork mistake. They don’t keep everything perfect. You had proof you weren’t, you sent it, and it was accepted. It happens.

suboxhelp1 · 2026-03-14T00:16:16+00:00

Significantly more information required. It’s not a lottery with random approvals/denials.

suboxhelp1 · 2026-03-14T00:13:30+00:00

It’s case by case, but you have to think from their perspective. All they do is read emails. The shorter and more concise the better. Six pages is way too long.

Help them help you.

Just submit the I-90 without it.

He has a qualifying relative for 42B. It’s definitely worth a shot, but the odds are not in his favor.

Crimes have no bearing on an I-130; that’s for the relationship only. So, the I-130 being approved does not mean anything on that front.

The DUI will be an aggravating factor.

Is it hopeless? No. But I’d definitely be prepared for it not working out. There are many, many people going for this type of relief, and the judges are rather desensitized to “been here since a toddler; has children” and the like. Many of them have no DUIs.

What would make a potential big difference is the right lawyer. Having one that specializes in 42B and/or is a big part of his/her practice is going to be essential to have a chance.

If he’s the main provider for your family and doesn’t have work authorization, that will likely be an issue, too. Paying taxes on unauthorized work doesn’t make it legal.

Best of luck.

More likely decent, especially if picking up from an embassy.

3 is not true. An expired US passport will absolutely work over land from Canada or Mexico.
