jury duty
Last night, i got a letter from the subordinate courts, a subpoena to appear in person at the court for "wilfully" ignoring two previous letters to respond as a potential juror. i ignored the first letter, thinking it was a mistake. i put in a good faith effort to respond to the second online, where i was told by my American computer that i couldn't, because i am not American. And now, i am to explain in person, not online, why i failed to carry out my civic duties (green card or no green card), or face a fine of US$250. Has this happened to anyone else?

just make a copy of your passport with your visa on it and send to them, to let them know of your status is an ALIEN.
now they're saying MUST appear in person because i didn't respond to the last two.
How does one prove that one's not a citizen? Interesting...
show them your work papers and they will know.
just say very slowly to them "no ... spik ... engrish"
ya, keep speaking in hokkien to them - if they give u a Mandarin translator, keep speaking Hokkien...non stop. i know someone used a similar trick just to avoid paying hospital bills! kekeke~~
aiya, i went, and all they did was take that offensive letter from me, shrug, and said, "ok, you can go." that was it. silly.
