OPEN LETTER: FROM THE PUBLISHER OF U.S. IMMIGRATION NEWS

Exactly three years ago, I was sent on an assignment bigger and larger than myself; TO MAKE A DIF-

FERENCE. The New Hampshire State Motto reads; “Live FREE or DIE”. American Legend, Patrick Henry once said “Give me LIBERTY or Give me Death!”To make a difference is what everyone on the planet Earth must live for. A life lived without touch-ing others is a wasted life. We touch and impact others daily by the little act of kindness we render. Making a Difference is what the story of my life is all about. In the last 15 years as an Immigration At-torney, if my estimate is right, my office, the Law Office of Joseph Famuy-ide, would have succeeded in obtaining over 5,000 green cards for immigrants in the United States. I thought that was it, getting green cards for people, until I got another call to MAKE A DIFFERENCE in another way outside my comfort zone. My name is Attorney/Rev. Joseph Famuyide. In addition to being an im-migration Attorney, I am the Pastor of the Citadel of God Almighty in Bronx New York. I NEED YOUR HELP. God gave me an assignment to impact life in New York City. In my first year on this noble assignment, through the help of Food Bank New York City and Feed the Children Oklahoma, our Hunger Relief Program fed 19,000 people in the Bronx.

Miraculously, in 2009 we bought a ware-house at 442 E. 183rd St in the Bronx to cater for the spiritual and physical needs of the people in New York City particu-larly Bronx. We need $1.5million to complete the construction work. We started construc-tion in October 2010. The construc-

tion is ongoing. The building will house our Church sanc-tuary and our ten points charitable programs namely; Hunger Relief, Free Immigrant Assis-tance, Fitness Center, Youth Empowerment Center, Day’s Rehab Center, Day Care for

the Needy Fami-lies, Green Project for Older Adults,

etc.Join me to MAKE A DIFFERENCE; I am on a mission to raise $1.5million to complete the project. The names of all donors will be inscribed in gold at the entrance of the building. It is a not-for-profit church venture. It is not about me. It is about making a DIFFERENCE. I am just the VESSEL. Who says your voice cannot count. DONATE TODAY!! Any amount by mail or using your credit/debit card on our website at www.co-gacathedral.com. Mail Tax Deductible Donation to: Christ Apostolic Church Wosem, COGA Cathedral, 811 Trinity Avenue, Bronx, NY 10456. God bless you as you heed this call.

Visa Bulletin For May 2011A. STATUTORY NUMBERS

1. This bulletin summarizes the availability of im-migrant numbers during May. Consular officers are required to report to the Department of State documen-tarily qualified applicants for numerically limited visas; the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Department of Homeland Security reports appli-cants for adjustment of status. Allocations were made, to the extent possible under the numerical limitations, for the demand received by April 8th in the chronologi-cal order of the reported priority dates. If the demand could not be satisfied within the statutory or regulatory limits, the category or foreign state in which demand was excessive was deemed oversubscribed. The cut-off date for an oversubscribed category is the priority date of the first applicant who could not be reached within the numerical limits. Only applicants who have a pri-ority date earlier than the cut-off date may be allot-

ted a number. Immediately that it becomes necessary during the monthly allocation process to retrogress a cut-off date, supplemental requests for numbers will be honored only if the priority date falls within the new cut-off date which has been announced in this bulletin. 2. Section 201 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) sets an annual minimum family-sponsored preference limit of 226,000. The worldwide level for annual employment-based preference immigrants is at least 140,000. Section 202 prescribes that the per-country limit for preference immigrants is set at 7% of the total annual family-sponsored and employment-based preference limits, i.e., 25,620. The dependent area limit is set at 2%, or 7,320. 3. INA Section 203(e) provides that family-sponsored and employment-based preference visas be issued to eligible immigrants in the order in which a peti-

tion in behalf of each has been filed. Section 203(d) provides that spouses and children of preference im-migrants are entitled to the same status, and the same order of consideration, if accompanying or following to join the principal. The visa prorating provisions of Section 202(e) apply to allocations for a foreign state or dependent area when visa demand exceeds the per-country limit. These provisions apply at present to the following oversubscribed chargeability areas: CHINA-mainland born, INDIA, MEXICO, and PHILIPPINES. 4. Section 203 of the INA prescribes preference classes for allotment of immigrant visas as follows:

Hillary Clinton U.S. Secretary of State

Family-Sponsored Preference Employment-Based Preference

First: (F1) Unmarried Sons and Daughters of Citizens: 23,400 plus any numbers not required for fourth preference.

Second: Spouses and Children, and Un-married Sons and Daughters of Perma-nent Residents: 114,200, plus the number (if any) by which the worldwide family preference level exceeds 226,000, and any unused first preference numbers: A. (F2A) Spouses and Children: 77% of the overall second preference limitation,

of which 75% are exempt from the per-country limit; B. (F2B) Unmarried Sons and Daughters (21 years of age or older): 23% of the overall second preference limitation. Third: (F3) Married Sons and Daughters of Citizens: 23,400, plus any numbers not re-quired by first and second preferences. Fourth: (F4) Brothers and Sisters of Adult Citizens: 65,000, plus any numbers not re-quired by first three preferences.

Diversity Immigrant (DV) Category

Section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides a maximum of up to 55,000 immigrant visas each fiscal year to permit immigration opportunities for persons from countries other than the principal sources of current immigration to the United States. The Nicaraguan and Central American Relief Act (NACARA) passed by Congress in November 1997 stipulates that beginning with DV-99, and for as long as necessary, up to 5,000 of the 55,000 annually-allocated diversity visas will be made available for use under the NACARA program. This reduction has resulted in the DV-2011 annual limit

being reduced to 50,000. DV visas are divided among six geographic regions. No one country can receive more than seven percent of the available diversity visas in any one year.

For May, immigrant numbers in the DV category are available to qualified DV-2011 applicants chargeable to all regions/eli-gible countries as follows. When an allo-cation cut-off number is shown, visas are available only for applicants with DV re-gional lottery rank numbers BELOW the specified allocation cut-off number:

First: Priority Workers: 28.6% of the world-wide employment-based preference level, plus any numbers not required for fourth and fifth preferences.

Second: Members of the Professions Holding Advanced Degrees or Persons of Exceptional Ability: 28.6% of the world-wide employment-based preference level, plus any numbers not required by first pref-erence.

Third: Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Other Workers: 28.6% of the worldwide level, plus any numbers not

required by first and second preferences, not more than 10,000 of which to “*Other Workers”.

Fourth: Certain Special Immigrants: 7.1% of the worldwide level.

Fifth: Employment Creation: 7.1% of the worldwide level, not less than 3,000 of which reserved for in-vestors in a targeted rural or high-unem-ployment area, and 3,000 set aside for investors in regional centers by Sec. 610 of P.L. 102-395.

5. On the charts below, the listing of a date for

any class indicates that the class is oversub-scribed (see paragraph 1); “C” means current, i.e., numbers are avail-able for all qualified applicants; and “U” means unavailable, i.e., no numbers are available. (NOTE: Numbers are available only for applicants whose priority date is earlier than the cut-off date listed below.)

*NOTE: For May, F2A numbers EXEMPT from per-country limit are available to applicants from all countries with priority dates earlier than 01JAN07. F2A numbers SUBJECT to per-country limit are available to applicants chargeable to all countries EXCEPT MEXICO with priority dates beginning 01JAN07 and earlier than 08JUN07. (All F2A numbers provided for MEXICO are exempt from the per-country limit; there are no F2A numbers for MEXICO subject to per-country limit.)

Number 32 Volume IX Washington, D.C.

*Employment Third Preference Other Workers Category: Section 203(e) of the NA-CARA, as amended by Section 1(e) of Pub. L. 105-139, provides that once the Em-ployment Third Preference Other Worker (EW) cut-off date has reached the priority date of the latest EW petition approved prior to November 19, 1997, the 10,000 EW numbers available for a fiscal year are to be reduced by up to 5,000 annually begin-ning in the following fiscal year. This reduction is to be made for as long as neces-sary to offset adjustments under the NACARA program. Since the EW cut-off date reached November 19, 1997 during Fiscal Year 2001, the reduction in the EW annual


It happened again in the middle of April, 2011; Attor-ney Famuyide won another “cold case” in New Jersey to the delight of another ju-bilating client who almost gave up hope of becoming a U.S. citizen. It was a rescue mission made special with all strategic ma-neuvering to guaran-tee success. This frus-trated immigrant was approved and sworn-in the same day of the interview to seal the victory for good. What a dream come true.

The story of this immi-grant started in Mary-land with is family. The matter was about 10years old when At-torney Famuyide was retained to the rescue. They were past frus-trating failures at previous attempts to become citizen of the United States of America.

