Giving Up

[Skyesunset 0]

A while ago I was denied my I-601 and with a lot of thought and discussion with my USC wife I no longer wish to continue to prove myself to USCIS,besides not being able to afford the hefty lawyer fees that come along with this fight i am beginning to see the light in what is a very corrupt system,i have collected news articles and trawled the internet for the past 3 years and i have come up with various items that prove my theory,while i myself committed a couple of crimes they were one of CMT and 2 minor shoplifting all over 10 years ago i am in no way a terrorist,murderer,druggie or rapist or any other similar,I have seen various VIP`s who have serious rap sheets that are settled in the US,while it seems like sour grapes i believe that if the USCIS was consistent in treating everyone fairly and on the merits they have shown then I would be sitting at home with my wife,i also would be sitting there if i had a few million in the bank. While some famous ppl seem to get away with their past and blatantly jump the system,people like myself who work damn hard from afar to see his wife and kids are well cared for are readily tossed aside. My I-601 was not written properly and thats what failed me but at the end of the day the real extreme hardship in any relationship is the seperation,also everytime the embassy grabs money from you for some form or process they know well in advance the outcome of whether you get here or not which to me makes them thieves their selves. I was trying to do the right thing and be honest but it has got me no where,I have so many issues with that damn country that no wonder many people hate it,what gives the US the right to deny anyone their right of free travel when they are a nation full of immigrants theirselves,we have to put up with their criminals who can enter any country they want..All i wanted at the end of the day was to be with my wife and kids,i am 44 years old and a committed family man,i work hard,pay my taxes and yet i am treated as a criminal by the US,it is insulting and degrading and I no longer will pay these fraudsters another penny,if i was to pay the lawyers i would need a 100% guarantee of success,that unfortunately wont come,i deserve better than to be ridiculed by these people,they make a lot of money out of misery and worry, that is disgusting. These people should kiss the feet of the true americans (native indians) and beg for forgiveness for driving them out of their homelands. I am a proud Scot and will live in my country,my wife,bless her may or may not join me but she understands that there is only so many rejections a man can take,and i will not tolerate having my distant past however much i regret it from being dragged up to belittle me,I am worth more than that.. God bless everyone going through the process and the very best of luck. Allan

Sorry to hear of your situration, you have made a most difficult decision.

Sorry to hear of your situation. I hope you can find another way for you and your family to be together.

Life is not always fair, even in the liberal country of the U.S.A.

My husband (the USC) had trouble getting into Canada to visit me (when I still lived there) for the longest time because of resolved criminal issues from 30 years ago. It was a very long process getting it all sorted out, but it was worth it in order for us to be able to visit my 2 sons in Canada now. My point is..... sometimes the fight is worth it.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do next.

Allan,

I am so sorry for all that you and your wife and kids have been put through with visa process. I agree with you absolutely that our immigration laws and ways of allowing people into this country are inconsistent and discriminatory toward people who committed minor crimes in the past. From the little you have disclosed about your history, it does not seem fair that they would treat you as if you were a terrorist or murderer.

I truly hope that you and your family can find a better way to be together and live happily under one roof.

Every time I read another story such your own, it makes me so sad that all the wrong types of people can easily enter this country and all the right people seem to have to fight tooth and nail for following the protocol to legally enter this place.

You wouldn't enjoy living here anyway as much as you hate the US now.

I don't know why you would want to immigrate to the US in the first place.

Scotland is a beautiful country!
