Before you can immigrate to the US LEGALLY, you have to have at least 1 and many times 2 full physicals by US government approved doctors.
You are required to take vaccinations up the butt and even if you can prove you have had said vaccinations, you are required to take them again.
If you test positive for TB you are required to remain in your home country and have treatment for TB. You are not allowed to immigrate LEGALLY until you have been declared free of TB.
The government doctors also check all tats for any that could possibly be related to any gang activity. If they suspect any gang activity you cannot LEGALLY immigrate.
To immigrate LEGALLY you are required to have police documents from every country you have visited in the last (5?) years stating you did not commit a crime in that country while you were there.
There are other documents you must have before you can immigrate LEGALLY. These are off the top of my head.
It took 10 years and $100,000 to get our DIL legally into the US and for her to become a US citizen.
Immigration laws are very intricate and the smallest mistake can cost you thousands of dollars and years of waiting. Also, US immigration laws are different depending upon the country you are coming from and their are crooked lawyers all over the place happy to take your money and screw you over. Our first $10,000 went to one of those lawyers, a former government immigration official.
Bottom line...it is not the LEGAL immigrants who are causing the problem, they are required to jump through hoops and hoops and more hoops...duh!
Most of what you listed my wife did not have to do to get her green card or the initial entry visa. It may have been because I was military - plus this was back in ‘94.
It's from age 16...they did this to my 80 year old mother.
