A few interesting articles about this I found here, here and here. They mainly seem to be about Cambodian immigrants but I guess the issue is the same for Lao ones too.

I wish...but nothing.. There are fews pictures, and it is not what some might think. It's not little tents, but actually a community like. I'll ask my parent when I'm home.

He was a baby when he came with his family. Apparently, getting all the paper work in order for him never happened. As time went on it just never was done. The rest of the family's paper work is in order. So what I am trying to say is make sure all the paper work with immigration is correct.
Just because a person grew up in one place all their life and was assumed to be from an area is not enough. I don't know how long it will take for them to straighten out the paper work. Now he is at home. They had to put up some big $ to get him out of confinement while waiting for the case to be heard. Deported means to be sent back to a person's birth place. The case is a hearing to determine if the person is allowed to stay or go. |
well, i check you on the list for a gastronomic tour...
I recapitulate: harry ok if no chicken, tok ok i am sure he is greedy, shoreuz ok, Diana yes i make a promise, peanutbutter ok, makiy0 ok if i am not scottish or a particular australian forumer... ( curious this stingy reputation). Well i think it will be more profitable if i bought a restaurant! But we do not count when we are with nice and openminded people. More people and i can only offer you a Mac donald's restaurant... lol http://www.thailandguidebook.com/iB_...ons/tounge.gif |
Khan what do you remember about the camps? Any stories to share?http://www.thailandguidebook.com/iB_...cons/smile.gif

I won't claim to know the terrain well but from what I understand of post-9/11 actions by our immigration authorities, they are paying closer attention to students with expired visas and hope to track them much better than they had in the past. Nevertheless, I hear that they are still too understaffed to monitor everybody with an expired visa (in the meantime they are improving their tracking database). But certainly don't take my word for it. Check around (e.g., on the internet) for info on this. Maybe calling an immigration attorney might help -- they can give you some free advice & consultation on the first call and charge you later if you need more involved assistance. Would it help if I told you not to commit an aggravated felony or a crime of moral turpitude? :-)

rclaimo, having re-read that your friend is from Laos, here's another tidbit. Most every country in the world has agreements (or treaties?) that will let the US send a felon/deportee back to their country of origin. The country exceptions to this can be counted on one hand. Two of those exceptions are Laos and Cuba (and I think Viet Nam also). Since Laos will refuse to take back a US felon of Lao birth citizenship, the attorney in SD told me that the felon will most usually reside indefinitely in an immigration confinement prison until the US immigration authorities decide what to do with him (or her). It sounds like your friend's family was extremely fortunate (money has a way of doing that) to get him out during the pre-hearing phase.
Based on what the attorney did not tell me (by default), US felons of Thai origin without US citizenship would get deported back to Thailand. I wonder what happens to them after that. |
Youths migrating to Thailand
After this trip, I realised that I do not love my home country as much as I do Thailand. So everytime I make a trip there, I have to bear the blues of having to return home. I hate the feeling. I want to know how possible it is for a young person, 24-28, to migrate to Thailand. This hypothetical young person is able to speak Thai fluently, looks Thai and has a law degree in the premier university of Singapore.
Will this non-Thai person be able to get a good-paying job in Thailand, have problems getting permanent residentship, blend into society? People with experience are especially welcome to post! http://www.thailandguidebook.com/iB_...cons/smile.gif |

Next time you're in Perth let me know, and I'd treat you (oblogation free). Don't let that "one" particular Australian forumer spoil our good reputation. cheers http://www.thailandguidebook.com/iB_...smiley-042.gif |
Ummm ! Being about 6000 miles from the place of my birth and growing up, I don' t really miss the "land". Food maybe and definitly miss being close to family. Now I have my own family and keep in touch with the rest. As long as one can be creative in their thinking and learn how to use the words of the "law" I think it is possible. One thing to think about is the political situation where one desires to live. http://www.thailandguidebook.com/iB_...ticons/wow.gif http://www.thailandguidebook.com/iB_...ticons/wow.gif http://www.thailandguidebook.com/iB_...ticons/wow.gif http://www.thailandguidebook.com/iB_...ns/biggrin.gif

With a felony being committed within the White House itself, i.e., the exposure of CIA operative Valerie Plame, has anyone noticed how diligently this faith-based, "Character-is-everything" administration has sought out the perpetrators of this crime (about as diligently as OJ Simpson is looking for the killers of his ex-wife)? Exposure of Plame's role may have already meant the death(s) of some of her associates back in Europe and Africa. Oh, and I wonder if the perps will be as harshly punished as the Cambodian who urinated behind the gas station.

Hi Chai,
I'm just wondering, how fluent is fluent? http://www.thailandguidebook.com/iB_...cons/smile.gif I guess it is alot harder to grasp reading thai than speaking thai, so does that mean that gaining residency in Thailand depends alot on reading? If so, I have to wait a loooonngg time. Hehe. |
My friend's son was born in Lao and came to Hawaii with his family at a very early age.. As he grew up he went through some times that were kind of wild,. Got into some trouble and such. Now he cleaned up his life. Some how immigration looked him up. Since coming to the US ,going to school , working he passed through some cracks in the system. He never became a naturalized citizen . Now he is waiting for his case to come up and has a chance of being deported.
|
I too am not a naturalized citizen. What do you mean by deported? And what is the case, being a immigrant?

I'm thinking about getting my US citizen sometime in the next year. But, lets say you are an exchange student, and your grade wasn't good enough or for some other reason, you drop out of school and is still in the US, and your visa expired. What will happen to you then? My long distance relative had this situation and was arrested, but my granni bail him out. But what will happen after that? Do he have a chance to renew his visa? I don't want to get into this discussion with him. So I just asked here. |

With the "patriot" act now in effect, If they are merely accused of terrorism, they have no legal rights to defend themselves. I read another case about this 20-something year old guy that was deported for a misdemeanor he had already done his time for, to Cambodia. He didn't speak a word of Khmer. He was an American kid, disowned by the political policies of his adopted Motherland, doomed to abject poverty in a country where he doesn't even know the language. So sad:( |
If this hypothetical young person is of Thai nationality, speaks Thai fluently, and graduated from a university overseas, then hypothetically, yes, s/he should be able to get a job. As for how much the pay will be, or if the job will even be in the field of law, I cannot answer that. Lawyers do not typically make a lot of money in Thailand, unlike lawyers in the USA.

I would not miss Australia if I left, It is not the land of milk and honey any more. I just stay here because of my family & Friends. MakiyO Thailand is a great countyis that is your goal, but haven traveled all over Europe Asia and North America, I have discovered there is No countries better than, Japan, and if you don't mind the cold weather Norway and Finland are just as good.
