A better idea than to try to refile the case now or file it in the different state may be to hire a criminal attorney if you have not already done so since such an attorney may be able to resolve the issue in some other way than waiting two years for a court date. Once the criminal issue is resolved, you should be able to re-file his immigration case.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
