Update: Struggles, New leads, and donations

                                            
Thank you very much for all the helpful Immigration recommendations.  I followed up and took 
meetings with four lawyers. The first one told me to come back when I am married to an American citizen. The second lawyer wanted me to apply for DACA program, which I unfortunately don't qualify for. The third lawyer recommended an appeal of my second criminal charge and wanted $15,000 upfront. That still doesn't solve my immigration status. 

The fourth lawyer asked me to obtain my records from the Sheriffs Department in Santa Clarita so we can refile for my green card.  My two trips to the Sheriffs Department were unsuccessful. Not only were they rude and not helpful, they sent me to various offices throughout Los Angeles. After two days of trying to obtain my records I ended up back at the Santa Clarita Sheriffs Office and was refused to be seen or talked to by the detective handling my case. 

I have now contacted a 5th attorney to help resolve my case. Our meeting has been successful and I think this is the perfect fit for me. He is working on gaining my green card by obtaining my records from Santa Clarita. In the past few weeks I have learned a lot about my case and did half the research for this current lawyer. He has lowered the price from what was quoted and will charge me  $5,000.

 I only have until August 1st and then I am returning home to finally see my daughter. I am remaining positive and hopeful that I will be successful in my quest to stay close to my child.

I am now looking for any donations for my lawyer fees.  If you feel it in your heart to give a dollar or more, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for all the donations so far.
