A Quick Praise

Yesterday, my wife FINALLY became a 100% official Permanent United States Resident!

It was a long, often horrid tale of bad lawyers, poor decisions on our part and a LOT of money spent. But, it's OVER.

Well....

For now.

In 3 years we can start the Citizenship path.

Why do they make it difficult for someone to do it legally ????

Oy Vey dude...

I understand why any legal immigration process should be 'detailed'. Frankly, it's a good thing that it is not cheap or 'easy'. Make it tedious enough that you really WANT it, ya know?

What I want to know is why do we give a virtual anal probe to people who are trying to navigate the process legally and give those who are not a "pass". I mean the fact that a person is trying to navigate the process legally, should be worth SOMEthing, right? It at least shows a desire to comply with the law, rather than just saying "eff you".

(Ok, I KNOW why.... But I am not going there. We all know where that conversation ends up here. LOL)

---

In summary, I could make suggestions to USCIS on how to make the process more efficient... But that is not how Federal Governments roll. Eh? LOL

Oh and to stave off a possible drive by from our usual suspects.... Immigration is something that is specifically mentioned in the Constitution that the Federal Government has authority over. (Article 1, Section 8.4)

Exactly my thoughts when I asked my question.

Anyway, congrats to you both.
So does this mean that the Hannah's Hands Jewellery and Sly Grog Shoppe can emerge from it's underground location and take it's rightful place amongst other US jewelery and sly grog corporations ???
