On July 11, 2019, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky) introduced the BELIEVE Act (S. 2091) as a way to reform legal immigration to the United States. The Believe Act would abolish per-country quotas for employment-based immigration similar to H.R. 1044 which was passed by the House of Representatives on July 10, but would not result in a 7+ year wait in the Worldwide EB-3 category.
For the past few years, professionals born in India have been subject to decades-long waits to get green cards. This is because U.S. immigration laws unwisely impose a 7% per-country cap on the number of persons born in a particular country who can qualify for green cards under the employment-based and the family-based categories. However, since the H-1B and other temporary worker categories have no per-country limits, the number of professionals born in India with temporary work visas numbers is in the hundreds of thousands.
Renter/Landlord Disagreement
I have been renting a house for about 8 months now. When I moved in, I agreed to paint the dining room rather than pay a deposit. There was no set finish date, and no compensation agreed upon if not completed. My landlord decided that since it was not done yet, she would hire someone to come in and paint and I would need to foot the bill. My questions are: since there was no set date or dollar amount, am I liable for this cost, and since this would be considered my deposit money, would I be entitled to be repaid when I move out? Thanks!
Husband controls the finances
My husband has moved in with another woman and I want a divorce. He has always controlled the money (I am a stay at home Mom) and I have no funds to hire a lawyer. What are my options?
support for a grown child
My son is now 28. His father and I got divorced in Texas when he was one. It was set up for him to pay me $150 per month child support. I never received the first payment. I raised my son in FL. Can I still go after my ex for all the back child support he owes me?
Loan vs. Gift
I loaned my girlfriend $5,000.00 over a 90 day period. Thirty days after the last wire transfer she broke up with me. She claims I gave her the money. I want it repaid because it was a loan due to her financial hardships. What is my chance of collecting it?
