Registrasi Saya dapat beberapa cerita dari Lawyer ttg INS registration yg sudah dilaksanakan.Semoga berguna wassalam,Dwitra Zaky ------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri Jan 24, 2003 10:32 am Subject: Re: [INS-Registration] Charlotte, NC hi aamy i emailed this note to you last week. perhaps you didn't get it? well, here it is again: Elizabeth R. Edwards reported on 1/9/03 about INS DO Charlotte, North Carolina, that if the registrant has a pending I-485 that can be verified in the computer and there is no fraud or criminal issues, the individual will not be placed in proceedings or detained. If the I-485 is newly filed and therefore is not in the system and no receipt has been issued, there is a much greater likelihood the individual will be detailed and given an NTA. If an individual is out of status (whether they are 245(i) eligible or not) they will be given an NTA when they register. They may or may not be detained. INS DO stated late registrants will be detained, even if they are in valid nonimmigrant status, unless they can produce credible circumstances as to why they failed to register before the deadline.

Here are the examples of attorney's not being allowed to accompany their clients all the way through to investigations from the AILA office-by-office report. Most seem to have occurred early in the process, and often rectified. A couple of centers may still be problematic, such as New York, Denver, Bloomington, MN and Dulles. Arlington/Dulles, VA People attempting to register in Arlington are often told to go to Dulles airport. At Dulles, attorneys are not being allowed in the interview "because it is a secured area", and are told to go back to Arlington if they wish to have representation during the interview. Baltimore, MD Early on, attorneys were being barred from clients' interviews. Also was not marking I-94 cards of those who appeared. Bloomington, MN Three registrants taken into custody on 12/5. One had 245(i)-based adjustment pending and two were married to U.S. citizens with long- pending petitions. Handcuffed and separated from attorney. Threatened to set $10,000 bond, but eventually released on own recognizance at the end of the day. Boston, MA Early on, attorneys were allowed in interviews, but told that they could not say anything or participate in any way. Now full representation is being allowed. Denver, CO Client questioned without attorney present even though attorney had accompanied individual and was temporarily barred from the interview. New Orleans, LA Registrant denied right to counsel on 12/18. Office now made aware by attorney that there is a right to counsel in call-in registration. New York, NY Most registrants are questioned on the 3d floor, but those taken to Investigations are not allowed to have their attorneys with them. Oklahoma City, OK Attorney barred from interview. San Antonio, TX After some discussion about attorney being present (the officer said no, but after attorney reminded her that it was the law, she consulted with her supervisor, and attorney was allowed to remain with him)… Attorney also believes that the fact that an attorney was with him, and that he had possible relief, made a huge difference. Attorney believes if he hadn't been there, the scenario may have been different because they would have simply held him over the weekend and processed him on Monday, 1/13.
