Weird experience at Naturalization interview

[NickD 203]

I agree, uscis does just rip ppl trying to do it the legal way. I know some people who were students in Europe (not European), dad has like 6 or 7 million dollars.... brand new BMW... the works. They apply for a tourist visa in Switzerland during their senior year of school to visit friends in the u.s. who visited them last year and he says this, "You already know ppl in the u.s., are about to finish your degree, you are an immigration risk" Now who the hell is going to throw away 3 years of hard work when their freaking dad could just sponsor them for an investment visa???? My mother in law got denied a tourist visa because she was also a risk... really??? a relatively high local government worker is going to throw away her house, car, job, respect, etc for a country that is going downhill and one that she can't even communicate with other people??? But if you wash up on the beach and say you were raped or pregnant the gc is pretty much automatic.... and we haven't even gotten to illegals. I completely agree with how messed up this system is, BUT I agree with what one VO I knew said, "I can't do anything about illegals, immigrant visa fraud, etc... but I know I can do my job and make sure only right people get a non-immigrant visa." He has a job to do (even if it is stupid in the grand scheme of things, or he is far toooo jaded to be neutral) and can't be held responsible for what other people do. But like I said... I agree that the whole system is a giant load of #######.

Never did find out what happened to those two kids, a brother and a sister attending the same university as my stepdaughter. When Bush brought up immigration and gay marriages about four years ago to get our minds off of Iraq, the states sure took interest. Universities then demanded proof of so-called documented personal, never checked before this. First thing my stepdaughter had to show was here green card even before she could fill out the application.

With these two kids whose parents came here when they were 1 and 2 years of age, kind of overstayed their visa, they didn't even know they were here illegally. Was talk about deporting them to their home country where these kids knew nothing about their native language nor culture. I tried to find out what happened to them but couldn't remember their names when doing a search.

When dating my wife with that I-94, if only two weeks, made darn sure she was on the plane. but wonder if this is even checked by anyone. But we were sure red flagged when we sent in our applications to the USCIS. That is really when you get checked over.

Fortunately, my wife did have a tourist visa and I finally had reason to apply for a US passport so we could spend a lot of time together. Like two years before tying the knot. Wonder about these guys that take one trip to Russia, spend a couple of days, then bring their gals here on a K-1 with 90 days to decide to make that fateful decision.

What my wife and I had in common, we both were dumb enough to get married in less than five months in our younger years. Divorce is a terrible thing, and both of us wanted to be sure we were not making this mistake again. It takes time.

Just saying like when I was young with a marriage IQ of less than two, what the USCIS provides for a person to come over here is just as bad. So divorce is inevitable, don't even give you the opportunity to learn if that person is the right one or not .
