Can a convicted felon still sponsor an alien for citizenship?
As a US citizen, you can sponsor an alien for U.S. Green Card for the the immediate relatives of a U.S. citizen, such as: parents, spouses and children (who are unmarried and under 21 years of age) of a U.S. citizen. You can also sponsor married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens; and brothers/sisters of U.S. citizens, including their spouses and their minor children. But as a convicted felon, most likely you are in jail, with little or no income. So it is difficult for you to "sponsor" an alien financially. The USCIS Form I-864 - Affidavit of Support is required for family-sponsored immigration. An affidavit of support is a guarantee to U.S. government that an immigrant will not become a public charge. The affidavit could be offered by the petition sponsor or someone who could provide financial assistance to the immigrant in the event that such help would be necessary. All petitioners, regardless of whether or not they have been working or living in the U.S. since the past three years, must submit a notarized Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, for the beneficiaries of the petitions.
What is the difference between a felon and a x felon?
A felon is someone who committed a felony(More serious crime) An ex felon is someone who has finished parole and is back in society.
Sorry, that is incorrect. "Ex-felon" is a grossly, almost always misused term. A person who was in prison on felony charges but is now out of prison is still a felon. The only way to be an ex-felon is to have been acquitted of the charges.
I should also add that an expungement does not make you an ex-felon either. An expungement simply means the felony is no longer on your PUBLIC record. Also, a felon can sometimes have his rights restored, but that doesn't make you an ex-felon either.
How long does it take the court to discharge a Chapter 13?
Chapter 13's last from 3 to 5 years, during which time the debtor makes payments on his or her Chapter 13 Plan (see 11 U.S.C. 1322(d)). Once the Plan is paid in full, the Court will normally issue the Discharge "[a]s soon as practicable after completion by the debtor of all payments under the plan...." (11 U.S.C. 1328(a)). Normally debtors receive their Discharge 30 to 60 days after the Plan is paid off. In some cases a Chapter 13 discharge can be issued prior to the Plan being completed pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 1328(b) if something happened that kept the debtor from being able to finish the Plan and other criteria are met, but this is rare. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.

A convicted felon can, of course, write a will.
Their property isn't forfeit after death, unless they owe some particular sum of money.

Unless it resulted in financial debt, the crime has no impact on their estate.
Is a felon allowed to practice law in Pennsylvania?
Unable to answer specifically, but more than likely not. You will have to contact the Pennsylvania State Bar Association to determine the OFFICIAL answer to this question.
This answer is not entirely accurate. The ABA is generally more interested in your ability to be frank and candid, rather than any misgivings you might have in your past. If you were admitted to law school, the school likely believes that the event happened sufficiently long ago or there is some reason that it could be "explained."
Also, the ABA may impose certain rehabilitative requirements on you (such as counseling, drug testing, as appropriate, etc.) or you may be given a probation period.

Can a person get parole for manslaughter?
YES. Parole is the continuation of a sentence after being released early from prison. So if someone had a 15 year sentence they could be paroled early for good behavior and then finish out the remainder of the 15 years on the street.
Supervision outside of prison would just be like on probation, with the added risk that any violations will result in the convict going back to jail.
Specifically for manslaughter though, yeah it is still possible and it happens frequently. The amount of time inside will depend on the nature of the crime itself and how well the convict does in prison for the parole board to recommend release.

Can a convicted felon posses a blackpowder weapon?
The previous answer is inaccurate and misguiding. A felon is not allowed to own or posses a firearm under the 1968 gun control act; however, under the provisions of this law, a weapon that was manufactured on or before 1898 or a reproduction of this weapon, as long as it does not chamber a centerfire or rimfire cartridge (aka blackpowder) is not classified as a "firearm" and can be legally obtained by a person covicted of a felony. There are many state and local laws concerening this also, so check into it extensively before you obtain the weapon.

Unlike other criminal cases, a probation violation hearing is not tried before a jury. Instead, the judge presides over the case during a bench trial. The judge does not use the "reasonable doubt" standard to consider the guilt of the defendant. In probation violation cases, the standard of proof is a "preponderance of evidence," meaning the judge will determine guilt if the prosecutor shows that it is "more likely than not" that you violated your probation.
The consequences for a felony probation violation depend on the circumstances of the alleged violation, previous criminal history, and recommendation by your assigned probation supervisor. If you are found guilty of a probation violation, you can find yourself facing arrest with no right to bond, on top of charges for any criminal offense committed while on probation. The time you have already served for probation may also not count towards your sentence. For particularly serious probation violations, the judge may have you serve out your original sentence and even enter a guilty conviction if your adjudication was initially withheld.
What happens if you gave one dirty pee test on supervised probation?

All US states and territories honor each other's requests for extradition - there are no 'safe-haven' states - it is impossible to say whether a particular state will choose to extradite you or not, there are simply too many variables.

Can two felons live together if one is on parole?
No, it is illegal for two convicted felons to reside in the same place. They are not even supposed to spend time together outside of the home. If convicted felon #1 got pulled over for something felon#2 could go to jail for guilt by association. The only "loop hole" I know of is if two or more convicted felons were in a vehicle together and had some type of Alchoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous material such as books, pamphlets, journals etc, they would be OK obviously as long as they weren't doing anything illegal! The drug/alcohol recovery material is their reasoning as to why they are together.
Another answer:
If the terms of either's probation or parole prohibit contact with other convicted felons, no.
Another thought:
As to the first answer, that won't hold up because anyone could throw AA books in their car and claim they're going to a meeting. No way will a judge let that go. but I don't know the rules about association. However, convicted felons may live together if they are married and the terms and conditions of parole/probation allow for it. It all comes down to that. I suspect that even if two felons are married, if the judge says no, he can enforce it. If they are not married but terms and conditions as set down by judge/parole/probation agent allow a specific couple to reside together, it would only apply to those specific people. The only thing that can be done is to be completely open and honest with judge/PO and find out what is allowed and what isn't as per each individuals terms and conditions.
A biased jury already believes someone is right without hearing the other side of the story.
