B1/B2 VISA denial & illegal work -HELP!

[LIFE'SJOURNEY 970]

That's because economic ability has nothing to do with how safe you drive

, while it does have something to do with whether it would benefit you to stay illegally in the US or not. Call youir Insurance agent ands ask this question, relay what you are told.

Race has nothing to do with visas, citizenship does. Citizenship and race are two completely different things.

When ppl start to live in a tunnel vision world, than it time to end discussion.

Put it this way:

Country A has an unemployment rate of 3% and an average income of $35,000 a year, with 2% of the population living in poverty.

Country B has an unemployment rate of 20% and an average income of $6,000 a year, with 35% of the population living in poverty.

Example: If an illegal worker in the US makes about $12,000 a year working 12 hour days, a person from country B is more likely to benefit from working illegally, while a person from country A is more likely to be worse off doing so.

Because the US State Department can't possibly background check and dig into the lives of every visa applicant, it makes sense statistically to use statistics like these as a factor to determine immigrant intent. Of course, it's never the deciding factor, but it is a factor.

An insurance company can't possibly check how every customer drives, so they use an average risk analysis based largely on age and zip code to determine premiums. Is it fair to the 18 year old who never goes above speed limit? No. But it makes sense statistically.

I'm not sure what you mean by me living in a tunnel vision world. I'm not trying to argue insurance rates here, I'm trying to tell you how illegal work can be linked to economic ability.

There was a thread recently about a Bulgarian lady I think. I certainly have seen threads from Ukrainians, I can not think off hand of any race that has not been mentioned as having issues.

Race has a lot to do with Insurance rates, when you live it you know.

You said it didnt? -

Insurance Rates are not based on race or economic ability.

I suggested otherwise.

For example, I have never heard of a western European, Japanese or Australian etc working illegally in the US to make more money or to provide for his family back home, simply because it doesn't pay off either way you look at it. Thus, that part of "immigrant intent" is very easily overcome. Not by personal credibility, but by the CO's knowledge of country specific situations.

Hah, one of the reasons I broke up with my AUSTRALIAN fiance was that he was much more interested in just living in the US, and intended to use his VWP priviledges to work illegally for his father's company. My Russian husband? Never cared about moving to the US, only doing it for me.

But, the former had a crappy job in Sydney and the latter a good job (heck his salary's good even in for US standards) in Moscow. IMO, CO's need to look at income and not nationality.

I'm not arguing that income shouldn't be looked at. I'm simply stating the fact that I have yet to meet a person from i.e. Australia who works illegally because salary/opportunities are higher for illegal work than it would be for work in their home country. Thus removing an important factor in determining "immigrant intent" by default.

"Just wanting to live in America" is a different matter. Again, I'm not arguing the fairness of it all, just the rationale.