The case was riddled with past errors, do-mestic violence issue, arrests and dealings with the criminal justice system. There was Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issues and child support

issues connected to the matter. It was myriad of problems that seem irresolv-able. One by one, Attorney Famuy-ide took on these issues, solved them one by one and took this im-migrant to the finish line of natu-ralization. One major problem with this

immigrant’s case was whether or not he was a person of good moral character. Any case with good moral character issue is usually handled with care by the Immigra-tion Service Officers adjudicating natural-ization cases. Such a matter is usually re-ferred to the Supervi-sors for the final deci-sion.Any issue relating to previous crimi-nal convictions, past due child support payment, past due IRS tax payment, do-mestic violence, gam-bling, drunk driving to name a few could trigger lack of good moral character that could result in the denial of naturaliza-tion application. The case of this immigrant has all these opened issues relating to good moral character. The previous denials were as a result of these issues, but Attorney Famuyide cleared the problems and within a span of two years this immigrant was sworn-in as a U.S. citizen. A finding of good moral character is precluded as a matter of law if, within the

statutory period re-quired for establish-ing good moral char-acter, the applicant falls within any of the several categories set forth in INA § 101(f)(1)-(8), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f)(1)-(8) (1994). The statutory period is within 5years before the filing of the appli-cation for naturaliza-tion. These legally dis-qualifying catego-ries include, among others, being an habit-ual drunkard; deriving one’s income prin-cipally from illegal gambling; having two or more gam-bling convictions; and having been confined, as a result of a convic-tion, to a penal institu-tion within the statu-tory period for 180 days or more or being “one who at any time has been convicted of an aggravated felony,” INA § 101(f)(8), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f)(8), or having other crimi-nal convictions or of-fenses detailed by the statute, INA § 101(f)

(3), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f)(3), or “one who has given false testimony for the purpose of ob-taining any benefits under this Act,” INA § 101(f)(6), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f)(6). While a person con-victed of aggravated felony is statutorily barred from natu-ralization. A person convicted of crimes involving moral tur-pitude is regarded through case-laws as lacking good moral character. Such in-dividual pursuant to Section 316(3) INA must maintain good moral character for a period of 5years im-mediately preceding the filing of the appli-cation for naturaliza-tion before such could merit any consider-ation for naturaliza-tion.

A crime involv-ing moral turpitude is generally defined through case-laws as that which involves acts that are inherent-ly evil or wrong by so-

ciety’s standard. Acts which are regulated by the society are not acts which involve moral turpitude. In the Matter of L-V-C, 22 I&N Dec. 594 (BIA 1999), the Board of Immigration Appeals held that moral turpi-tude refers generally to conduct that is in-herently base, vile, or depraved, and con-trary to the accepted rules of morality and duties owed between persons or to society in general. See also; Matter of Trans, 21 I & N Dec. 291 (BIA 1996). The determi-nation is therefore not made by the severity of the offense or the length of the impris-onment imposed. See; Matter of Serna 20 I&N Dec. 579, 581 (BIA 1992).

By law, any domestic violence conviction will trigger lack of good moral charac-ter. The immigrant in this case was not con-victed per se. He went through alternative

program to convic-tion. Attorney Famuy-ide was brought to the case at a point when one the previous ap-plication was just denied. Another client referred this immi-grant to seek Attorney Famuyide’s assistance to appeal the denial.

Having evaluated the case, Attorney Famuy-ide recommended that appealing the case will fail; instead, he recommended starting the process all over again with strategies put in place to solve all possible problems before the interview. One by one, Attorney Famuyide started to work with the client to solve each problem with the case.

At last the interview date came, Attorney Famuyide evaluated the client’s readiness again and determined that a month post-ponement will help the client close the re-maining loopholes in the case. Fortunately,

Attorney Famuyide had an engagement in Washington, DC area for that day, so a letter was sent seeking post-ponement to another day. The case was postponed for about a month.

On the interview date, everything was ready. The interview took about 25minutes and the case was approved to the delight of another happy client. He was sworn-in the same day. Now this client could move on with his life having put behind him the hurdle of naturalization. For immigrants with criminal conviction, please note that as a matter of law, no appli-cant is “of good moral character” if he or she has been convicted of, or has admitting to committing, certain other offenses within 5years. INA § 101(f)

(3), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f)(3). It is trite law that the USCIS examiners have some degree of discretion in determin-ing whether an appli-cant has satisfied the statutory requisites. For example, an exam-iner may take account of adverse conduct that is outside the statu-tory period for which good moral character is required to be es-tablished. See INA § 101(f) (last sentence), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f), and INA § 316(e), 8 U.S.C. § 1427(e). Although the prior misconduct may justify the exam-iner in denying natu-ralization, the law does not require such a de-termination. Thus, an examiner could con-clude, based on the to-tality of the facts, that an applicant with such a record had demon-strated “good moral character” and was

eligible for naturaliza-tion.An applicant who has shown reformation and displayed favorable disposition towards the good order and hap-piness of the United States as stipulated in the Constitution should be adjudged a person of good moral character. The case laws support this conclusion. In the agelong precedent setting case of Yuen Jung v. Barber 184 F. 2d. 491 (9th Cir. 1950), the 9th Circuit, Court of Appeals held;“We think the lan-guage of Sec. 724 . . . compels a conclusion that it was the intent of Congress to test the applicant’s fitness solely by his moral character, (and other required attitudes) during the period of continuous military service mentioned in the Act [three years].

We think so, because we believe a like rule must obtain in the ordinary naturaliza-tion proceeding where the five year period is significant. To hold otherwise would sanc-tion a denial of citi-zenship where the ap-plicant’s misconduct, and evident bad moral character, was many years in the past, and where a former bad record has been fol-lowed by many years of exemplary conduct with every evidence of reformation and subse-quent good moral char-acter. Such a conclu-sion would require a holding that Congress had enacted a legisla-tive doctrine of pre-destination and eternal damnation. All modern legislation dealing with crime and punish-ment proceeds upon the theory that aside from capital cases, no man is beyond re-

demption. We think a like principle underlies these provisions for naturalization. This does not mean that the court may not inquire into the peti-tioner’s character in prior periods. For such evidence is circum-stantially relevant as bearing upon petition-er’s character during the five year period, or in a case like this, during the period of military service. But the ultimate fact to be determined, and the only material one, is his moral character within the specified period.” See also: San-tamaria-Ames V. INS 104 F. 3d. 1127, 1130, (9th Cir. December 31, 1996). All of the recently de-termined cases have followed the same reasoning of the Yuen Court, therefore, ar-gument could still be presented in favor of

a naturalization appli-cant with prior crimi-nal record. If you have prior criminal conviction, your case is not totally hopeless, it might take years but you could still become a U.S. citizen depending on the nature of the case.

contd from pg 4


On April 19, 2011, President Barack Obama called a meeting of about 60 people from across the United States to discuss the need for a Comprehensive Im-migration Reform as he announced his bid for a 2nd term ahead of the general election in 2012. This White House meeting is yet another pitch by the President at Compre-hensive Immigration Reform.

All immigrants would like the President to clarify if this new pitch for immigration reform is for real or just an election season ruse? For the past two and half years of President Obama’s presidency, immi-gration reform has been all talk and no action. Even the much favored Dream Act did not pass in Con-gress under President Obama’s watch. It is apparent that enough energy has not been devoted to selling the Comprehensive Im-migration Reform to the American popu-lace. It has been one sound bit or one meeting or the other and the issue is aban-doned again until im-migrants are needed for another election. Maybe we should all vote for Republicans and see what happens. After all, President Reagan was a Repub-lican and he passed the Amnesty bill. At least, the Republicans seem to mean what they say and say what they mean, unlike these soft-soaping Democrats.

For example, some-time in 2009, an intern in our office, Vivienne McLean, confronted Senator Chuck Schumer at an event held in New York City about the likelihood of the much-awaited Com-prehensive Immigra-tion Reform bill be-coming law that year. The senior Senator from New York re-sponded, “Quote me; there will be Com-prehensive Immigra-tion Reform this year 2009.” We are now in 2011, where is Senator Schumer on this issue. He was reelected last year, so he won’t need our vote for another 6years. He is no longer in the forefront of the talk about im-migration reform.

President Obama himself during the Presidential election campaign gave a time-line for the passage of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform. On September 10, 2008, President Obama said to im-migrants, “This elec-tion is about the 12 million people living in the shadows, the communities taking immigration enforce-ment into their own hand. They are count-ing on us to stop the hateful rhetoric filling our airwaves, and rise above the fear, and rise above the dema-goguery, and finally enact comprehensive immigration reform.” We are now in 2011. It has been promises and no action since then. He fought for Health Care law, forced it

down the throat of many who opposed it. He fought for gay rights, where is the fight for immigration?

During the last elec-tion in 2010, Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Senate President was in trouble. He was on the verge of losing the election. He called on immigrants to the rescue with promises again that at least the Dream Act will be passed. He presented the bill without any ground work. The Dream Act failed again. Senator Reid was able to keep his job, and like Senator Schumer, he does not need us for another 6years. They are all sweet talking politi-cians.

The last Compre-hensive Immigration Reform bill present-ed under President Obama’s watch was called “Save America Comprehensive Immi-gration Act of 2009.” The part of the defunct bill that could have

helped the estimated 12million illegal im-migrants in the United States had the follow-ing provisions called Title V – Legalization For Long-Term Resi-dents. This section could have provided a pathway to adjust-ment of status for an alien lawfully admit-ted for permanent resi-dence for one who had resided in the United States for a period not less than 5years from the date of the passage of the bill. Any future Comprehensive Im-migration Reform bill will probably contain similar provisions.

