Visit by the FBI...

[tito 1]

Just like everyone else, we certainly have nothing to hide...but the mere shock value of having to field calls from the FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, etc., is tough to fathom. Our taxpayer dollars at work protecting us from ourselves. One would think that, if there were some elaborate terrorist plot afoot, no matter the inquiry, those engaging in it could masquerade any relationship, I suppose. I mean, the questions were not exactly scathing..."are you a terrorist?" "are you a member of the communist party?" "did you have military service where you were from?" "are you acting on behalf of a governmental entity?"

The other day I got a call from Agent so-and-so who was stopping by to interview me and my now spouse from Cuba. Totally unannounced, the agent just decided to stop by...no warning, no call, just a visit, because as part of Homeland Security concerns, so the story went, it's now policy to interview arrivals from key places (like Cuba) to make sure that the immigrant is not a terrorist, not a spy for the Cuban government, so forth and so on. Still...I thought it was quite aggressive just to show up.

Anyone else visited like that? The agent said that the event that triggered the interview was NOT the K-1, not the I-485, but the mere entry into the States!

Wow, pretty scary stuff!

The FBI have approximately a little less than 3000 field agents.

CIA and Homeland security make up the other 3,000 agents.
