I finally went to se an immigration lawyer yesterday. We consulted for about an hour and a half - poor M. After we were finished, she asked me how I managed to speak almost exclusively in acronyms and form numbers. Living under the gun of the INS makes you learn a lot of things. . .
It bothers me though, that this woman, who judging by her credentials is a very senior and experienced immigration lawyer, matter-of-factly sat back, threw her hands up in the air, and said "I don't know", to a bunch of my questions. I came out of the legalese session with the conclusion that Immigration Law, like filing your taxes, is not an exact science. . .
