Greetings.
I'm Carl Kurm of Kurm & Associates.
Little bit about me:
I used to live in New
York, and I worked as a DA.
Then a couple of months ago,
I looked in the mirror,
and I said to myself,
I need to switch some
things up before I turn .
You're under ?
Yeah, I'm .
Right, so me and my husband were hoping
to get me citizenship
sooner rather than later.
Mm.
How do you fit into this situation?
Oh, I'm her best friend.
That checks out.
Anyway, I have a buddy
who works for immigration.
- Let me make a phone call.
- Okay.
Really? Wow, okay.
Well, thanks a lot, buddy.
All right, bye.
That did not go well.
Turns out, he and I are not friends
and you guys have been
added to the USCIS watchlist.
- That's my bad.
- Wait, what does that mean?
That means that ICE may show
up at your home at any moment
to check that your
marriage is legitimate.
And what happens if we're not
living together when ICE shows up?
Well, I believe the legal
term is "instant deportation."
Cool, so you two will
be living together.
That's excellent.
You're a very supportive friend.
Well, the lawyer plan backfired.
Simone and Courtney
are on a watchlist now,
so they have to move in
together indefinitely.

my lawyer friend would do.
