Comment on Haitian TPS Finally a Reality by Timothy Moreland

Timothy Moreland — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 16:57:04 +0000

I am very proud of the quick response by the U.S. government to the earthquake in Haiti. As well, I fully support the decision in designating Haiti for TPS.

However, I stronly disagree with Janet Napolitano implying that it would be worse for Haitians if they could leave Haiti. If that is true, then why is it a good idea to grant TPS to Haitians in the U.S.? Wouldn’t it be better to send them back to Haiti?

The country of Haiti has, essentially, been destroyed, and the people are living in terrible conditions. How could it not be a compassionate move if the U.S. allowed Haitians to come, by choice, to the U.S. as refugees? TPS was a great start, but the U.S. government has a long way to go in their Haitian immigration policies.

Jean Pierre, thank you for commenting. We too are thankful for the outpouring of help and attention Haiti is receiving in response to the present crisis. But the fact is that Haiti has been overlooked for so long and, in our opinion, should have been designated for TPS years ago.

It’s sad that it took a natural disaster to make the government change its perspective on temporary protection status as these attorneys mentioned http://www.chb-law.com/haitian...../tps-haiti

Comment on Voluntary Departure – what to do BEFORE you leave by David Novack

I am a U.S. citizen engaged to a
South Korean woman, who, because of ignorance, did enter the USA illegally in 2002 and stayed in the USA working menial jobs for 5 years. She had since returned to South Korea in 2007 to care for her sick mother with the intention of returning so that we could marry. Under current immigration law she is now bared from legally entering the USA for 10 year, however in the body of your posting you also listed a 3 year bar. Is it possible that my fiance can only be barred for 3 years?

Comment on Green Cards and Entering Without Inspection (EWI) by Harold

You bring up an interesting point. Can a one time illegal ever actually get a legal green card? I know that there was a case where a man who had legally entered with a eb5 green card (if you do not know about that visa, I encourage you to read up on it!) but had hired illegals. It is unclear whether he did so knowingly or not, but the mans visa was rescinded. He then gained another one and has remained in compliance. So, the nation can be forgiving, but I wonder if it is more of a loophole issue than one of compassion.

Comment on Immigration Reform 2009: Take Action Now! by cnewman

You have correctly identified the first necessary step, closing the border. Your next step is to resort to the straw-man method of argument. “but when you realize that there is no way to deport the mass of illegal immigrants already here”. This is the same logic as saying, since it is impossible to build a tower to the moon; the Washington Monument can’t be built. It is not necessary to deport anyone, other than those convicted of crimes while here, to get most of the illegals out of the country! All that is necessary is to remove the incentives to stay!

Comment on Business Visas: A Chance Meeting with E2ers by bob franklin

bob franklin — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:44:21 +0000

The E2 investor is perhaps the most poorly treated person within the current system.Indeed,the individual does from the outset know full well that the visa is a non-immigrant one,the real problem is not so much with the E2 itself but that there is for most no pathway away from it towards LPR.
HR 1162 does offer a glimmer of hope,but how pleasing to see the arrival of E2reform.org.A handful of Brits. are championing the cause for all of the estimated 150,000 E2 businesses across the USA.Their first meet & greet event in Orlando on Oct 23 brought an attendace of 450 people from over 140 businesses. Hopefully they can be the catalyst for change not just for themselves and their businesses but equally for their children who face major challeges and often that exit door upon reaching 21.

I love it when you can be prepared to whatever question you might encounter in your immigration process. I didn’t see anywhere on the site a resources page and I thought maybe you can put together an online tools and resources page to help getting prepared for the process.

This describes my situation. I recently married a U.S. citizen. I was brought to this country at roughly 18 months of age. I had no choice, I was brought in without inspection. Is it possible to plea my case before a USCIS panel? Any recommendations?
