Visitor's Visa For Mother -in-law

[athena_ny 1]

Now, you see.....I would never have this problem cause I don't want my MIL anywhere near where we live.

Ooh snap. You'd show up at the consulate and beg them to deny her? (I am just kidding.)

I'm so lucky I get along with my MIL. Maybe because we don't speak the same language. hah!

I watched enemy of the state last night and they could tract them the same way but with satelites. Have a drug that is released so they are immobilized and you can catch them easy.

Bottom line is that if everyone is so worried about overstays we have 2 choices, just don't allow tourist visas or have a system in place to make sure they return. I read somewhere overstays outnumber EWI's.

And I've read it's only about half. But then again, we can never know because we can barely get a ballpark figure on how many illegals there are on the first place.

But your paranoia is completely strange, regardless of how many illegals are overstays. My husband was a 4 year overstay and in his situation I would have done the same, I refuse to condemn anyone for their circumstances. If it's planned like his cousin, well she should get deported at AOS.

I guess if overstays are half of the illegals a fence is only going to fix half the problem?

If you worry about yourself instead of everyone else, you won't have anything to worry about

My husband was never a 'problem' - probably less of a drain on society than you are.

Hey I am for allowing visas for visiting, I was being sarcastic. I am not a drain, my taxes alone every year are well above the poverty line.

I think something should be done to allow people to get visas to visit all they want, I love my wife's family and wished they could come anytime. I just bought my mother-in-law a plane ticket to be here when our baby is born. She has always had her visit and got her I-94 just by saying nothing more than she is visiting family. Nothing more, nothing less.

I am a USC born and raised here, I never thought about immigration issues until I met my wife. The hispanic population where I live has been possitive. Unfortunately there are some people complain but if they were not here we would not have had the economic growth we have enjoyed.

I do wish you luck and hope you pass on any gems. My brother in law just got denied despite the fact that he has a wife , child and home in Morocco. All of which were not discussed since the officer just scanned over the papers, looked at his passport (he has been to Europe countless times) and refused his application. What does a person have to do to visit the US?? I am so furious that I wrote them angrily and copied my state rep. Please let me know what you find out.

To the best of my knowledge, neither me, my wife, nor my immigration attorney can do anything to help a relative get a visa to come visit us. My mother-in-law, one of the sweetest woman you could ever meet, ha, I actually love my mother-in-law did apply in Columbia, is on their version of SS, and her entire family is there except my wife. But fortunately, she owns her own home, so only have 13 months, see finally got a visa.

We were able to transfer funds to her so she could buy a plane ticket, but on arrival to the good old USA was subjected to a four hour interrogation and a strip search that was extremely humiliating and degrading to her. I just talked to her last Sunday, and asked here if I could send her more money for a plane ticket, she responded, you come visit me. I feel that was her way of saying, she never wants to go through that again, and I don't blame her.

I can go down there trouble free with no hassle and no visa, but even I have problems coming back here, something is badly amiss here.

Putting aside security concerns, the general problem is that large numbers of visitors from certain countries forget to go home and forget that they are visiting, not working in the US. I doubt if many USC's are looking to go to say Venezuela or Morrocco to do this.

Until there is a comprehensive solution that addresses this, it is likely that there are going to be issues getting visitor visa's.

Implanting Microchips are the solution.