Section 501 (a) of the defunct Save America Comprehensive Im-migration Act of 2009 provided that “The Secretary of Home-land Security may adjust the status of an alien to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence if the alien—(1) was physically present in the United States for a continuous period of not less than

5 years immediately preceding the date on which this provision was enacted and has maintained continu-ous physical presence since then;(2) has at all times been a person of good moral character;(3) has never been convicted of a crimi-nal offense in the United States;(4) in the case of an alien who is 18 years of age or older, but who is not over the age of 65, has successfully completed a course on reading, writing, and speaking words in ordinary usage in the English language, unless unable to do so on account of physical or developmental dis-ability or mental im-pairment.(5) in the case of an alien 18 years of age or older, has accepted the values and cul-tural life of the United States; and(6) in the case of an alien 18 years of age or older, has per-formed at least 40 hours of community

service.”

Please note that the above provision is not law, any future law might look like it. Another election is coming up in 2012, the President and the politicians will need us again, let us make them work for us by letting them know now that without the passage of the Com-prehensive Immigra-tion Reform we will not vote for them.

Let us all be proac-tive and make a call today. Write a letter to the White House, The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washing-ton, DC 20500. Tell the President to fight for immigrants. Call the Senate President, Sen. Harry Reid at 202-224- 3542, and Senator Schumer at 202-224-6542

Two weeks ago, I was at the Federal Plaza, New York, NY for a removal proceedings action before one of the many good im-migration Judges in New York. At the end of the hearing, my client was shocked to hear the Judge post-pone the case to No-vember 2013 for final hearing.

Due to the chronic congestion in New York courts since the clamp down on immi-grants by the Obama administration to satisfy Republicans’ call for tightening the noose on illegal immigration to the

United States, more and more immigrants are being sent to Im-migration Courts on a daily basis for removal proceedings. Many of these immi-grants end up being deported why some of them get rescued through applica-tion for relief and the kindness of some of the fair-minded Judges.

Majority of these im-migrants facing these long adjournments will not be eligible for employment autho-rization card during their long wait. Some of them will have to survive working off

Many immigrants currently in removal proceeding could do something to get employment autho-rization card during the pendency of their case. This card will enable the immigrant to work and

obtain driver’s license to drive in the U.S.

“I don’t like the way you talk sometimes.” Tammy told her husband. “You take everything so lightly. You talk as if it doesn’t matter, as if my con-cerns are baseless, as if I don’t know what I’m talking about, as if -”

“Hey, hold it!” Richard said. “I haven’t said that -”

She continued, “I was waiting for you to come home, to tell you my heart’s con-cerns, and the only thing you could say is – ‘Anyone who wants to talk about us should get in line, give me the TV control!’ Is the TV more important than what I’m discussing?”

“This issue concerns me as well -” He began.

“Sometimes I doubt it.”

“Well, you’d better believe it.” He told her firmly. “The fact that it’s not written on my face does not mean I’m not concerned, I am obviously, more

than you know. Do you know how I feel as a man when I have to go to the hospital for tests and treatments? It’s degrading. I feel humiliated; I feel ha-rassed and … invaded. My private life is no longer private which I don’t find funny in any way.” He paused.

Then, shaking his head, he added, “And … do you know that the woman’s com-ments in the morning were directed at me, not you? I am the as-sociate pastor she talked about, I’m the man. I felt hurt. And do you know how much the tests and treatments are costing us, how much of my hard earned money is going into them?”

Tammy took a deep breath. Yes, the tests, x-rays and treatments they were going for in their efforts to con-ceive were costing them so much and were also very time consuming. She took her lower lip in between her teeth the way she usually did when she was thought-ful.

Richard went on to explain, “So … I’m as concerned as you are but … what can I do? The difference between us is that I’ve been able to differenti-ate between what I can do and what I can’t do. In this case, we just

have to continue to trust God.”

Tammy sighed. Her husband was right, again. She got up and took the remote control from the top of the TV and gave it to him. He switched the

TV on. She took the plates to the kitchen and cleaned the table. After washing the dishes, she returned to him in the living room to watch the TV with Richard.

When it was 3.30PM, he told her, “Let’s get ready for church.”

“I’m not going.” She said immediately as if she had been waiting for him to say that.

He looked at her, “You’re not going? What about the meeting you have with the children’s teach-ers?”

“Another person can handle the meeting

or you can meet with them on my behalf, please.”

“What are you talking about? How can I meet with them when I have my own meetings?” He stared at her. “May I know why you’re not

going?”

When she didn’t reply, he said, “Come on, Tammy …”

“I don’t want to go, please!” She said sharply.

“Look Tammy, you can’t be saying you’re not going or you’re not doing something anytime you’re upset. That’s not the way to handle issues.”

She didn’t talk.

“Tammy, please,”

“I can’t go. I’m not happy. How can I go for the meeting when I’m not happy? The people will expect

me to be happy but I’m not. If I go, they will sense immedi-ately that something is wrong. I can’t do it.”

“Tammy, look -”

“I’m not going please.” She insisted.

“You’re the head of the children’s church. You’re also a pastor’s wife.” He reasoned.

“I know but … I need some time to myself today. Talk to the teachers on my behalf please.”

“You know I can’t. I can’t be at two places at the same time.” He pointed out in a con-trolled voice.

They heard the sound of the gate being opened and closed, and soon, Ringo was barking loudly. It must be a visitor that came in, as Ringo seemed to know all the occupants of the house. Soon,

they heard someone calling Ringo from the front apartment to calm him.

Richard stared at Tammy long, sighed and entered the bedroom.

Tammy followed him. “I’m sorry, Richard but I don’t want to go to church today. Tell the other teachers that I’ll see them tomor-row. Pleeease.”

“That’s alright. I’ll inform your assis-tant to handle the meeting.”

Some minutes after, they came out of the bedroom and Richard left for the church.

Tammy sighed. Her husband had a point. She shouldn’t allow these things to get at her but they were af-fecting her. And they were beginning to affect her self confi-dence. God help me. She seemed to be struggling to be happy these days.

Switching the TV off, she took her note-book and Bible, and sat down to prepare the brief message she would share with the children in the church the following day. When she finished, she switched the TV on again to watch. There was nothing else for her to do, no child to play with.

I heard a sermon many years ago that rested so well with me that I began to apply it to my everyday life, as well as teach it to people that I come in contact with. The sermon was simply titled ‘Steward-ship of Life.’ It brought me to an awareness of my en-vironment and to value the blessings that we so readily take for granted. Things like electricity, safety, fresh food, running water and so much more. What brought this home more powerfully is the recent senseless kill-ings of young people on national service in Nigeria as a result of dissatisfaction with the presidential elec-tions in some quarters. This happened in a country that has the Military as well as the Police. Life is so mean-ingless to some people that they take other people’s lives at will. I am grateful to God for the ability to sleep peacefully at night without worrying that someone might put the house on fire. In many of the countries that we originate from as immigrants, security, good roads and simple everyday essentials are the heights of luxury if available. In many areas, they are non-existent. When I visited Nigeria recently and saw the way the national elec-tricity company treated the people, I was so disgusted. In many homes where they can afford to buy a genera-tor, it is like a full time job, trying to have ongoing elec-

tricity. The energy company would put the light on for

about ten minutes and we would rush to turn off the generator, (to save on fuel of course!) as soon as you settle down to enjoy some cool breeze from the fan or air conditioner, or watch the news or a good program on TV, power goes off and you have to get up again to go and turn on the genera-tor. You can do this dance many times in a day. In the more affluent homes, men and maid servants are em-ployed to keep watch over this so that you can sleep in comfort. There was a woman who used to live in the same apartment complex with me who I had the oppor-tunity to visit twice. One thing that amazed me was that her home was always in semi-darkness. She would sit alone there and not put on any lights and I would

wonder why. Eventually, I decided that she was prob-

ably trying to save money on her electricity bill. I ob-served some more people in other houses where the utilities are included in the rent, who would have the lights on all day and night, the tap would run non-stop because they have a non-chalant attitude towards it. Some would say things like, “Oh don’t worry about it, it’s all included in the rent.” Someone pays for it! The attitude is like ‘don’t worry, as long as long as I am not responsible for the payment.’ How about house guests who cannot even afford a place of their own and become your enemy because you dared to caution them about the use of the essential amenities or even the use of your space. What a lot of people will not tolerate in their own homes, they do to other people. The

Bible says to ‘do unto others as you would they do unto

you.’ There have been cases of people who live in sub-sidized housing and eventu-ally buy their own homes who become tyrants when they in turn have to deal with house guests. There are some Landlords who dictate how many showers their tenants can take in a day to regulate the water bill. Of course, that is taking it to the extreme!

