I married an illegal alien...?
BEFORE I get any stupid answers on how it was my choice to marry an illegal alien, I realize this. But love does not always follow political boundaries, and my wife is an absolutely amazing girl. To let her go would have been very stupid The point of my question concerns how actions of the US government affect one of its citizens.
Answer:
What I can't understand is why she will have to leave up to a year. I know love is blind and you love her not her legal status. Do I think it's fair? I don't think a lot of things that happen here are fair. There are a lot of illegals who are living here and don't find love, they just hang around for the money because, it's better here or something like that. Sorry for your situation, hope it works out.
You supported her illegal act. It is good that you are now trying to get legal but the price has to be paid.
Yes it's fair.
it might not be fair in your case, but think of the amount of people that take advantage of the system to get US citizenship and you'll understand why they make it hard on everyone...
the process is not about you.Is to get rid of the ones that marry for money.Yes it sucks but you have to deal with it.I am a single mother on humanitarian case 3 years waiting already.My son in citizen and I have no work permit.Is that fare for him?There is times we have little to eat and lets don't talk about toys...
Do I hate it -yes,do I have a choice but to wait for my case-no.
Good luck to you and your wife
I don't think it's fair for either of you. It's not like you married just for her visa, you married for love and now their spliting you apart for something that stupit. My boyfriend is from spain and he has his papers, but there was a time where he was going to be sent back. i know how your feeling and i really don't think it's fair.
I have two points.
1. Life is never fair. One can only try to make the best of his/her life.
2. All the immigration law states is that she has to leave the US for up to a year, but it did not say that "you" can not leave US for up to a year. Why don't you two plan some kind of long-term honeymoon around the globe? If you really love her that much, then take her somewhere fun. If you have trouble planning, try watching "Around The World In 80 Days". :P
The government makes you wait because there are so many people who marry for the convenience of getting a green card. They're trying to make it harder for people who cheat the system. I think that in your situation, waiting it out is worth it. When it's all done, you and your wife can live peacefully knowing that you wouldn't haven't have to worry about her residency status anymore. It would be easy for alot of people to say that the tedious system is unfair but you have to keep an open mind. The government is trying to weed out the people who marry for love and the people who marry for convenience.
I am sure you did not realize she was not legal "she should have told you the truth all relationships in order to work must be based on honesty and trust" It's not your fault it's hers and we all make or brake by the choices we make...
I know you love her but this is hers and you cant change it the consequences are hers to bear...
Unless it is totally out of the question could you move to Mexico with here? it's just a thought who am i to say but "if i really loved her i would walk through fire for her" such is love...
good luck and check back in 10 years and let us know how long this "love" lasted
no sir i think this seems very unfair in fact. I have just submitted a question abut a visa. now that I have read your problem this makes me have deep simpathy for you . my prayers will be with you and your sweet wife.
Ya, it's fair. If you ask me, she should go back to Mexico and return to this country properly. It's real sweet that you are so in love, but wishing to overlook this crime is basically condoning breaking your countries laws. Wouldn't it make you both happy to know that you did everything legally? I know I would feel better about everything. Do it right, man. Good luck.
I'm sorry for you and your wife. I'm not saying it's fair, but just like in war, many innocent civilians die in the process. I know you won't accept this and may not really understand, because it hit too close to home, but "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few". As painful as this is, your country, your fellow Americans need you to be strong and look at the big picture. I liken America to the lifeboats on the Titanic. These boats can only hold so many survivors. When, and thats not if, we take on more than we can handle, our lifeboat will sink and we will all be swimming with the sharks. I honestly mean no offense and hope for you and your wife's sake, that this situation is resolved soon so you can be together and never be apart again. Sincerely WK
I agree with SANSA ! This Immigration law is for a reason & a VERY GOOD ONE. It is actually made to PROTECT YOU as a US citizen. Many illegals marry for the G. Card. They play a LOVE GAME on the US citizen, next thing u go cry ur heart out to the Immigration that she PLAYED U. This law was put for that reason . I have a friend who works at the INS as an Officer who told me that 90% of the time, illegals marry for the papers & as soon as they get it, they bail out of the marriage & the spouse comes to them crying foul.
you can always move to mexico with her maybe mexico will treat you better
Yes it is fair
Yes love knows no boundaries, whereever they are determined. So, you were absolutely right to follow your heart to her. She having to leave you for about one year while her stay is processed is certainly going to be a very painful time for both you and your wife. And it is neither fair to you, nor to your wife. Sadly, that may be the law.
However, find out through a good lawyer if there is a compromise that can stand on your side so that you do not have to bear the separation.
Good luck.
It is fair, as others have pointed out not everyone is on the up and up. The process takes time, you are not the only person in the US marrying a foreigner, wait your turn. You aren't the first to go thru this process, nor will you be the last.
BTW did you even start the process before marrying her?? Did you get a fiancee visa??
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few!
well that really stinx for you and you girls marrage but she shouldve told you straight up that i am an ilegal alian!!!! but i think that it is great that you fell in love and you stay strong even though she is an ligal alian!!!!!! you should go to mexico with her!!! i hope the best!!!!
