Immigration - November 2007

Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience....my fiance lives in the UK, I live in the US. We've had a relationship since May of 06, making relatively frequent visits back and forth to spend time with each other, and have been engaged since August. We are going to marry next Oct. here in the US, and will file for a spouse visa for me to go to the UK. I'll be going to visit for a few days in December and I'm nervous about passport control...when I'm asked what the purpose of my visit is, if I answer 'I'm visiting my fiance and his family' how will this be received? My instinct is to not go there at all and say 'I'm on holiday', etc., but I want to be truthful, and don't want to encounter problems. What's the best way to handle this?

Because by some of what I constantly read here the prevelance is "the illegal has no rights". Which is completely untrue. Should we ignore the constitution and remove the rights of illegals? What does that lead to?
bring on the hate mail.

Give illegal imigrants a chance to become citizens? or would you close the doors on them and try to get rid of as many imigrants as you can? We all see things differently, but many people dont understand what an illegal has to do to survive here in the us they risk there lives 4 a better future..Thank god that i was born her but i see so many illegals suffering in many ways..Theres so much hate in this world.. theres millions of people that dont want illegals here and are trying to get rid of them..so they close the door and make things much difficult for them to live..when everybody is just trying to survive until judgment comes..What is you honest opinion about them?does the us really dont need them? What would you do if you had d power to change this problem? (think back when color people were discriminated and they wnted to have the same right as d whites..they suffered ALOT cuz they know it wasnt right i think its kinda d same 4 illegals they just want better futures)

Please cite sources, and don't bother with opinion-based answers. I just would like to see some hard, fact-based reasons.

We want to marry here, in America, he has a multiple entry visa, and we will not be living here, after we get married here, I will move to Turkey. Does he need anything translated, such as his turkish ID and social security card, before we can marry? Or can he just come and we apply and get married?
I do not think there should be much of a hassle, since he will not be wanting immiration. I cannot find anything about his on the net, but for those who plan to marry Americans, and immigrate. Any help, would really help!

Hi,

I will be applying for a skilled migration into Canada. As I was going thru the application I noticed Schedule 1 form, ques #9. I think my wife fails in 2 points:
- she was denied a US tourist visa once
- removed from port of entry in the US due to misrepresentation

Will this cause our application to be rejected?

Deep River (WTNH) _ Several Spanish speaking employees have filed a discrimination lawsuit against their company after an 'English Only' policy was implemented.

A year ago, Andres Moran had a good life and a good job at G&C Industries in Deep River.

"I worked there for three months and it was fine. It was a good working environment. Then after those three months they posted a policy in the lunchroom that said we couldn't speak Spanish," Moran explained.

According to the policy, workers could only speak English during their work hours. Moran and his co-workers, legal immigrants from Honduras and Mexico, were shocked. "The whole Spanish people that worked there, we went and started talking to the managers, and why did they do that? For what reasons? We felt like we were being discriminated. We weren't doing anything bad," Moran said.

According to Moran, the G&C Industries said because they were a private company they could do whatever they want. Moran and four others decided to file a discrimination lawsuit against the company.

"So we're claiming in this case, this English only policy discriminated against my clients on the grounds of national origin," said the employee's attorney, Steve Jobs.

Moran also says the company told the workers that safety was behind the new 'English Only' policy. When he did not comply, Moran says he was laid off.

Moran and the four other employees are seeking $100,000 each, plus attorney fees and damages. http://www.wtnh.com/Global/story.asp?S=7410493
“So we’re claiming in this case, this English only policy discriminated against my clients on the grounds of national origin,” said the employee’s attorney, Steve Jobs.

When they come to this country their allegiance is supposed to be for this country which is an English speaking one.
National origin???? What the....(censors myself)
Go back to your country of origin where you will be free to speak the national language. Would like to see if in their country of origin they would be able to speak English or would be required to speak the national origin’s native language.
I am sick of this and the good thing is they will garner little or no sympathy.

Would you be more concerned with breaking US laws that even the US Lawmakers encouraged you to break, or the welfare of your children?
If you could make 100 times as much money for your family, wouldn't you do it?

you see, for the past almost 2 months, we have been applying to colleges at school. i am actually in this class that is all about getting into college, and i have classmates that have come various walks of life, including "undocumented" students. i personally know every classmate of mine, and i know many of them are illegally in this country....many of them are very intelligent and they have worked hard all our high school years. now, they arent going to be ab;le to get into a university....and as much as im an anti (as some of you may know), i still have a heart and seeing that doesnt make me feel good. many of them have been here since they were only about 2 years old or so, and they have worked hard in school.

but then i think, and i ask myself: WHO should be feeling bad about this?? should i?? should others citizens and legal immigrants be feeling guilty about this? i believe the parents are to blame for this happening to their children. what do you think??

I was looking at CNN and Rick Sanchez was talking about illegal immigration. He kept putting emphasis on how they are good people and come to this country just to work. He used the example of an alien who helped a llittle boy whose mother died in the desert. He spoke to a hispanic sheriff who is pro illegals as well. Nothing was said about how being a good person has nothing to do with folk breaking the law. Most criminals are good folk; they just broke the law. Rick then spoke against Irving, Texas taking actions against illegals. He spoke to a Mexican activist who lived in the area. I really became livid because it was obvious he had an agenda. I thought he was Jewish at first but later found out he's Cuban. Many Cubans are so ungrateful. The ONLY thing hispanics are thinking about is take over. Sooner or later, many will leave due to no jobs and benefits. The anchor on Headline News is much like Lou Dobb; he stated that the people have to take control of America

My common-law partner from the UK has recently joined me in Canada on a working holidaymaker visa. I had been living with him working on the same visa for a year and a half. I have been starting to go through the application process for Common-law Partner Sponsership but I am a bit confused. Does anyone know if it is possible to sponser him while he is still in the country? The application forms seem to always mention out of Canada information and addresses, etc. I would be greatful for any help since it is hard to get some answers through the CIC website. Cheers!

Is it a good or bad thing?

I'm asking because I've seen people on here post lot's of negative Q&A's regarding multiculturalism, like it's a bad thing.

Now please correct me if I'm wrong here but I as under the impression that multiculturalism was nothing more than people of different races and ethnicities living together in a given society? like what the US and UK are like now.

Is my definition of the word wrong? I'm thinking it might be, cause like I've said I've seen loads of folks talk about multiculturalism in negative light and that only 'bleeding heart liberals' would want such a society.

Does it have something to do with immigrants not assimilating? yes? no?

Thanks.

Has anyone thought about how not just American was taken away from the natives but Mexico Canada well everywhere really... immigration has been done throughout all of history... i guess i'm just asking the pro's especially those that are pro immigration when it comes to Mexican illegals if they thought about the Mexicans... have ever thought about how their society was formed... they aren't the Native people that were there before the Spanish came... I'm pretty sure the blood lines have mixed (insert sarcasm here)... please stop trying to use the "You took America away from the Natives" card because pretty sure your ancestors did too... make points with facts not feelings...

How about it? If the US maintained an open immigration policy with the stipulation that you must be able to meet the immigration policies of the nation you are leaving wouldn't that be fair. After all look at Canadian immigration and their education requirements or how the Mexican Government treats Central American's.
