Support America...Buy a CONGRESSMAN
Well, it is news to me. I've had some dealings with the INS in years back over some Australian friends. You wouldn't believe the hoops that the INS mae them jump through to stay -- all the time warning them to never DARE to speak to a Congressman or elected official about it, or it would mess things up. We were told that the State Department was very jealous of their authority and didn't like having elected officials mess in their business. That to contact an elected official would ensure that these people were deported.
We finally wrote a letter on their behalf to a well placed elected individual who knew them, and their green cards arrived promptly thereafter. Their bags were packed, their house was for sale, and they were ready to head to Canada to establish their business there when the green cards came through. It had been a 10 year fight.
Prior to our letter (which we had been told not to write) they had spent $50,000 on "immigration attorneys", had to sign over their business to someone else to run, and were kept waiting for days at INS in Houston while every Central American candidate just walked in with an application and out with the proper approvals after about an hour's wait. It was outrageous, and I feel more than ever that someone in the State Department or the Department of Commerce is running a scam.
