There are a lot of students at UT Austin (huge Texas state U) who are
not USA citizens. I've talked to a few of them IRT their "immigration
status" to use a description.It can be a nightmare. The various agencies can blow it out their
wazoo like it don't matter, but the applicant bears the brunt.
Excruciatingly long process that can derail for the lack of interest
(or worse) of someone in an office somewhere, then you _start over_.One suggestion is to tap into a local University if possible for any/
all help, including getting others to write those letters to congress
on your behalf. Good luck! --D-y- Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text -
That's really the catch on the illegal immigration stuff isn't it.
We've got to get control of the borders, but the system is screwed
beyond FUBAR for people trying to do it legally. Amnesty screws over
the folks who tried to do it legally by rewarding illegals with what
they couldn't get.
It's SO screwed that there are tons of good people who want to come
here, work, learn, and contribute, and we need them, but they can't
because the politicians have blown it SO bad. At least we aren't alone
on this. Mexico's treatment and laws are brutal, and totally corrupt,
Canada is difficult as hell, etc...
It'd be way too smart, I guess, to build a clear, simple, rational,
fair, and open system to allow people to come here that want to
contribute.
