A US citizen's desire to have his family inside the same country is a "personal choice"????
Yes. And there's nothing stopping that US citizen from having his family inside the same country. It just doesn't have to be US. You see, you're not really complaining about aliens being separated from their families, despite your insistence. You're really complaining about them not being able to choose to be all in the US together. It's a valid complaint, but it is different.
You guys just need to ACCEPT the unfairness of this particular rule, even if it happenss ONCE, or it happens to a small number of people.
There are plenty of immigration rules that are unfair. I accept the unfairness of the rule, but at the same time I also recognize that plenty of rules are unfair. In the grand scheme of things this one isn't at the top of the list. But you obviously have a different opinion.
My point was to say that the so called "family values" don't transcend to everything this administration does. Its hypocrasy, and not recognizing it makes my point even stronger.
You may not see this policy as family-friendly. But I don't view it as hypocritical if the current Administration doesn't extend derivative benefits to Immediate Relatives. You may disagree, the same way that someone waiting for a spouse or child in the FB2 categories would probably disagree. But Congress has provided a clear legal path for the minor children of the parents of US citizens to immigrate - it's called FB4. I recognize that the wait is long, but it does exist.
Just because an Administration is family-friendly (which, by the way, they all claim to be) doesn't mean that they are obligated to support every person's interpretation of what pro-family policies should be.
Finding another sponsor to sign that affidavit is not big deal..everyone has an uncle, or a freind or a nieghbor who makes 3 times the proverty line.
But who will sign the affadavit? That's a totally different situation. I do not have a US citizen uncle, nor do I have a friend or neighbor willing to make such a financial commitment, therefore your statement has been proven false.
Just take a deep breath...accept you are wrong.
I am puzzled. What do you mean "wrong" to be? I recognize that you have obviously been affected in a negative fashion by the structure of US immigration laws. You probably would be well-served consulting with an attorney on your best options. That might include filing an I-130 for your siblings, and if family unity is as important as you claim, then you will reside abroad with your parents and siblings until their PD becomes current. At this point you will file an I-130 for your parents and return to the US, and then all of you will reside in the US together. Family unity is preserved and all is well.
Every case that prevents an alien from living and/or working in the US can cause harm. Every single one. Personally, I don't see how this is worse than denying a competent foreign gradate an H-1 or EB visa number, or arbitrarily refusing to adjudicate an I-485. But that's just my perspective. In any policy decision, there are winners and losers. You should be grateful that your relatives automatically qualify for GCs, even if it takes a while. There are plenty of us who had to qualify based on skills and demand, instead of who we're related to. (That might also be a good avenue for your siblings.)
