: Hey Mista,
Before pointing to others, display your Email address at least.
: Dear Ms. Durbak:
: Some of your answers are completely incorrect. They clearly indicate that you are unfamiliar with some of the basic concepts of the U.S. immigration law.
: What makes you believe that citizenship governs in terms of the DV lottery? What makes you think a DV-2003 winner must enter the U.S. by the end of FY-2003? Do you
conduct a research before posting an advice?
: Have you EVER read the INA 203(c)? 22 CFR 42.33? 9 FAM 42.33? Have you seen any DOS or INS regulations on the subject?
: Are you a member of AILA? Do you use AILA Link? IRIS? Are you subscribed to the Interpreter Releases? Immigration Briefings? What conferences or specialized workshops have you attended recently? What handbooks your professional library is comprised of? How often do you update them? Have you authored any professional publication? Do you have recommendations from top AILA members? What is the address of your web site? How can someone review your career history or verify your credentials?
: Being a good immigration attorney does not mean that you just practice the immigration law. Instead of hunting for a potential client on the Internet, a good lawyer invests in his or her education or business, as it is impossible to practice and keep abreast with the legislative changes without spending their time and money.
: Although everyone is free to post their messages on this board, you are (or claim to be) an immigration attorney. Therefore, your opinion may have a very serious influence on someone's decision. A person who relies solely on your advice can possibly have his or her immigration case ruined. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you refrain from posting misleading information in the future.
: Please also re-read the code of legal ethics so you could understand why other attorneys normally note that their advices are not of a legal nature and do not create an attorney-client relationship.
: I believe it is your responsibility to reconsider some of your recent posts and resubmit the amended advices.