Teach Appreciation of life and its gifts. The woman in the home is usually the culprit because men gen-erally will not voice their input in the situation. She is tagged as intolerant, selfish or unnecessarily prudent. I suppose not. When bills become unpaid, women generally cannot look the other way. Remember the woman in Proverbs 31:10-31? The Scripture in part

reads, “Who can find a vir-tuous and capable wife? For her price is far above rubies. Her husband can trust her and she will greatly enrich his life. She makes sure that her dealings are profit-able. Her lamp burns late into the night. Her hands are busy spinning thread, her fingers twisting fiber. She has no fear of winter for her household, for everyone has warm clothes. She makes her own bedspreads… She carefully watches every-thing in her household and suffers nothing from lazi-ness” (NKJV)The summary of the scrip-ture above is that the virtu-ous and capable wife does not allow anything to go to waste. If every woman has all of these attributes, and teaches her household to appreciate the amenities that we have like a good Police department, elec-tricity, water, life itself and so much more, the world would be a better place. Please pray for the families in Nigeria who lost their newly graduated adult chil-dren to a lawless society. We are all responsible to make use of everything that God has given us well, not waste them.

In these days of high unemploy-ment in the United States, surviv-al without proper legal documents is very difficult. Some elderly im-migrants, I was told are being denied Social Security benefits because their work permits had expired. I was told by one of such immigrant recently that she got Social Security benefit for only 1month, the last month before the expiration of her employment au-thorization card. It is wickedness of the highest order for an im-migrant to work for many years, contribute to social security, only to be denied benefit at retirement because he or she has no paper.

Many immigrants currently in removal proceedings could do something to get employment authorization cards while their cases are pending. These cards will enable them work and obtain drivers’ licenses to drive in the U.S.

Some of my clients in removal proceedings were able to get em-ployment authorization cards. They were issued two years work permit to enable them work and survive before the final hearing of their cases.

If you are in removal proceedings and you are applying for adjust-ment of status through marriage or any other means, tell your at-torney to request that the Judge stamp his file copy on the day he files the document with the Court. Usually the adjustment forms for immigrants in proceedings are filed in a different location from immigrants who are not in removal proceedings. Usually, if an immigrant applying for ad-justment of status is not in pro-ceedings, application for employ-ment authorization is filed with the adjustment application, but when an immigrant is in proceed-ings, the procedure is different.

The application for adjustment of status has to be filed first and sub-

mitted to the Court before such an immigrant could become eli-gible for employment authoriza-tion. Once the application is even-tually filed, the immigrant will be issued employment authorization that is valid for two years.

As for immigrants applying for asylum before the court, the process of obtaining employ-ment authorization card is very different. For these immigrants, there is a clock. The clock must be running for 150days before the immigrant could apply and obtain employment authorization card.

Usually, an immigrant apply-ing for asylum or withholding of removal should not be in a haste to have the clock running. At times the long adjournment might be beneficial for the im-migrant if the case is very weak. During the long adjournment, new relief could become available to the immigrant. An immigrant in this position cannot eat his cake and have it. It’s either you go for a work permit or you let the case drag without a work permit while you look into other means to survive without it.

It is important that all immigrants in removal proceedings applying for asylum should discuss these options with their attorneys so they can choose the route that is more beneficial to their clients.

This article is for your informa-tion only. It is not a legal advice that can only be obtained from an immigration attorney after evaluating your case.

Q. Recently my son was denied permis-sion to attend a class field trip because of his behavior. I didn’t think that it was fair to make him stay at school and miss the trip, so I kept him at home. Does a school have the right to refuse to take children on field trips as pun-ishment for behavioral issues? Angry Mom

A. Yes, according to the current School Law, 30th Edition text p.466, administrators and teachers have the right to deny students participation in field trips, interscholastic sports, and other ac-tivities, when behav-ior is an issue and sus-pension is not deemed necessary. Having said that, I personally do not like to see chil-dren miss educational field trips that they will probably not have the chance to attend again. When it comes to behavior, I prefer to see the school psy-chologist become involved and set up a

behavior modification plan that the class-room teacher and parents are trained to implement. The psychologist can also observe the child’s behavior and rec-ommend any outside assistance if needed. I would suggest that you talk to the class-room teacher ahead of time and ask him/ her what his/her policy is regarding behavior and field trips. Volun-teer to attend the field trip with your child. Also ask him/her what other strategies could be used instead of missing trips and other fun activities. Let him/her know that you are willing to work with him/her and follow the steps in the behavior modification plan if one is created.Teachers work hard to meet the New York State standards and to teach their students what they need to know. When there are behavior problems, teachers have to stop teaching to address them. Complete the Free Lunch Form to Help your School Dis-trictQ. My district con-tinuously sends home ‘free lunch’ applica-tion forms. Every year they harass parents to fill out these forms. I know that I do not qualify for free lunch. Why do they ask all parents to

fill out these forms?

A. The free or reduced lunch program is for parents who can dem-onstrate that their children are eligible to receive it based on their total household income. Children who receive Food Stamps, Aid to De-pendent Children (ADC), Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), or the Food Distri-bution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) are all eligi-ble for free or signifi-cantly reduced break-

fast and lunch. Other households are eligi-ble depending on their income and number of persons in the house-hold. Foster children may also be eligible. Children with special needs whose disabili-ty interferes with their ability to participate in regular food service programs without some modification, may also apply for special meals or sub-stitutions. A doctor’s note will be required. The information in the lunch forms are kept strictly confiden-tial. The reason dis-

tricts want as many families as possible to complete the lunch forms, even if fami-lies are not eligible, is because the informa-tion provided is used for the allocation of funds to federal pro-grams such as Title I and National Assess-ment of the Educa-tion Process (NAEP), State Health or State Education Programs, and for Federal, State, or local means tested nutrition programs. Districts have to prove that they are in need of and entitled to these federal funds used

to provide programs and improve instruc-tion for students. It is in parents’ best inter-est to complete these forms so that their children’s schools can receive the federal funds needed to im-plement and provide enriching programs to meet the needs of all children attending that dis-trict. Also some fami-lies think that they are not eligible and they are. You can obtain lunch forms and guidelines to see if you qualify from the central registration

Suddenly, the flat seemed too quiet for her. She got up, took a wicker chair and went to the balcony to sit. She continued thinking.

There was a time she told her husband that she wasn’t going to attend naming cer-emonies in the church again but he had encouraged her to keep going.

“If you stop attending, people will easily know why and that’s not good for your image. Besides, when you attend naming ceremo-nies, you’re sowing a seed for your own miracle.” He had reasoned with her.

After that, she had contin-ued attending naming cere-monies and giving the fami-lies gifts but her baby was yet to come.

Or was she destined not to give birth - as she had read in a book that someone gave

her to read? A woman also said a similar thing on TV some months ago. Was this supposed to be her lot in life? Should she just accept this childlessness and go and adopt a child? Adop-tion? No! She didn’t want a baby that was not hers. How would she tell people that the baby she was carrying was adopted?

She heard the sound of the puppies coming close and soon they appeared, walking beside Ringo, going to the other side of the compound.

Tammy sighed. Even Ringo had children. Her heart broke. She closed her eyes and prayed with tears, “God, even this dog has children. Open my womb and let me have children. Help me Lord.”

She paused, pursing her lips in sorrow, and then she opened her mouth again, to make a vow.

USCIS Announces Proposed H-1B Electronic Registration System to Reduce

Costs for U.S. BusinessesWASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is publishing tomorrow a proposed rule that could save U.S. businesses more than $23 million over the next 10 years by establishing an advance registration process for U.S. employ-ers seeking to file H-1B petitions for foreign workers in specialty oc-cupations. The proposed electronic system would minimize administra-tive burdens and expenses related to the H-1B petition process—includ-ing reducing the need for employers to submit petitions for which visas would not be available under the stat-utory visa cap.

USCIS Director Alejandro Mayor-

kas today announced the opening of a 60-day comment period that will allow businesses and the general public to provide input on the pro-posed system in order to ensure it best meets the needs of employers that rely on H-1B visas to bring in foreign workers for specialty occupations.

“The proposed rule would create a more efficient and cost-effective process for businesses interested in bringing workers in specialty occupa-tions to the United States,” he said. “Improving the H-1B petition process is part of USCIS’s ongoing efforts to leverage new ideas and innovation to streamline our operations and enhance customer service.”

Under the proposed rule, employers seeking to petition for H-1B workers subject to the statutory cap would reg-ister electronically with USCIS—a process that would take an estimated 30 minutes to complete. Before the petition filing period begins, USCIS would select the number of registra-tions predicted to exhaust all avail-able visas. Employers would then file petitions only for the selected registrations. The registration system would save employers the effort and expense of filing H-1B petitions, as well as Labor Condition Applications, for workers who would be unable to obtain visas under the statutory cap.

The proposed rule, which posted to the Federal Register today for public viewing, contains complete details about the registration system and esti-mated cost savings. USCIS encourag-es formal comments on the proposed rule through www.regulations.gov. The comment period runs for 60 days, beginning March 3, 2011, and ending on May 2, 2011.

For more information on the proposed H-1B rule, please see the accompany-ing Fact Sheet. For more informa-tion on USCIS and its programs, visit www.uscis.gov.

