Strange Policy

[RajeshJ]

It is really strange that US Gov is spending time and resources in granting immigrant visa to 20,000 people who are not even here (and may not be able to come here). While people who have entered legally...and have been providing service for years are waiting in limbo.

Cubans

It is a long holding policy; given the spanish note element in Florida and in general in the US, we will see more of this. Incidently, the current USCIS director came from Cuba some 25-30 years ago,under a mass migration at the time ("EL PEDRO or something..posted this earlier)

DO you know what is "RD date" for these poor fellows ?

Hi 1amShantanuB,

Immigration is their birth right.

RD= Birth Date

O' really !
Then they should get their GC first
Becasue for us it is 20 months waiting
and for them it is 20 years

 

[pingpong02]

Now you see how lucky we are !!

First we get it even though it not our right.

Second we get it in 1/4 of thier time(5 years instead of 20 years).

We just see the POSITIVE side of Life

where as others

are always seeing negative side

Its all about

voting numbers and lobbying.

There are many politicians who will make all illegals legal if its in their favor. Reagan did it.

Now you have to get the cigars somehow dont ya??

 

[pingpong02]

Does it mean one has better shot trying Citizenship illegally rather than trying GC Legally ?

 

[patienceGC]

If you are a hispanic person

I think its pretty easy.

There is an idea. Why don't we all go to Cuba and then come on a boat back to the US and apply as illegal aliens for citizenship. This might be faster than applying for the citizenship 5 years down the road. Imagine the backlogs if all the GC holders now apply at that time.

Freedom to Cubans!

May be someone in the State department thought it would be easy to give freedom to cubans by bringing them to US after so many years of trying to overthrow Castro! May be next year they will increase the quota to 200,000.

pachai_attai, you could be right....that's why they are reducing H1 quota..trying to get rid of L visas...etc...etc.

In future "legal immigration" will be illegal!!!
