US Census Bureau's "National Content Test"

[TheResistance 6]

First, an invasion or privacy.

Our privacy should be the #1 concern of these "leaders." Otherwise they show signs of their corruption.
"(The right to privacy is a person's) right to be left alone by the government... the right most valued by civilized men." - Former Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis

Truthfully, way above my head so I stopped reading after the second sentence. I do not deal with lies....

This is my concern though, does not doing it affect the visa? I have enough concerns with the taxes I owe from not having a proper job in four years (and going to owe more next year because I can not afford health insurance [which is also my right to pass on but they bill me for it]), and having a temp job now (but nothing should stop love), and other financial issues I have posted about before. Will not doing what the corrupted government want affect the application? I am trusting overpaid people to make their judgments on my future, is that is just downright wrong.

Thoughts on this "test?"

Thanks.

How is really an invasion of privacy? Most of this information is probably readily available anyway. Its a select sampling and the law to comply according to them.

How could you read the first sentence and then make such broad generalizations and not really sure how it correlates to K1?

It you aren't doing anything wrong theres nothing to be so paranoid about everything. Quite frankly I doubt that many of us important enough to target so systematically. If someone was really out to get you....there are far far easier and more efficient ways to do it.

If the govt was out to get you they wouldn't just 'sample' 1 mill Americans out of 300+ to go after YOU.

If the govt is so bad here why are you petitioning your loved one to come here of all places?

You not like my postings do you? That is the point of forums, yes?

Right, if they already have it, why bother me? My problem is them harassing people. I have been told by people how they refuse to do it, per their Constitutional rights, and they were harassed. The representative stayed in their driveway. Stayed in their neighbor's driveway. Even went through the mailbox (caught on video phone). Then the fines they threaten you with. So, per my rights, I refuse to as, well, my only defense is human (even though partially true). So, my question is is not doing it going to affect the visa process.

I'm aware of nothing in the USCIS rules (for the petition) or the Foreign Affairs Manual (for the visa) that mandates the completion of the survey. If there were such a requirement, we would have heard about it.

If you're concerned, contact your Congressman to seek protection. Meanwhile, complete the petition requirements and worry less about straw dogs.

The point of the forums? You explicitly solicited thoughts, I offered mine. You didn't solicit, thoughts that purely aligned with your own.

This 'test' has no correlation to immigration excect that you may be convicted of a crime if part of the sampling and refuse to participate as apparently it is unlawful to do so, as I actually went through the link you posted.

A conviction I imagine my negatively impact your process.

Do I have to respond to the 2015 National Content Test?

Yes. Participation in the test is mandated by law (Title 13 of the U.S. Code). This same law also requires the Census Bureau to keep your answers confidential and allows them to be used only to produce statistical summary data. In other words, the Census Bureau does not publish data that would identify individuals.

Per usual Tbone you continue to educate me. I tried to search for 'straw dog' but it didnt seem to apply and the definitions on urban dictionary proved perhaps a little more than I bargained for!
