Hoping red tape won’t snarl trip
TWO LONG ISLAND men made and sold their own dangerously addictive fentanyl pills, authorities said Thursday.
Daniel O’Neil and Frankie Morano were arrested inside a West Babylon garage-turned-pill mill on Wednesday, while wearing hazmat suits and respirator masks, the feds said.
The drugs looked like professionally manufactured oxycodone, which is about twice as potent as morphine. But the pills were actually fentanyl, which is 50 to 100 times more powerful than morphine, court papers said.
The case against O’Neil, 30, and Morano, 44, started with anonymous tip to law enforcement in May.
It came to a head on Wednesday, when a cooperating source went to the garage where he makes the drugs with O’Neil and Morano, and saw them with a plastic bag filled with between 50 and 100 grams of fentanyl.
A couple hours later, authorities got a search warrant for the spot and discovered the pair in their protective suits, prosecutors said.
AYou should be able to travel abroad this summer, but you won’t get your permanent card (valid for 10 years and renewable) before you leave. It’s taking USCIS more than a year to approve I-751 petitions and issue the permanent cards. However, you can travel with your conditional card before it expires. Or you can travel with the filing receipt from USCIS form I-751.
The receipt should note that USCIS has extended your conditional residence status one year. You should get a receipt two to three weeks after filing your petition.
If you leave before the receipt arrives, make sure someone can send it to you. USCIS grants two-year conditional residence status to immigrants who get their green cards through marriage within two years of that marriage. The conditional resident has all the rights and benefits of other permanent residents.
The conditional resident must petition to remove the condition in the 90 days before the conditional card expires.
Because of the long delays in processing I-751 petitions, the I-751 filing receipt includes notice of a one-year extension of conditional status. If that one year expires before USCIS approves the petition, the conditional resident can get USCIS to stamp an extension into their passport. To get the stamp, a conditional resident can make an Infopass appointment online at uscis.gov.
QAUSCIS no long requires that naturalization applicants submit photos with form N-400. USCIS will take the photos for that form when you go for your biometrics (fingerprinting) appointment. As for the requestor on form I-912, that’s you.
