My wife and I have already spent thousands of dollars, filed hundreds of pages of paperwork, and are nearly 2 years into waiting on a green card interview with no success.
There are tons of immigration categories that are waived from paying these fees and get expedited work permits.
I had to file an Affidavit of Support taking full legal responsibility in the case my wife becomes a public charge. If we attempt to get any public benefits the application will likely be rejected despite being married to a US citizen.
It is completely aggravating watching tens of millions of people pouring over the border, being flown around the country on taxpayer dollars, receiving 6 months or more free housing, phones, visa gift cards, food stamps, and getting expedited interviews at the immigration offices in front of us. I donât blame the people coming to make a better life. They have been fully incentivized to do so from the NGOs flying them from their home countries to Ecuador, to the busses driving them up to Mexico, to the USG giving them free things when they arrive. I would do the same if it was me.
There are plenty of stories just like mine, with people trying to do things the right way. She is pissed, I am pissed. The entire ordeal has radicalized me to say the least. We have joked about just sending her to Mexico and walking across the border since it will likely speed up the process.
Our governments hate us. They are importing a slave class, who yes- they will grant amnesty and allow to vote, (of almost wholly middle aged men despite the âchildren in cagesâ propaganda) into the western world and the whole thing is being funded on the citizens dime. Over 300,000 children are missing, women are suffering horrific consequences attempting to make the journey, and the cartels are richer than they have ever been.
This is the largest human trafficking operation in human history and will be remembered as one of the most evil and dark events of all time. I donât even know what else to say. Feels like we already lost.