Headache is a loosely used word that it is not uncommon to hear parents say to children when bothered, “don’t give me headache”. In medical terms, head-ache is pain or dis-comfort that arises from anywhere above the eyes or ears, in the head or the upper part of the neck (towards the back). It is so common that almost everyone has had one form of headache or the other at some point in their lifetime.The severity and dura-tion of the headache, the presence or absence of associated symp-toms, age at which the headache begins and other background medical problems are some of the things that determine the serious-ness of headaches in general.

Types of HeadacheThere are so many types of headache that they cannot be ex-hausted in this write up. One way of cat-egorizing headache is to divide them into primary and second-ary.Primary headaches consist of three types namely: tension, mi-graine and cluster headaches. Headaches

that occur as a result of other problems are called secondary headaches and will be discussed in the next issue.

Tension Headache• Presents as dull ache, tight feeling or pressure around the forehead, sides or upper neck. It is com-moner in women than men.•The pain may last for just a couple of minutes to days. , with varying severity.•It may occur in the morning, during the process of work or when stress is antici-pated.•Occurrence less than 15 times a month is called episodic, if more then it is chronic.•Associated symptoms may include becom-ing irritable, difficulty sleeping or concentrat-ing and tiredness.•Tension headache triggers include anxiety, depression, and stress, lack of proper sleep, abnormal postures, no physical activity, hunger, and overuse of pain medi-cations.Causes•The exact cause is not known. A distur-bance in the chemical materials produced in the brain is thought to be responsible. It has been long believed that muscle contraction in the head and neck may also be contributory.

Migraine HeadacheIt’s a form of moder-ate to severe pain in the head that usually disturbs the person from routine activi-ties. It affects about

28 million people in the U.S., with women been affected more than men.

• Affects one side of the head usually, though may involve both sides.•The headache is usually throbbing, sometimes pounding.•It may last hours to days if untreated.•Affected person is very sensitive to noise and light.•Some people have the same type of ‘warning’ sign (aura) prior to the headache. These signs are usually visual likes light flashes, floating spots and so on. Causes of Migraine headacheMigraine is thought to be caused by inter-play between chemi-cal imbalance (low serotonin) and the function of one of the pain regulating nerves in the brain (trigemi-nal nerve). The blood vessels in the brain at that time increase in size (dilate) and become inflamed in response to one of the

chemicals released (neuropeptides) as a result of low serotonin. It occurs more fre-

quently in people with a family history of mi-graines.

Migraine headache TriggersHormonal: In women low estrogen levels can trigger headache. This may explain why some women have headaches around the time of menstruation and in the estrogen free week when oral contraceptives are used. Some people have reported increase migraine headaches in pregnancy. The exact hormonal mechanism is not clear.Sleep disturbances: too much or too little sleep may trigger migraine.Food: Tyramine a sub-stance found in cheese, wine, beer, sausages can precipitate mi-graines. Red wine and chocolates have also been implicated. Caf-feine in high doses may cause disturbed sleep and migraine. Food abstinence as in

prolonged fasting can be a trigger.Stress: at work or in the home.

Physical activity and conditions: exces-sive physical activity, sexual activity inclu-sive may trigger mi-graine. Bright lights, glaring at the sun and change in weather are potential triggers.

CLUSTER HEAD-ACHESThis is headache that occurs in cycles, it is severe but not life threatening. It is char-acterized by the fol-lowing:•Headache about the same time of day when it occurs.•It lasts weeks or months with head-ache free intervals of months to years.•Pain is usually severe, often behind one eye.•Restlessness with tendency to bang the head on something dis-played by sufferers.•The eye involved may become red and watery.•The nose on the af-fected side may be

stuffy with watery dis-charge.• There may be as-sociated sweaty and pale skin.• It is commoner in men than women.• Tends to occur around age 20-40.

Treatment of Primary HeadachesIn general start with over the counter (OTC) pain medicines. Avoid overuse as these medi-cations themselves may cause headaches. Special prescription medications called triptans are also useful. The suddenness of cluster headache makes OTC medica-tions ineffective. Nasal sprays, injections of triptans are available. Oxygen is also used to treat cluster head-aches. People with re-current migraines may require daily medica-tions (prophylaxis) to prevent attacks.

Take Home MessageExcessive use of pain medication itself is a common cause of headache.Serious causes of headaches that may be life threatening require immediate medical treatment. These will be discussed in the next write up.

Joey and The PriestBless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl’.

The priest asks, ‘Is that you, little Joey Pagano ?’ ‘Yes, Father, it is.’ ‘And who was the girl you were with?’ ‘I can’t tell you, Father. I don’t want to ruin her reputation’. “Well, Joey, I’m sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti? ‘I cannot say.’ ‘Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?’ ‘I’ll never tell.’ ‘Was it Nina Capelli?’

‘I’m sorry, but I cannot name her.’ ‘Was it Cathy Piriano?’ ‘My lips are sealed.’ ‘Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?’ ‘Please, Father, I cannot tell you.’ The priest sighs in frustration. ‘You’re very tight lipped, and I admire that. But you’ve sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself.’

Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers, ‘What’d you get?’

‘Four months vacation and five good leads.’

Texas vs NY A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy. He thinks that he is smarter than the deputy because he is a lawyer from New York and is certain that he has a better education than any cop from Texas . He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the Texas deputy’s expense.

The deputy says, “License and registra-tion, please.”

“What for?” says the lawyer.

The deputy says, “You didn’t come to a complete stop at the stop sign.”

Then the lawyer says, “I slowed down, and no one was coming.”

“You still didn’t come to a complete stop, Says the deputy. License

and registration, please.”

The lawyer says, “What’s the differ-ence?”

“The difference is you have to come to acomplete stop, that’s the law. License and registration, please!” the Deputy says.

Lawyer says, “If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I’ll give you my license and registration; and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don’t give me the ticket.”

“That sounds fair. Please exit your vehicle, sir,” the deputy says.

At this point, the deputy takes out his nightstick and starts beating the daylights out of the lawyer and says, “Do you want me to stop, or just slow down?”

Peninnah could be as wicked as she would, but as long as Hannah hid in the LORD her wicked-ness was useless. So long as Hannah had a shelter in the LORD the devil’s darts were fruitless. Hannah would not bear the affliction alone, it was too severe and relentless, but when she went to the house of the LORD she got help. What you are facing right now might be too much for you to bear, take it to the LORD. Many times I have hit a stonewall and more often than not I could not do anything on my own to help myself. There are times when I knew clearly that all possible efforts had been exhausted. But thanks be to God because every time I turn to Him, He helps me. I bless His holy name. Do you know how to turn to Him? He can hear the cry in your heart. He can see your wounded heart. When you are down and wounded He is up and ready to lift you up.

And she was in bit-terness of soul, and prayed to the LORD and wept in anguish. Then she made avow and said, “O LORD of hosts, if you will indeed look on the af-fliction of your maid-servant and remember me, and not forget your maidservant, but will give your maid-servant a male child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, no razor shall come upon his head. 1 Sam 1:10-11…O LORD of hosts, Hannah worshipped God calling Him by one of His cov-enant names Jeho-vah-Sabaoth [LORD of hosts]. She wor-shipped Him who is the supreme com-mander of all the heav-enly army. She was Provoking Him in this covenant title so that He would command His angels to fight for her. Worship is a spiri-tual warfare weapon. Worship releases the anointing that breaks yokes. Worship re-leases the anointing that heals our wounds.LORD, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me. Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.” But you, O LORD, are a shield for me, my glory and the lifter of my head. I cried to the LORD with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill. I lay down and slept; I awoke, for

the LORD sustained me. Psalm 3: 1-5He gives us rest when we worship. He gives us peace of mind. Worshiping God will give you peace that passes all understand-ing. David was cog-nizant of the fact that so many enemies sur-rounded him but he was not worried so long as God was his shield. David knew that any time he called on Him He would answer! “He never sleeps nor slumbers”. “His ears are always open unto the cry of the righteous.” The bible says that, “He gives His beloved sleep” [Ps. 127: 2.] He takes away worry and re-stores our peace. He knows what you are going

through. He knows who has been unfair to you. The battle is no longer yours; your God has already in-terposed Himself in your struggles. “He has taken over your warfare. Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you…” [Exodus. 14:

13] You will over-come in Jesus name.

YOU CANNOT FIGHT THE BATTLE ALONE


Too many employ-ees can identify with “employee

discontent”; they feel unfulfilled and un-appreciated on their jobs. To make mat-ters worse, many are underpaid and over-worked. Impossible workloads and unfair work policies com-pound the feelings of unhappiness for many employees. Other job-related issues that can also add to employee discontent are having to labor in emotion-ally unhealthy envi-ronments filled with drama and competi-tion where mean col-leagues and overbear-ing bosses seem to abound. Unfortunate-ly, this is the descrip-tion of many work en-vironments and it does not end at the job site. There is an emotional backlash that remains. Employees often take home the residues of their stressful work-places with them, and even after work they can remain moody, miserable or fatigued.

