Usually married couples with children need to show that they are not entering a country to be an "economic migrant", ie, showing that the US in this case is not accepting people because of poor economic conditions in another country as it costs the US alot of money to take on unemployed people in foreign lands. I dont think this is your case perse...but I do think you need to speak to some immigration lawyers, and get second opinions on how to deal with you case as filing numerous times and not getting anywhere is a sign of either poor professionalism on those who are helping you or giving advice, a sign that you might not meet the requirements to immigrate (not sure if you are referring to simply your wife, or all of your family not being citizens), or confusion in dealing with many processes, organisations and papers. In reality ties between countries do help, but does not make one a citizen. Even Canadians going to the US need to apply for documents and immigrate as anyone else..even though they have very close ties, a similar culture and for the most part language and level of development. I agree that people who do not abuse the system do not always benefit from their honesty, but when we visit or move to another country as foreign nationals we do not have the right to be there, but must ask for permission from those who live and work in their home country. I wish I knew in detail more about your case...It sounds very frusterating indeed.

]]> Comment on The Beginning of the End of Migration to South Africa by Christopher http://migration.fpatest.org/2008/05/23/the-beginning-of-the-end-of-migration-to-south-africa/comment-page-1/#comment-1187 Christopher Sat, 25 Apr 2009 23:36:23 +0000 http://migration.fpatest.org/2008/05/23/the-beginning-of-the-end-of-migration-to-south-africa/#comment-1187 So I have no idea if it will be seen or read. Maybe I am being selfish and running out of patience. I am married to a very wonderful woman for over 2 years and have made a half dozen trips back and forth to the Philippines to be with her. We applied for a visitation Visa and was denied based on her might not returning back to the Philippines to our daughter and family. We were told to file for an immigration Visa in order for her to visit the USA, time and money was spent on the visitation Visa. So since we have filed for an immigration Visa. We patiently wait for the papers to go through the mail to city after city to a different agency and then sent back with errors that the processors are making. My wife is now 7 months pregnant and I am sure there are millions of other people trying to immigrate to the USA. However so much of the paperwork is duplicated and sent to so many agencies that it is bond to be lost or have errors. With the diplomacy and the ties that the USA and the Philippines have had for over 100 years you would think that the process of married couples with children would not have to be abused by the system that is suppose to look out for humanity. Hoping that someone have a heart and concern to see that immigration reform happens sooner then later. Sorry for trying to be an extra burden but I seem to have run out of options. It is amazing that a foreign worker can obtain a visa in half the time a married couple with children can. So I have no idea if it will be seen or read.

]]> Comment on Canada: Polish Immigrant perishes in Police Action by Richard Basas http://migration.fpatest.org/2007/11/17/canada-polish-immigrant-perishes-in-police-action/comment-page-1/#comment-1185 Richard Basas Tue, 31 Mar 2009 05:06:51 +0000 http://migration.fpatest.org/2007/11/20/canada-polish-immigrant-perishes-in-police-action/#comment-1185 Have you read into the details of the inquiry? I think they echo much of what you wrote above to a great degree but ceases to condemn the act beyond a mere accident. I think we have to define where the point between an accidental death and a death caused my irresponsible actions take place with officers and especially using Tasers, and their value and usage. I agree that this should take place in a court of law, simply for the fact that honouring our victim should have some positive result. Even if the officers would have been declared innocent under the law, the discussion and precedent would justify a court action simply to not have a repeat of this incident in the future. What always struck me as odd is the inability for the RCMP officals to find someone who can communicate in Polish. There is a very large polish speaking community in Canada, and these is no excuse for a country which has nearly 50% of some of its largest cities populated by people not born in Canada and often speaking a different language. It is indeed a shameful incident which no Canadian can be proud of. Thanks for your insight! Have you read into the details of the inquiry?

I can certainly see if he was lunging at them with a knife or some other deadly weapon but a stapler. It seems to me as the officer that initiated the takedown was not sure of what he was actually doing and with 3 other officers backing him up really didnt have a clue as to the situation. He should be tried for manslaughter as he has caused the death of a human being who because of not knowing the english language was totally misunderstood.

It is seldom the case in the middle east that anyone has completely clean hands, but when referring to Iran, there is no need for everyday people in Iran or the Arab world or Israel to justify attacking anyone...this is reasonable no?
