I am thinking to marry her in scotland to avoid the paperwork. Does this give her any right to stay in the UK with me? I am considering going back to china with her and then apply for a marriage or fiancee visa once there to re-enter the uk but I am concerned that because she is currently here with an expired visa she will be rejected any future requests to enter the UK. As a worst case I would move to china with her but I am worried we will never be able to come back. Hope someone can help me who may know a little more or actually have experience of this - Thanks.

A few years ago, my husband got his wallet stolen (with his DL and SS card in it) in a border town in Mexico. We always joke about an illegal living in the US under his name, but it really is starting to worry me. Is there any way to check your Social Security Number to see what it is being used for?

After all they came HERE we didn't go there.
Management at my fathers company recently informed there Bosses that if they wanted to advance within the company they would be required to learn Spanish. One man stood up and asked Why can't THEY learn English?.
WHY should US Citizens be forced to learn Spanish? Last time I checked we didn't go to Mexico to steal Jobs and I'm sure if we did they wouldn't be learning English to accomidate us.

This 22 year old woman was here since she was 7 years old she has no legal status,has 2 kids and recently was diagnosed with breast and cervical cancer.
She entered a raffle at a spanish radio station .
The price was a 1999 Corvet donated from a famous Mexican/American singer.
The only rule was to be present at time of drawing.
Well she won the car but the radio station lawyer told her tha t if she claim her price He will call U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement to get her deported.
The radio station is the one that organized the "famous" march of people last year.

In a separate incident this month,Toys R Us agreed to award a chinese american infant born in New York a 25,000 prize in a New Year's baby contest after the company was criticized for disqualifying the girl because her mother was (is) an illegal immigrant from china.

Do you think the radio station should give this poor woman (now she is in hiding because she is afraid), the car she won?

Hi :)

I posted this question in both the immigration and the military forum because my question is kinda part of both categories.
My name is Drew and I came the United States when I was 6 years old. I grew up in US and I joined the U.S. Marine Corps when i was 18 years old. I have been a permanent resident for a 14 years, and I've been a Marine for 2 of them. Until recently I never bothered to become an official citizen because it wasn't a priority. Now I think I would like to become one, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I was planning to talk with my CO but it's currently 0200 where I am. I tried reading up on the USCIS website, but I don't really know how to find the information I'm looking for. I was told that since I'm a member of the U.S. military my process to become a citizen will take less time. Is this true? Anyways, Any information somebody could provide me would greatly be appreciated

Thx

She is a sophomore in college in Mexico, but she would like to stay in the U.S. and finish. Can she do that, and would she have to pay more because she is not a citizen?

Why cant we have a wall like East Berlin had? People were scared to get close to it for fear of being shot, wouldn't that solve the problem? The gaurds could use "sandbag" rounds, and/or pit bulls. That would force people to enter the US legally.

What are your ideas for a stronger southern border?

I think that any immigrant should be required to learn English, it they live here longer than three months they should have to pay taxes, and obey our laws or else, they go back to their country of origin. If I went to Mexico, France, etc I would be expected to speak their language to transact with their citizens. It should be the same in USA. No social security cards should be issued until they are U.S. citizens, I have no problem with immigrants coming to the U.S.A., as long as they obey the laws and assimilate to our ways. Not saying that they have to forget about their heritage. Just, be a proud, paritotic American, before,and after they are a U.S. citizen.

I applied for my fiance's visa and got the initial approval letter. it has a time frame on there from 12.27.06 to 04.27.07. Does this mean my fiance has to come to the united states by 4.27.07? Or does it mean that he has to get his Visa stamping and interview by then? If it means he has to get his visa stamping, how long is the stamping for?

Can you explain to me why you think that it is ok for my brothers construction business to go under?

My brother had a construction business that, at one time, was doing very well. Then his competitors starting using illegals, paying $75 a day under the table, and started under bidding him since they were using such cheap labor.

Well long story short, my brother couldn't compete, nor would he be a sell out and do as they were doing.

Can you explain why you support illegals putting Americans out of business? When you say that those people have families to think about, do you not think of the families (of YOUR fellow countrymen) and how this effects them? Do you not care? What about what this is doing to HIS family and HIS children?

How can you justify supporting people that do this to other citizens of your own country?

This is a very true story and this is the main reason (although there are many others) that I am against ANY type of amnesty.

Many illegals have gone to the doctor leaving Americans to pay the bill. What can we do stop this, without dening them medical attention? Does anyone know what Canada's policies are when a non-citizen goes to the doctor? Im shocked that our government has done nothing so far, so lets come up with some ideas for them. Time to brain storm people.
