if i am a US Lawyer who visited in tijuana mexico, however, by accident I lost my green card all i have is bar certification that I brought with me. Can I enter the border in Mexico going in to california where I reside?
Hi Adrie,
Without your green card, re-entering the U.S. may be challenging. However, as a U.S. resident, you should contact the nearest U.S. consulate in Tijuana for assistance. They can help you with documentation to return home.
U.S. Consulate General Tijuana
Phone: +*-*-*-*
Address: Paseo de las Culturas s/n, Mesa de Otay, Delegación Centenario, * Tijuana, B.C., Mexico
Website: https://mx.usembassy.gov/embassy-consulates/tijuana/ can they not consider my credential as lawyer in United States?
Hi Adrie,
Unfortunately, your bar certification alone may not be sufficient for re-entry into the U.S. You would need proper documentation such as a green card or assistance from the U.S. Consulate General in Tijuana to facilitate your return.
I am a lawyer in the US whopractice for 13years, a permanent resident, However, after returning to the Philippines for emergency family reason due to our ancestal land being taken illegaly by some people, I overstayed my stay in the Philippines for 11 years for the reason that is not intentional, but due to my long weird kind of illness, after 11 years, I recovered, and Tried applying for a returning resident visa SB1, But I was denied without explanation, or even without considering my supporting documents. Now, I intend to file a case against consular Officer who denied my application in bad-faith without explaining to mwe the grounds of denial and without looking for the evidence I presented during the interview. I intend to file it in the Federal District Court in Cas Diego, California. my question? am I not allowed to appear at the Federal District Court of San Diego California?
Hi Adrie, filing a case against a consular officer for denial of a visa application falls under consular nonreviewability, meaning courts generally cannot review these decisions. Regarding your ability to appear, you may need to consult with an ****migration attorney to explore legal options and ensure proper representation in the Federal District Court of San Diego, California.
Is there any other specific aspect of your situation you would like guidance on?
Suppose, I will file that complaint at the Federal District Court, and accepted. Am I allowed to appear thereat?
Hi Adrie,
If your complaint is accepted by the Federal District Court in San Diego, California, you may be allowed to appear there. However, due to the complexity of ****migration and legal proceedings, consider consulting an ****migration attorney for precise guidance on your rights and the proper process.
Is there anything else you need assistance with?
Well, to elaborate--and as a lawyer, I believed the violated my rights under the Law?
Hi Adrie,
I understand your situation is complex. Could you clarify if you are seeking guidance on your rights under U.S. ****migration law regarding the denial of your SB1 visa application, or are you looking for information on filing a case in Federal District Court? This will help me provide you with the most relevant information.
yes, I would like it.