As a consequence, their children, spouses and other relatives are the ones who bear the brunt of their dissatis-faction. Perhaps the easiest solution to this would be to change jobs but in this tough economic environ-ment it is something that many are not pre-pared to do. However, if you do stay in your crazy workplace, your situation is not hope-less, you can find ways of dealing with those mean co-workers in crazy work places. If nothing else, you always have the power to change you. The most powerful thing about changing you is that when you decide to do so, people and situations around you will change automati-cally. Here are some suggestions:1. Keep your work area clean and orga-nized – even if no one else does – There’s nothing more telling of a working envi-ronment than how its workspaces are kept. Disorganized offices, cubicles, and desks are an indication of disorganized, careless workers. Your work-space is a reflection of the quality of work you deliver. Even if no one else does, keep your area clean.2. Say what you

mean and mean what you say - Stay out of office gossip and politics. Make sure

that whatever you say within closed quar-ters you can repeat in public. Never offer or add information that will damage anyone personally unless you are willing to say it to their faces. 3. Stay away from the workplace clique – Every workplace has one or a few inner circles. They are usually employ-ees with seniority or those with some form of authority. New em-ployees and unpopular workers can feel os-tracized and at a dis-advantage if they are not part of this circle.

Reality is that these cliques are usually cut-throat, disloyal, and ruthless. Stay away

from them.4. Don’t take work home – Don’t call colleagues after work to gossip about what happened at work. Re-member that you do have another life away from work; invest time in it and in those who form part of your real life.5. Don’t take your home to your work-place either– Leave your personal issues home where they belong. Because we spend so much time in the workplace we think that it gives us permission to share our personal lives with

colleagues. Make a distinction - your co-workers are work part-ners, they are not your

therapists or counsel-ors, and some may not even be worthy of being your close friends. 6. Be committed to getting the job done – It’s simple. It doesn’t matter who is not doing their job or doing it right, you do yours. That’s what you are paid to do.7. Live up to your personal principles – Be clear about who you are and what you stand for. Don’t com-promise your values for anything or anyone. What you need from co-workers is respect for your value system

not approval or accep-tance.8. Be professional – From flipping burgers to running an execu-tive office, every job has its internal pro-tocol and policies. Follow them. Carry yourself in a profes-sional manner even if you wash dishes or clean bathrooms. 9. Hold yourself ac-countable to a higher creed – It’s not about pleasing your boss or even making the company look good, it’s about maintaining a personal reputation of high standards. Ev-erything you do carries your name on it. Do a good job because it represents you.

All immigrants on the pathway to perma-nent resident status and those currently holding the two year conditional green card must read this and get serious. To keep the conditional green card now is as important as obtain-ing it.

Over the past few years as the noose is tightened on illegal immigration to the United States, more and more immigrants who previously were green card holders are finding them-selves in removal proceedings. These groups of immigrants have no other person to blame than them-selves. It is highly unimaginable for an immigrant to serve 10years of “slavery” in the United States doing menial jobs to survive while trying to obtain permanent resi-dent status only to lose it to carelessness. Some immigrants are simply sloppy and negligent in handling their own affairs.

Any immigrant that is not ready to do what it takes to keep his / her green card should not bother ob-taining one. What is the essence of having a green card if you are going to be de-ported at the end of

the day? It would have been better no to have ever obtained

one in the first place.

The rule regarding the issuance of the two year green card is put in place by the U.S. Congress to further ascertain whether or not a marriage is legitimate. Any mar-riage denial at the removal of condition stage is adjudged to be fraudulent and for immigration purpos-es only. Any immi-

grant whose perma-nent resident status is denied at this stage

is sent into removal proceedings before the Immigration Court.

Apart from the agony and the expense of dealing with the im-migration court, the immigrant if denied relief by the Judge could end up being deported.

Majority of the im-migrants who end up

loosing their green cards after obtain-ing them lose them

as a result of their own negligence. To remove the condi-tion on your green card, with or without your spouse, requires proper documenta-tion of the marriage during the two years before the filing of the application for removal of the con-dition. It is essential that you maintain at least six types of joint accounts which carry

monthly bills. For example, joint bank account, joint cable

account, joint elec-tricity account etc. It is also essential that you file your taxes as married filing jointly.

The U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Ser-vices always look for red flags to doubt your marriage at this stage. Unfortunately, many immigrants leave red flags flying high in their cases. For example it is a red

flag to file your taxes separately instead of jointly. It is a red flag for your State IDs or drivers’ licenses to have different ad-dresses. Once any of these red flags is sighted; the case is referred to interview. The Immigration Service Officer that will evaluate your case has a checklist and unless you meet the requirements on the checklist, they will deny your case.

It is important that all immigrants take preparing to remove conditions on green cards more seriously by preparing ahead of time through proper documenta-tion of their marriag-es.

Danger: Conditional Green Card Could

Lead to Deportation

Any immigrant that is not ready to do what it takes to keep green card should not bother obtaining one other-wise such an immigrant will be deported after loosing the green card than the ones that never obtain one.


Mrs. Oladele Williams-Oni, an architect narrated to an Ikeja High Court, Lagos, how she was scammed of #17 million by a shepherd in charge of the Celestial Church of Christ, Genesis Parish, Alagbado, Prophet Israel Ola Ogundipe.The lady told the court that she entrusted the accused person with her money to procure some landed property on her be-half because she thought he was a “good pastor,” but was surprised that the prophet only made her to suffer in vain. She said, “He told me some-thing about my husband in one of his

prophecies, that I should not have anything jointly with him because he was having an affair be-hind my back. He gave me a liquid to drink and I started vomiting. I was asked to sit down and he lighted a candle and said I should be there until the candle goes off” She said her misfortune started when she returned to London, the prophet asked her to invest in landed property in La-gos, which she agreed. This she did after consul-tations with some people. About #17mil-lion in five installments of #900,000, #2.5 million , #8.5 million, #2.7 million

and £12,000 between 2002 and 2005 to pur-chase the property on her behalf, which turned out to be fraud.

A Nigerian, Oladapo Oladokun, has been sentenced to two years imprisonment for car-rying out a scheme in which he took over financial gains belonging to about 25 victims. He was said to have scammed his victims to the tune of three hundred thou-sand dollars.The authorities said Oladokun, 37, took over more than 40 financial accounts fraudulently. He was accused to have also used , possessed, or opened the accounts without the victims’ authorization. He lived in Lanham, Maryland, and pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated

identity theft. He was sentenced by Judge Ellen S. Huvelle in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colum-bia. In addition to the prison term, the judge ordered Oladokun to pay restitution of $269,304. According to gov-ernment’s evidence, once in possession of the victims’ checks or credit cards, Oladokun and

others engaged in fi-nancial transactions such as buying goods and services, depositing the bank checks into accounts opened in the names of other victims, cashing checks, and purchasing money orders.

Five white American students from the University of Wisconsin, United States of America, who are undergoing a Language immer-sion program at the University of Ibadan, Oyo State, were some of the guests at the 2011 Yoruba Day at the Vivian Fowler Memorial Girl’s College, Lagos. The mastery of the Yoruba Lan-guage by American students is gen-erating new concerns, that while many Nigerian parents in foreign lands no longer teach and speak their mother-tongue to their children, these young Amer-icans are working towards ob-taining their Bachelors of Art in the Yoruba Language. The students are Lauren Hal-loran, Caraline Harshman, Kelvin Barry, Kelly Moses and O’Neil Keegan. Apart from studying the Language, they have adopted Yoruba names. Halloran is Abike, Harshman is Titi-

layo, Barry has adopted Kayode, and Moses is Akinwunmi while Keegan’s Yoruba name is Kolade. Yoruba Language is the language of about 40 million people living in the South West geopolitical zone of the most populous black nation on earth, Nigeria. Olakunle O.

Achieving credible elections in Nigeria had been a tall order, almost right from the first general election held in 1959. The best ever recorded free and fair election held in the country was the June 12, 1993 election which was annulled by the then head of the Military Junta, General Ibrahim Babangida, in spite of the over-whelming trans-ethnic support enjoyed by the late Chief M.K.O Abiola, the acclaimed winner of the said elec-tion. There have been several general elec-tions after that, but until the just concluded elections, it appeared conducting credible elections in Nigeria had become elusive, espe-cially with the massive rigging that plagued the 2007 general elec-tions. It took years of civil suits (from elec-tion tribunals to the appellate courts) for some of the candidates that were rigged out in that election to reclaim their mandates, and sadly enough, some never did. Dr. Goodluck Jonathan was sworn in as the President of the Federal

Republic of Nigeria to complete the tenure of the erstwhile Presi-dent, late Alhaji Umar Yar’dua, who himself, was a product of the 2007 elections. One of the undertakings the new President made to Nigerians and indeed the International com-munity was that he would ensure that the next general elections are free and fair. Con-sidering the anteced-ent of the President’s party, Peoples Demo-cratic Party (PDP) in the previous elections and the fact that the President was also running in the election, Nigerians were gener-ally skeptical about the promise of a free and fair election. True to his promise, President Goodluck Jonathan, followed through on the electoral reforms initiated by his prede-cessor and also went a step further by appoint-ing a well respected Professor of Political Science and former Chair of the Academic Staff Union of Univer-sities (ASUU), Profes-sor Attahiru Jega to head the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Several novelties were introduced into the electoral processes in the 2011 elections as checks to rigging and other electoral mal-practices. For instance, computers and finger-print capturing devices were used in taking the eligible voters’ per-sonal information and finger prints to prevent multiple registrations.

