Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida
Do I have a case is suing. 23 years ago John Changar was running an immigration application agency where he was filing for green card for immigrants. (Now is probably in other types of fraud but that�s a different story.) My father saw it as an opportunity to for me to come to the USA to live and study so he file the paper work through the agency not knowing John's operation was not legit (he was doing immigration fraud).
My dad was arrested for immigration fraud but was not deported, he was allow to stay in the USA for his visit but on his last visit he was told by an immigration officer that the next time he wanted to visit/enter the USA, he needed to bring a letter from the US Embassy.
My Dad usually visit my siblings and myself. My Dad went to the Embassy and started a series of meetings in order to get letter recommended by the immigration officer. The last was recently when they finally told him they cannot give him the letter and revoked his existing visa. Now he cannot come to visit us and his grand kids and it is very costly for us to take them to the country is in.
So do I have a case or am I wasting my time in suing for hardship for me and my family? Why should he pay for someone else illegal activities?
1 Answer from Attorneys
The claim, if any, had a statute of limitations of 4 years or potentially 5 years, from the date it occurred. It sounds like that statute has long ago expired. From a practical standpoint what value is there in pursuing a person who is doing illegal activities? he is not likely to be collectible at the time of judgment.
