Hi Everyone,

Good luck on your immigration journeys. What an interesting message thread indeed! In answer to the message thread/poll about fears, I would have to say that I have these fears:

a) USCISaphobia: The fear of US immigration officials and US immigration process paperwork (I'm sure many of you would agree with this one)

b ) Numberaphobia (I think there's another name for this): The fear of numbers and using numbers (eg. doing math, doing financial related stuff)

c) Citycrowdsaphobia: The fear of living in a city (especially large cities) full of too many people (thank goodness I don't live in a city anymore!)

Anyone else with any other phobias? It's a scary world, isn't it?

Ant

What are you afraid of?

The big, bad wolf! Because he'll huff...and puff...and blow your house down. ;)

"Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: Those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave."

"...for the system to be credible, people actually have to be deported at the end of the process."

US Congresswoman Barbara Jordan (D-TX)

Testimony to the House Immigration Subcommittee, February 24, 1995

I suffer from Visdeniophobia, fear of visa denial .

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
