Hmm as i understand it his previous lawyer advised him to seek the greencard, which, in of itself is wrong, as you cannot apply for it within the country if already there on another migrant Visa! If you are to receive (unsolicited or if you don't apply) its a different matter, so if anything the money wasn't wisely spent in the first place. Also sometimes freedom house provides free legal advice and the detainer, as i understand it, in conjunction with other protocols and ratified ammendments to the Vienna treaty the detention facility
must provide the detainee a list of possible pro bono attorneys/public defenders who may take their case. And unless that too has been takem off the books then he does have some hope there. And he must hve access to them (ones tht will accept reverse call charges).

Remember, "rights" in the US have a price tag. I believe the 5th Amendment is around $2,257,800 per case (last I checked).

What? Where did you pull that out of? You're a funny gal for the most part, but serously, sometimes leave the grown ups to discuss important issues.
