Gurfinkel, Gel Santos-Relos and Atty. Mike Guingona as they bring your "passport to immigration information" from the Aloha State.

Especially featured on this week's episode is an exclusive interview with John Abram, the "Officer in Charge" in Manila.   Mr. Abram is the highest ranking USCIS official at the US Embassy in Manila, and is the one who decides, for visa applicants in the Philippines, whether or not to grant waivers (or forgiveness) for fraud, 3\10 year bars (if you overstayed in the US), etc.   He is also the one who approves the   "election" of applicants to retain their priority date in the F-2B category (single adult child of immigrant) when the petitioner naturalizes, under Section 6 of the Child Status Protection Act.   Listen to Mr. Abram, as he discusses the factors he considers in granting waivers, and other important pointers for visa applicants. This is a rare opportunity to get information directly from the source-USCIS.

On " Michael Matters ," Atty. Gurfinkel discusses how a seemingly innocent admission of drug use, even just a taste, years ago, can result in a lifetime ban.

On " CP House Calls ," Atty. Guingona meets Rudy and looks at his problem of aging out, and checks out what can be done to help him acquire his residency or citizenship.