The commission also engaged a good number of the members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) as ad hoc staff to ensure the integrity of the exer-cise.

Although the good in-tention of the electoral commission was well noted, the voters’ reg-istration exercise was spotted by technical hitches, and logistic problems. The finger prints machines, com-puters, generators and other equipments used did not function well enough to justify the billions of public funds spent procuring them. As much as people wanted to take the President for his words that their votes would count, an indetermin-able but definitely not

insignificant number of eligible voters were unable to register at the end of the exercise. Be that as it may, it was generally agreed that the new voters regis-ter is more dependable

than previous ones.On Saturday, 2nd April, 2011, Nigerian elector-ates went to the polls to elect candidates that would represent them at the two chambers of the National Assembly and to their dismay, the election was called off, at a time when a good number of voters in some parts of the country had already undergone the accredi-tation exercise, one of the novelties intro-duced by the reforms. Initially, it was an-nounced to have been postponed to the fol-

lowing Monday, 4th April, 2011 due to delay in the delivery of the electoral materi-als by the Contractor, however, after what he described as “wide consultation with

the stakeholders” the INEC chairman further postponed the elec-tions to Saturday 9th April, 2011. On the new date, Nige-ria’s electorates went all out to elect candi-dates of their choice to represent them at the National Assembly. Apart from the exercise being transparent and largely peaceful, Nige-rians and indeed elec-tion observers from the world over, witnessed for the first time since the ‘June 12’ election, a well organized voting exercise with the least

incidents of ballot box hijacking and the general violence that had come to character-ize elections in Nigeria. It is undisputable from the results that the can-didates were indeed those who scored the highest votes in that election.This is not to say the National Assembly election was perfect, but the hitches were well managed, as elec-tions had to be post-poned again to 26th April, 2011, in 15 Sen-atorial districts and 48 Federal constituencies due to security threats and logistic problems.There are about sixty-three (63) registered political parties in the Country, however, the parties that featured prominently in the elec-tions are Peoples Dem-ocratic Party (PDP), Action Congress of Nigeria (CAN), Con-gress for Political Change (CPC) All Ni-gerian People’s Party (ANPP), Labour Party (LP), Accord Party (AP), Peoples’ Party of Nigeria (PPN) and All Progressive Grand Al-liance (APGA).Out of the 90 senatorial seats that were contest-ed during the election, the ruling party, PDP, won 58 seats predomi-nantly from the South – South, South-East and some part of the North-East and North-Central, Nigeria. ACN won 14 seats pre-dominantly from the South-West and part of the South-South, ANPP won 7 Seats, CPC won 6 seats, LP

Election 2011 in Nigeria: Winners and Losers

contd on pg 26


Contd from pg 26won all the 3 seats in Ondo State, APGA won a seat in Anambra State, while DPP won a seat in Delta Central.The result of the Federal House of Representative reveals that, out of the 218 seats that were contested during the election, 123 seats were won by PDP, ACN won 45 seats, CPC won 21 seats, ANPP won 11 seats, LP 8 seats, Accord Party 5 seats, APGA 4 seats while PPN won a seat.The results clearly showed that elections in Nigeria are no longer business as usual. Some of the serving senators and members of the House of Representa-tive lost their bid to clinch return tickets to the Nation-al Assembly. The incum-bent Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole lost to the Action Congress Candidate, as did the daughter of a former President, Senator Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello. Some PDP ex-governors were also defeated in the elec-

tion. PDP, the ruling party, lost in the wards of some of the party’s chieftains like the former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, the Vice President and Alhaji Lamido Sambo to mention just a few.The Presidential election which came up the follow-ing Saturday, 16th April, 2011 turned out much better than the earlier Na-tional Assembly Election in terms of logistics, op-erations and security. The election took place in all the 36 states of the Federa-tion and the Federal Capital Territory had Nineteen (19) candidates including the incumbent president vying for the office of the Presi-dent of the Federal Repub-lic of Nigeria. At the end of the exercise, the Presidential Candi-date of the PDP and the Incumbent President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan had over 25% votes totaling 22,495,187, in 33 states of the Federation, and scored

the highest votes in Abia, Adamawa, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Bayelsa, Benue, Cross River, Delta, Ebonyi, Edo, Ekiti, Enugu, Gombe, Imo, Kogi, Kwara, Nasar-awa, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Plateau Rivers, Taraba states, and the Federal Capital Territory Abuja. The CPC’s Candidate, Former Military Head of State, General Moham-med Buhari (Rtd) had over 25% votes in 17 states of the federation including the FCT, with votes total-ing 12,214,853. He scored the highest number of votes Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Niger, Sokoto, Yobe, and Zamfara while the ACN’s candi-date Mallam Nuhu Ribadu scored the highest number of votes in Osun State with above 25% votes totaling 2,067,301 in Ekiti, Ogun, and Oyo.Having fulfilled all the con-ditions precedent as pro-vided by the Constitution

of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has since been declared winner of the elec-tion by the Chairman of INEC. Nigeria still has a long way to go in achieving sustain-able development through democracy and good gov-ernance. However, the suc-cessful conduct of transpar-ent polls has been a step taken in the right direc-tion, a lot of commenda-tions have been going to the leadership of INEC, the security agencies, serving members of the NYSC and the general public from the international commu-nity, civil societies and pro democracy entities, for staying committed to the achievement of credibility in the Country. On the flip side, the gloom cast upon the success of the election was the spate of violence that broke out in some part of the North-ern states believed to be the strong holds of General

Mohammed Buhari (Rtd) based on an erroneous report broadcasted on an international media on Sunday 17th April, 2011, that the transparently col-lated election results were being rigged in favour of the incumbent Presi-dent. Hoodlums from pre-dominantly muslim states went on rampage destroy-ing churches, properties, and government facilities, killing and maiming a lot of innocent citizens in the process.Although the situation has been brought under control, it is hoped that in future polls, adequate security measures would be put in place to forestall such post election outbreaks. Overall, lessons learnt from the just concluded polls should be applied towards ensuring a more peaceful and credible polls in the future.


In general, an alien’s conviction for a crime involving moral turpi-tude triggers

removability under section 237(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C.

FILPPU, Board Member:

This case presents a recurring question as to the proper interpre-tation

of section 237(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Immigra-tion and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C.

§ 1227(a)(2)(A)(i) (2006), which (in per-tinent part) authorizes the removal

of any alien who “is convicted of a crime

involving moral turpi-tude committed

within five years . . . after the date of ad-mission,” provided the crime

is punishable by a sentence of imprison-ment of 1 year or lon-ger. In Matter

of Shanu, 23 I&N Dec. 754 (BIA 2005), vacated sub nom. Are-

muv. Department of

Homeland Security, 450 F.3d 578 (4th Cir. 2006), we held,

first, that the term “admission” used in section 237(a)(2)(A)(i) referred

to adjustment of sta-tus as well as admis-sion at the border; and second, that

an alien’s conviction for a crime involving moral turpitude sup-ported removal

under that section so long as the crime was committed within 5 years after the

date of any admis-sion made by the alien.

We now overrule this second holding of Matter of Shanu and conclude

instead that a con-viction for a crime involving moral turpi-tude triggers

removability under section 237(a)(2)(A)(i) only if the crime was committed

within 5 years after the date of the admis-sion by virtue of which the alien was

then in the United States. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.1(g) (2010) (“By majority vote

of the permanent Board members, se-lected decisions of the Board rendered

by a three-member panel . . . may be des-ignated to serve as precedents in all

proceedings involv-ing the same issue or issues.”) This does not necessarily

require that the date of admission be the alien’s first, or even his most recent,

admission. But it does mean that there is only one “date of ad-mission” that

is relevant to mea-

suring the statutory 5-year period in rela-tion to a particular

offense.

I. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL HIS-TORY

The respondent, who is alleged to be a native and citizen of Pales-tine, was

admitted to the Unit-ed States as a non-immigrant in August 2001. He remained

in the United States thereafter, and in April 2006 his status was ad-justed to that

of a lawful perma-nent resident of the United States. In Janu-ary 2008, the

respondent was con-victed of indecent as-sault in violation of Pennsylvania law,

based on a 2007 of-fense. As a result of that conviction, the Department

of Homeland Secu-

rity (“DHS”) initiated these removal pro-ceedings, in which

the respondent is charged with remov-ability under section 237(a)(2)(A)(i)

of the Act, which provides as follows:

Any alien who—(I) is convicted of a

crime involving moral turpitude committed

within five years(or 10 years in the

case of an alien pro-vided lawful perma-nent resident status under

section 245(j) of this title) after the date of admission, and

(II) is convicted of a crime for which a sen-tence of one year or longer may

be imposed, is de-portable.

