Please explain how you would be missing out if you do things legally? Just because others have gone about it the wrong way has absolutely no bearing on your immigration journey, immigration to the U.S is a privilege, not a right. Complaining about people who are here illegally isn't going to get you anywhere, especially on this site where we are here to help others through their journey, not argue semantics. Either you accept our help, or try to do things on your own...
