I'm sorry, but not all of these people are telling the truth about their Aslym cases, and I'm sure these ATTORNEY'S are awear of such false information that they are getting from their clients. So many of these people simply are not honest, and will and are doing absolutely anything. I personally know of a person from Islamic Republic ( African), that would NEVER tell the truth, in fact this person has done some pretty awful things while in the U.S, including fraudulent activities, government involved ( miss use of ), and these are the people our ATTORNEY'S are representing. What does that say about our system ? Law's need to be advised, and FAST.
