Yes, if you look on the INS website they list something like four different areas in which non-citizens are questioned when they interview the country. One is a medical history,one has to do with reason for being in the country, another I think has to do with terrorism, etc. I dont recall exactly what they are and I have already wasted too much time here given that your mind is made up.
You neglect to point out in that INS document that you are quoting is from last year. What they voted on is no different than what was law last year other than the dates which is all Sabretooth posts.
Additionally, that document also lists two or three other things beyond inspection that could make 245(i) of possible interest to someone attempting to change their status. Also the statement doesnt guarantee that you will be given a green card. It just allows you to be considered rather than having to leave the country and wait from three to ten years to apply.
You also neglect to point out that those receiving this "amnesty" had to have their application for change of status in several months ago and they have to be otherwise elligible for change of status. No terrorists or people with criminal backgrounds need apply.
Whats your problem with this other than Tancredo and his ilk says this is going to cause the hordes of mongrols to totally wipe out Civilization as we know it?
You seem quite fuzzy on what the INS regulations mean. I'm quite sure that the INS doesn't know what it means either. LOL.
