Non-US Citizens: Immigration - What bad experiences have you had with US Immigration? Are they overreacting?
Answer:
My aunt came to visit us and brought us some pottery dolls from the Caribbean as a gift, in customs, they made her go into this room they broke the pottery dolls she had and pour a chemical. They waited a while and then when everything was ok, they did not even apologize for the misunderstanding and sent her on her merry way out the door.
AMEN!!!! Thank God for those immigration officials. Immigrating to the United States is a privilege, and has to be earned. If you dont like it, GO HOME! If you are coming here illegally, you are a criminal and deserve to be treated as such.
being told "denied."
My grandma came to the US from Laos. Her 4 sons fought for the United State of America during the Vietnam war. She lost a lot of family members and her homes because of her people's support for the United State. She was 87 when she was required to take a US Citizenship test or lose her $600/month government check.
This was the test:
1. Why did the US celebrate the Forth of July?
2. Who was the First President of the United State?
3-10 questions that most Americans can't answer
A lady was sitting in the corner making sure that I did not give her the answer. I bet that lady had four sons fighting for the US Army right now in Iraq!!!
My Grandma fail!!
How many Americans had 4 sons fighting for the US Army?
She didn't jumped a fence to get here or sneak on a boat
Immigration is a privilege, not a right. It is also solely for the benefit of the people of the United States, not the applicant. The terms and conditions for immigration to the US are non-negotiable. Most US citizens would be delighted to know that it was difficult to enter since we are overrun with third world trash entering illegally already.
If you're talking about a visitor's visa, that's not immigration, try opening a dictionary sometime. As for the US "needing" immigrants, that is demonstrably false.
I am not gonna get the 10 points for sure. I really did not have a hard time with the immigration process, it is long but not only for me is long for everybody. Sometimes I felt frustrated because of all the forms that I had to fill and all the money spent, but at the end is gonna be worth it because I did it legally.
The only thing that happened to me with an immigration officer that kinda bothered me occurred when I first came to the US and was in the airport with the customs officer, he took my passport and asked me how long was I gonna stay. I said "1 year" and he said "Ok, we will be watching you" and let me in. I was thinking to myself " you will be watching me, why? go watch the border where people enter without documents". Anyway that was his job and I had nothing to fear because I was not hiding anything.
I still have a long wait to finally get my permanent residency card and I may or may not have unpleasant encounters with immigration officers.
I bet this is not the worst encounter.
I am an American citizen and even I have a problem with the INS's bad attitude at times.The way they treat some people is unacceptable.They make it seem as if they,personally are giving out the green cards.And guess what,I could care less who doesn't like my answer because it's the truth !
