What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? FL Is a pending case in the INS database available for review? I know, for example, that a criminal or civil case can be reviewed through the local County Clerk office. Does such accessibility exist with INS? Thank you.

Many thanks for the information, Ladynred. One last question........will I be advised of what is happening? Or, will I suddenly be alerted to proceedings AFTER the fact? As for my assets, no, of course they don't have that info. However, obtaining it isn't very difficult. Running an asset...
