Senators wife may be deported

[sparkofcreation 0]

So this Victim of Immigration Fraud supposedly by this Notorio person will get her Citizenship probably well before my wife does--who came here legally and meets all the conditions of her residency status etc.

This case really stinks--the way I understand it she Sasha Herrera came to the US on a Tourist visa, asked for an over stay extension, got the extension then asked for an Refugee/Asylum visa but then having enrolled in Kennesaw State, then gets a Student Visa, and now she is married to Surprise a State Senator who is also a Immigration Rights advocate--and now she wants to have a CR1/K3 visa. Whoa! And she beats the rap for the first round on Deportation hearing!

Okay so it looks like Ms. Herrera--why she didn't change her last name to that of her so-called-husband--is like a bona fide expert on all the various visa options. Well she does lack the Work Visa I suppose--if she joins VJ I guess she could make Yodrak and Aussiewench look like Newbies with her vast knowledge of the visa process!

Too bad Ms. Herrera is not a world class Canadian Ice Skater or a Cuban Baseball Pitcher that has a 99 mph fast ball--she would have a Green Card immediately--or better yet her US Passport quicker than even a native born citizen.

I don't see how that puts her ahead of your wife? Unless her I-485 was filed before yours. I thought the only thing the judge's decision did was allow her I-485 to be adjudicated. She never had a K-3/CR-1; she met and married her husband while in the US legally on a student visa and filed for AOS from the F-1 or J-1. Which many, many people here on VJ did.

If you'd ever had the misfortune to meet a notario you'd know how much fraud they perpetrate. Working in the courts, it was a nightmare trying to sort out all the trouble they cause--normally the problem was charging people hundreds of dollars, doing the paperwork all wrong, and then absconding and refusing to fix their mistakes, but there were all sorts of things they did and I have no trouble believing at all that there are some who steal the personal data of their clients. And there are many cultures where women do not change their names upon marriage--including in parts of the United States. In New Jersey I hardly knew anyone who changed their name after marriage.

I bet if your wife was accidentally put into removal proceedings because someone filed a change of address without her knowledge [and there have been people on this board who have had that done to them] you'd be raising holy hell about it. But no, just because it happened to someone else--someone who was here legally and followed all the rules and regs, but was unfortunately a victim of identity theft, and someone who is married to someone whose politics you disagree with--you're against it.

Where did I make an objection to anyone's politics--and this case has little to do with politics, its a case of a young woman from Colombia trying to Visa Shop in order to live in the USA with her parents. I mean come on, first you try to extend your tourist visa, then try an asylum visa, then a student visa, and then you get married and try and stay here by virtue of your marriage to an American citizen. And of all the possible men in the USA she just happens to meet a State Senator that is also a Immigration Rights Advocate--this is clearly a case of someone playing the system--and getting a way with it--and she will because she is now connected, oh and not bad looking--don't forget about that ugly and the poor get deported--and beautiful, talented, and rich um well they are held to a different standard.

She didn't apply for the asylum visa! Jeezus. She met a notario who told her he could get her one, took her personal info, and then she didn't go through with it and he illegally filed it anyway using his address. Notarios are a nasty, nasty business in the US--in Latin America, they're a minor type of lawyer, so Latinos come here and trust people who put up signs saying they're "notarios" when they're actually just notaries public. And they take advantage of that all the time. I've seen dozens of them summoned to court and fined, and even a few arrest warrants issued.

Heck, my husband came here on the VWP twice before getting a job here with a J-1 visa and then marrying me and filing for AOS. How is that different from what she did, except that no one stole my husband's identity?

If you think there aren't people on this board who didn't want to live in the US before they met their spouse, then obviously you don't read the same communities I do, because I see it all the time in the UK/US forums I read. So she came here legally first on a tourist visa and then a student visa, *could have* transitioned to a work visa (which students do ALL THE TIME) but instead met someone she wanted to marry. So what? Do you have a problem with someone wanting to live in the US, getting a job here with an H-1B, and then meeting a US citizen and marrying them? Or do you only object if the US citizen they happen to meet happens to have a minor role in the state government WHICH HAS NO CONTROL OVER IMMIGRATION ANYWAY?