Shortly after remov-al proceedings com-menced, the respon-dent filed

a written motion re-questing their termina-tion on the ground that his indecent

assault conviction resulted from an of-fense committed more than 5 years after

his “admission” as a nonimmigrant in Au-gust 2001. The Immi-gration Judge

denied the motion

based on Matter of Shanu, holding that the respondent

is removable be-cause he committed his offense less than 5 years after his

“admission” to law-ful permanent resident status in April 2006. The

respondent acknowl-edged Matter of Shanu in his motion but ar-gued that the

Immigration Judge should decline to fol-low that precedent be-cause its

rationale had been repudiated or criticized by several reviewing courts. The

Immigration Judge disagreed, finding that he was obliged to ap-ply Matter

of Shanu. This time-ly appeal followed, and the respondent and the DHS have

filed extensive briefs. Furthermore, the American Immi-gration Council has

filed an amicus cur-iae brief in support of the respondent.

II. ANALYSISA. Legal Back-

groundSection 237(a) of

the Act provides in its opening sentence that the grounds

of deportability ap-ply only to aliens “in and admitted to the United States.”

The language, struc-ture, and purpose of the Act, taken as a whole, has led

us to conclude that the class of aliens “in and admitted to the

Hi;I am DP, I admire your newspaper ‘US Immigration news’ and I found it interesting and educative. I have an issue and I will appreciate any advice you might have for me. I have a conditional green card and my wife divorced me recently

and moved in with her new boyfriend. I did whatever I could to make the marriage work but she left me anyway and went ahead to file a divorce which was granted. She also told me she had reported to immigration that she is no longer married to me. This is giving me sleepless nights especially when I read your article titled “From Permanent Residency to Deportation”. I wonder if her action would jeopardize my status but my immigration at-torney told me the divorce and the report made to immigration would not hurt me and that I can still remove the condition but I am not convinced that this will not hurt me.

Mr. DP, your case is similar to that of many immigrants in the United States. Sleepless nights will not solve the problem. The article in USI News was written in order to generate questions that will help people not to cause you sleeplessness. Now, that we got you asking, let me

tell you what to do. Your attorney is right provided you could show that your marriage was entered into for love and not solely to obtain immigra-tion benefits. There are various ways to remove the condition on your green card even when your spouse refuses to cooperate or when you have actually divorced your spouse. In your case you will need to gather all joint docu-ments, pictures, bank statements, utility bills, etc issued during the life of the marriage. With all these documents, your attorney will determine whether

Mr. Famuyide,I am so appreciative of the way you take the initiative

to deal with our immigration questions and provide much needed answers. Thank you. I migrated to the United States two years ago, leaving behind a

very loving fiancé (whom I was told not to marry be-fore migrating, or it would mess up the immigration proceedings). Now I plan to go back and get married, the aches and pains of being apart for such a long time is becoming un-bearable. How soon can I file immigration papers for him, so that we can be together? How long will it take for him to be a permanent resident? Thanks for your response.

Thanks for your mail. You really need to go ahead and marry your fiancé. It is better to marry than to burn. I can tell you really miss him. Before you travel abroad, kindly consult with an attorney and get the necessary forms for your proposed spouse to sign as

soon as you are married. Once you return to the U.S., you can file form I-130 for your spouse. If you remain a permanent resident alien, it will take about 5years before your spouse obtains his green card to migrate to the U.S., but since you have been in the U.S. for 2years, you could apply to become a U.S. citizen 3years from now. If you become a citizen, you will upgrade the filing. From the time of the upgrade, your spouse should be in the U.S. about 6 months later. It means you could be together fully in about three and half years from now.

Dear Mr. Famuyide,May the Almighty God reward your selfless services to the im-

migrant community, Amen. You know, you could have been making fortunes from consultation fees for your in-valuable counsel to the community, but you

chose otherwise. At last there’s a Christian ‘Naija man’ out there who really is his ‘brothers’ keeper. Now my question: I came to the US in June 2002 as a visitor on a 2-yr multiple visa. I filed for change of status in June 2003, after my mar-riage. Unfortunately, my wife refused to attend the interview which led to the denial of my petition in July 2005. On the advice of my attorney, I divorced her, remarried and filed a fresh petition in Nov. 2005. On April 18, 2006, my wife and I were interviewed. The interview was successful but the officer could not give a verdict because according to her, she did not know what information was in my old file. My lawyer even assured me that my becoming a per-manent resident was a matter of weeks. Now, years after the interview, I still have not heard from the USCIS and my work permit has been renewed couple of times. I have made several enquiries but have always received same answer: “There were reasons to carry out an extensive investigation” on my case, but the reasons have never been disclosed to me. My Nigerian lawyer has not been much of a help either. He is lack-ing in professional judgment and competence, he now results to lying to cover up his lapses. What could USCIS be investigating for these years? Is it advisable to enlist the services of a ‘good’, white immigration lawyer to follow up on my case as I am contemplating? Your kind response will be highly appreciated. God bless you

Many thanks for your kind words and prayer. I really need them all. I was impressed by your comments until you turned the gun on your lawyer, the black race and Nigerian professionals. I do admit that we have lawyers,

just like we have among other Nationals, who are not doing the right thing, but blaming your lawyer in this case is like going over the top. I read your mail and found no fault in the lawyer; you really need to apologize to this lawyer. I assume that you are a professional, if you claim that a particular lawyer is ineffectual because he is a Nigerian. It simply means that you are incompetent in whatever you do. Think about that. You could have made your point with-out adding “Nigerian” or “White” to your question. It is highly offensive to the black race and to Nigerian professionals at large to insinuate that “whites” are more competent. I will not answer your question until you apologize to your lawyer and all Nigerian professionals. I challenge you to be courageous enough to send us your apology.

Dear Editor:

I have been a subscriber to your newspaper since December 2007. I find the printed material quite informative and I congratulate you for the good work. I am sub-

mitting to you the following personal request for information and help. My wife who is a legal immigrant since 2001 lost her can-celed passport which contained all pertinent information about her trips for several years. She will be applying for citizenship this year and she has no other source of accurate information for the exact dates of her trips abroad and dates of return. How can she prove her trips when filing the application form for Natural-ization and also during the interview? I wonder if the attorney for the ASK THE LAWYER column has seen a case like this before and if he can advise us ASAP Cordially yours,

HCZC, MDThanks for your mail and kind comment about our news-

paper. There is an important requirement for naturalization and that is the fact that anyone who aspires to become a U.S. citizen must be a person of good moral character. An appli-

cant could be adjudged to lack good moral character on many grounds. For example, anyone who owes IRS and has no payment plan is a person lacking in good moral character. It is not only criminals that are denied citizenship. You have taken the first and most important step of asking this question be-fore filing. Your wife would need to do the following: she needs to remember as much as she can with regards to her trips abroad in the last five years. Sec-ondly, she should include in her application, a copy of the police report saying she lost her passport and a sworn statement that she could not recollect ac-curately exact dates of her trips abroad. It is important that she does not claim to have lost her passport in order to hide something because the USCIS has a documentation of all her trips in her green card record. Whatever information she supplies will be compared with the USCIS record. I will recommend that your wife engage an attorney to do this filing and attend the interview with her.

office in your district.Homework Helps your Child do Better in SchoolQ. My son entered 4th grade this school year and he has so much homework already. It takes him hours to com-plete his homework and he gets tired while I get frus-trated. Why do teachers give so much homework and is homework really neces-sary? Who should I talk to about the volume of home-work? Frustrated ParentA. You are not alone in this dilemma. When parents get home from work, the last thing they want to do is hours of homework with their children especially if a child is having difficulty with a particular subject. First let’s discuss the purpose of homework and its benefits. An article entitled Helping Your Child With Home-work by Nancy Paulu from

KidSource.com, provides the following reasons why teachers give homework. Homework can help chil-dren: Review and practice what they’ve learned; Get ready for the next day’s class; Learn to use resources, such as libraries, reference materials and encyclope-dias; and Explore subjects more fully than time permits in the classroom. Homework helps your child do better in school when assign-ments are meaningful, are completed success-fully, and are returned with constructive comments from the teacher. An as-signment should have a specific purpose, come with clear instructions, be fairly matched to the child’s abilities, and de-signed to help develop a student’s knowledge and skills. Teachers often use homework as a way of

observing whether stu-dents have grasped a concept or not. Then he/she knows whether he/she needs to review further or can move on to a new concept.

So how much home-work should a student receive? Many educators believe that homework is most effective for the ma-jority of children in 1st through 3rd grade when it does not exceed 20 minutes each school day. From 4th through 6th grade, many educators recommend from 20 to 40 minutes a school day for most students For students in 7th through 9th grades, generally, up to 2 hours a school day is considered suitable.Of course some children can handle more and others struggle to keep up. Parents have to judge whether their child is the only child who is taking a long time to complete tasks or is mainly one subject that takes so

long. If your son is struggling in only one subject, ask that teacher for extra help or consider a tutor. If he is struggling in all subjects, ask the teacher if he is having difficulty in his classes also. If he is doing well in class but not in homework, it is probable that he is tired and getting to bed late after doing home-work. This can become a bad cycle. Observe whether your son can do the work but he is wasting time (watching TV, going to the bathroom etc.). Give him specific times when you expect homework to begin and to be complet-ed. Reward him when he meets the goal. If you still believe that there is just too much homework, you need to make an appointment and speak to his teacher. If your concerns are not appreciated, you may have to speak with the principal.Lisa-Anne Ray-Byers is a licensed and certified speech-language patholo-
