Hi
As I said, I do feel sorry for illegal children, they have no choice where they are brought to live. It is my understanding that the Dream Act is also so flawed.
There will be cases whereby, maybe two out of three children will be able to have studied for five years and the other only a year or two. So what happens then, give two documentation and deport the other?
We at expatsvoice hare having a massive fundraing event in Florida on 16th Dec at 7-30pm, The funds will be used to retain an immigration attorney to write up ammendent to the Dream act to include legal children or amend the CSPA to protect ALL children from aging out. We also will petiton for a compassionate visa. There is a hunmanitarian soc for animnals in the USA but NOT humans
The CSPA is also badly written, I should know the DOS says my son has aged out, even though many immigration attornies say he has not. My husband was the petitioner for son. Husband recently passed away and seems I may have to petition son from the begining, this is just not on!! TSC is working on cases received in 1998 so will be another ten years
Before my husband became ill we set up a free forum
www.expatsvoice.org to raise awreness and atttempt tto change the law. Very difficult when we do not even have a vote, only being a LPR
We are also petitioning for a compassionate visa. This would be granted on a cases by case basis.
When E or L visa holders are renewing their visa's,. they are landlocked, whilst waiting for advanced parole and cannot leave the USA, even if a mother, father, brother, sister is terminal in home country. A compassionate visa would resolve this issue.
The same goes for relatives who live abroad from a visa waiver country. If their close relative living in the USA is terminal they can only visit for max 90 days without a visa. The first thing the family would do is jump on a plane to be in the USA with loved one. They should not have to worry about having to leave the USA after 90 days. If a compassionate visa were available they could walk into a immigration sub office or airport, with documentary evidence which can be verified within 24 hrs and compassionate visa stamped for entry up to one year, rewnewal if needed
There have been 3 recent cases, whereby the husband is the main E visa holder and bought a business, the hausband's passed away. This is a disaster for the wife. The wife can inherit the biz, but not his visa status. they have to leave the usa and in one case wa given 30 days to do so.
The wife had to sell biz, bury husband, go to probate,sell home and leave! How disgusting is that? Again another reason why we MUST petition for a compassionate visa
