The US government is ready to throw out hardworking educated tax paying immigrants because of a stupid infraction on a form but if you cut grass, don't pay your taxes, or pay health insurance, car insurance, etc. and speak anything but english then the government will bend over backwards to defend the rights that you are not even entitled to.
The doctor should quit his job, get on welfare and start speaking spanish and the US government will be happy to let them stay here.
This is ridiculous.

If you're "sick of the US", why don't you just go away?

Right off the bat-it's the fault of the US Government. You going to pay more taxes to support them? Or maybe let's just wait and see until the facts come out before pronouncing the US wrong.

Don't be fooled by this couple. They lied when they applied for the visa (approval of petition is not visa approval. They were single when their petition was approved but married when they went for the visa, which involves the health screen and interview with the U.S. consul in the Philippines). They were single when the petition for 2nd preference was approved. When it was time to interview for the visa, they did not disclose their marital status. A 2nd preference immigrant, due to the description of being 'single,' gets questioned again at the port of entry. Included among the questions are: "Are you or have you ever been married?" "Do you have or have you ever had children?" If you answer "No," the immigration official orders you to write the statements "I have never been married" and "I have never had children" on your entry papers. How do I know? I went through that process. I stayed single from about 1981 to 1991 (the year I entered the U.S. as an immigrant. My visa got delayed because I failed to submit the biographical info at once. It was when I followed up with the U.S. Embassy in Manila that they told me why my file was not being processed because of that.) This couple is playing the victim, but they knew what they were doing. They knew that if they disclosed their marital status, they would not be granted the interview with the U.S. Consul and the immigrant visa. Don't be fooled, since this isn't fair to those Filipinos who abide by U.S. law in their own native country and wait for even as long as fifteen years despite their knowledge that by the time they reach the U.S., they would not be able to practice their professions due to their reaching retirement age (to let the Servanos stay would not be fair to those law-abiding Filipinos).

Maybe "they" forgot to pay their cable bill...It's very interesting how "they" all disappear at the same time isn't it?

OH lookie! Some facts that support the US position.
Oh dear, ctg21361 I fear for you. Soon the lefties will come and start calling you a zombie and a shill for the US Gov't. But not to worry some of us actually think and research before we jump to conclusions.

It's awesome! As I Ruth and I were discussing earlier-they just can't stand a fair fight--let's keep it going. They'll come back (albeit under different names) but they can't help themselves! Hehehe :)

I am wondering where "Richard McVay" went. I started busting his chops and he disappears. Or is he Pax, Margo, Smedley, and Observer? Dick is the leader of the Iraq Summer campaign in Erie. He is bankrolled by George Soros and is a raging lefty. You can learn a little more about Dick by searching "Erie Gay News" and "McVay". He called my 14 year old son a "sweetheart" and "psychological pederast". Anyone ever heard of the idea of "projecting"?

This seems to be a standard line from the uneducated bush zombies that have no clue what democracy is.

LMAO :) you go WIB. The less angry you get the more it provokes them into the raging lunatics that they are. Their hatred is all they have and boy, it doesn't take long to get to it eh? Yes PAX I am living off the government, but isn't that what you libs really want? Keep us all poor, uneducated so you can tell us what to do and take our money and spend it on MORE social programs that show us how much you CARE about us? Wow, the contradiction is priceless...
