Do i sign an agreement regarding confidentiality and role of mediator that my lawyer sent me a month before mediation on adobe sign... for a personal injury lawsuit
Whether to sign a particular agreement or not depends on the language of the agreement and should be discussed with your lawyer.

On Dec 23rd, 2020, my friends and I traveled to Alaska for fun, but the driver accidentally drove into the military base.

This is unfortunate, but a mistake was made by your irresponsible friend. Now, the USCIS seems unwilling to devote time to reasonably adjudicate the EAD OPT applications. I suspect that no action will be taken any time soon. You really ought to hire experienced counsel, not dabble with a pro se... Read more »
The roommate doesn't have a lease or anything in writing. We're concerned she may not leave because she doesn't have the means but we need to be able to access the house to prepare it for sale. We need to know what our rights are as the estate administrators.

I have an asylum case in the immigration court( my hearing date is in 2023), I'm wondering if I get hired from a company, can I transfer my case to an H-1B visa?
The answer to that depends on how you entered the US before you sought asylum.
If you came in without a proper visa, that is entered the US without inspection, you will not be able to do that.
At the same time, if you entered the US with a visitor or a student visa and those are not... Read more »

You need to consult a licensed immigration counsel as there are many pitfalls in that fact pattern. You do not have the luxury of making a mistake with that case.
A Washington attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. You could get in touch with medical malpractice attorneys. Most law firms that handle such cases offer free initial consults. If a firm felt there was a basis for a case, they could request your surgical records... Read more »

I am not a citizen of the US but I am in the middle of my application for my green card. Just got my biometrics appointment!!
Thank you for your question. More information is needed to better answer your question. You note that you had your biometrics taken. What was that for?
My public defender convinced me taking a strike 1 vehicular assault was more so in my best interest than a dui charge and now 10 years later I’d really like to not be a violent felon!
It probably depends on how the case was charged and plead. Vehicular Assault is a class B felony, so ten years would be the waiting period to vacate. But there are three different ways to commit the crime of Vehicular Assault, my opinion is that one of them is eligible to vacate but the other two... Read more »
I was told by a local police precinct when I was 16 that I had an active/open case with them. They won’t tell me what it’s about. How do I know if it’s still open? I’m 19 now and haven’t been contacted by anyone ever since. Never went to court or charged with anything.
Contact an experienced criminal defense attorney and he/she could help you. Do it now for peace of mind

Requesting to postpone an asylum hearing would be a mistake. You are asking the same fact pattern worded differently in other posting, without realizing that you will damage your personal case and your future in the United States acting without an experienced legal advice.
I have an asylum case in the immigration court( my hearing date is in 2023) and I'm going to marry a USC. I'm wondering will immigration investigate marriage in my case?

USCIS, not the immigration court, will examine the bona fide merits of your marriage to ensure it's a real and not a fake marriage. There are many different types of evidence they request and expect.
