I’m about to launch the process to get my wife’s “Green card”. To do so, I have to pay the DHS, in two separate checks, around $1500, plus supply them with a large amount of personal data through various forms.
Why THE F*** are people like myself not IMMEDIATELY waived through, if illegals are going to get handed their papers like this?
Feelin’ yer pain.
My wife is steamed at this whole proposition (I’m a scary-calm oddity). She/we DID pay the $1500, inch thick stack of paperwork, interviews, delays, hoop-jumping, etc - so why do they get to just walk in? why are ideal cases made so hard, when outright criminal violations get a red carpet? Between this and other issues, I’m increasingly wondering “are things _really_ THIS screwed up? I know there’s some statistical/newsworthy anomalies, but is it all THIS extensive?”
I know how you feel. We spent thousands to get my husband a green card. It’s infuriating at all the hoops they make you jump through.....then they don’t enforce the law. Disgusting.
You need to be an oppressed minority in order to get special attention.
