no rights for us!
CuriousGeorge,
We (non-immigrants) have no rights, particularly after the Patriot Act. They can hold you without charge for a long time based on this act and if you are unfortunate you might be abused while in prison. What can you do? Sue the government! Good luck my friend! You will simply waste your time and money. If you find a lawyer who will take your case, he will soon be framed for leaving fingerprints in a crime scene. In this case they have just delayed our green cards with the backlog, so we should consider ourselves lucky!
I have done everything that I could possibly do to get them to look at my case without much success. The dates are meaningless, it is the election year. So they are fudging dates just like the corporate world fudging revenues.
