Once again you have chosen to ignore requests not to post your questions here. Please respect this if you want to continue to participate on the forum.
(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
