Who I am!
Hi Friends,
I was not planning to introduce myself at all
but due to some circumstances I have decided
to do it at this point.
First of all, I should mention that nobody can choose
his/her parents or where he/she is from. So, nobody
is better than the others based on these factors.
I am son of a Turkish woman and an American (WASP) man.
My father was a US soldier at a US base in Germany, my mother
was a young girl working in Germany. They met, fell in love wanted
to get married but my father's officers did not approve it. So he
became an AWOL they went to Turkey. I was born in Turkey. Later
they decided that my father should go back and do his time and be
free again. First my father left, then my mother. My father was placed
in a military prison, beaten etc. To make long story short in time
my parents were separated and went their separate ways but I was
left behind. I was adopted and raised by my grandparents in Istanbul.
I met my father for the first time when I was 25. My mother has been
living in US for years, my father has been living here since he was born.
I have rights to US Citizenship from birth. The past cannot be changed though.
I still had rights but it would take around 8 years at the time so I have
decided not to go through my parents and do FB application.
Before doing DV AOS application I had an EB based application pending
for 6 years. Before that I had had another one. My immediate family
has been separated for years due to the things we had little control
over. That would be a shame if they don't give my family's visas.
I have been still pushing gently but this is a time sensitive application.
I hope I am not mistaken but if there has been any discrimination towards
me or my family, please correct it. Apparently a mistake has been made
at least by sending my file to the wrong place by mistake.
I believe there is a good woman working on my case.
I will be satisfied only when my family get their visas though.
The mistake that was done years ago to my parents cannot be
corrected anymore. Please, correct the mistake that was done
to me and my family! Kindly, give their visas in time...
