All About China > Visas, Immigration and Emigration
Trying to Immigrate Legally to the US? Get in line behind the Illegal Aliens.
Happy:
Hello folks,
Myself and several U.S. citizens(men) and their Chinese wives that My wife and I know are very pleased with the Obama Administration and their immigration policies! The wait time for people waiting for visas has been cut down considerably. We know of a couple living in Colorado that it took almost 18 months to obtain visas for wife and child and the visa process was started in 2010. We met a couple on our return flight, From Changsha in April 2014, it took only 255 days for wife and child visas, that are living in Texas. My wifes visa was approved in 2011 and she was only asked my name and approved in less than 5 minutes. It was much more difficult with the previous administration to get visas and in a timely manner! So when it comes to immigration the Democrats are a positive and the Republicans are a HUGE negative! ;D

This is my personal time-line for CR-1 visa which was completed prior to Obama's promise the illegals anything so the liberals think we actually care program. If the man in Colorado took 18 months then he must of had either an ignorant attorney, major red-flags, attempted to do it himself and completely screwed the paperwork up, or was completely broke and could not afford the travel or fees. It doesn't matter what party is in charge, what matters is who enforces laws and who bypasses current laws for political gain. I believe some former communist leader once said " it does not matter how many vote, it only matters who counts the votes! "

I didn't think my wife's visa was to bad under Bush it was 11 months.

"Obama realizes that if he can get the illegals legal then he has instant voters. Those who chose to do thing the legal way more than likely vote Republican."

"The lefties and looneys are aghast at this move...they want to go back to the old way, and for the Labour Opposition, boat people represent votes."

just for the 'eh of it, I need to know if I am correct.
in the States, I do not know Aust laws, a 'legal' immigrant has a wait of 5 years before application of citizenship. a spouse wait is for, what, 3 years?
so, assuming the issue of illegals, I imagine the legalization process to grant them the 'green card' & a 'soc sec' card as their initial legal benefit (U.S. to live, to work).
but still no voting rights exist until citizenship.
I think maybe a lot of people here, members & lurkers, would be interested in the legalities of the system as it exists in regards to their dear intended.

In September 2012, USCIS started deferring action for certain childhood arrivals and issuing employment authorization for a period of two years. Beginning in September 2014, the initial two-year grants of deferred action for early recipients of DACA from USCIS are due to expire under their own terms, and USCIS is actively preparing for the DACA renewal process so that eligible individuals can request and receive an extension of their deferred action without experiencing any lapse in their lawful presence or work authorization.
Note the timing of each cycle! Just before the 2012 presidential election and just before a mid-term election that will most likely spell doom for certain people associated with a certain political party. For those who are unsure of what the word " certain " represents above, that translates to those that arrived here illegally with their parents or friends. You will also notice I highlighted extension and lawful presence and work authorization above. For those who do not know what extension translates to then look at how long TPS has been granted and extended to refugees from Sudan, Guatemala, and the Honduras, some of these people have been on TPS status for over 10 years. And work authorizations for illegals when actually citizens and legal residents are jobless? Some how I find it hard to believe this is not a ploy to pander to Hispanic groups who all have or know some family who has members who are here illegally. Another thing to consider also is that NO ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL where hired to process these applications, that is why everyone's petitions are taking longer to process.
