How do we change this system?

[baron555 934]

I have to admit, i've never been one to vote.

I am sorry, but many many many men and women have died for you to have that right.....the right to vote.

It is really bold of you, IMHO, for you to use this fine country's immigration system when you yourself are not an upstanding citizen?

I never missed a vote, not one ever since turning 18.

Baron, that's harsh.

Apathy can be turned around by someone learning a lesson. I think Nate might be one of those people who will find his way to the polling place in the future.

Yep. Thanks Rebecca Jo. I've read a lot of Baron's posts on this site, and he takes snipes at pretty much everyone. Anyway, just because i have not voted up to this point doesn't mean that i never will. I've always been the type to stay away from politics because i always felt as though it is basically out with one crooked politician and in with another, but if there is somebody out there who i feel as though can TRULY make a difference for the better, i will vote.

GO to http://www.usajobs.opm.gov/ and apply if there are any job openings available. If you think you can do better, then please apply for a position in the government, they are always looking for new ideas.

The immaturity I have seen lately from those going through process just amazed me.

I *heart* you for saying this.

'mind numbingly bad' ???

I don't worry about Baron555's sarcastic swipes any more because I added him to my ignore list.

And the right to abstain.

its just a case of waiting, like everyone else is , and has done before you. its not "mind numbingly bad" its to protect their country against all threats foreign & national. Yes its heart breaking to be apart for 7 months, but that's just a small price to pay to then be able to live in a country doing its best to protect you from people getting in just to cause mass heartbreak.

Well said

are you so naive that you honestly believe those were the only attacks anyone has ever planned against the US? do you honestly think that the government hasnt prevented any? of course they have, and screening processes are just one of the many ways they get the information they need to protect you from having two policemen showing up at your door to tell you that after all the trouble you went through to get her there, your wife has just been killed in an attack.

yes its one of the many ways you are lucky enough to live in a country where your government actually tries to protect you. the fact that you are so ungrateful for this is astonishing. i have been separated from my fiance for months as well, but i can see past the hurt i feel now, knowing that there is a reason for it, and that it might just save my life without me knowing someday.

im sorry if this upsets you but sincerely from me, and i think i can safely say on behalf of anyone ever effected by terrorism, we dont give a damn if you personally feel trampled on, put out and violated. if you dont want the protection, save your fiance the hassle, and join her in Russia.

This is for you Well said.

And are you so naive as to believe the government's mind numbing propaganda that they are actually doing something with your petition during this hideous delay? Wake up please! It sits on a shelf and rots for the whole time until the last 15 minutes.

If they really needed all these months and months and months on end to screen your fiance for terrorism, then what about the years when Vermont issued the NOA2s in 30 days? How did they do it that quickly? Were they being negligent in screening fiances for terrorism? How many terrorist fiances are here now and have been here for all these years? Why haven't they blown anything up yet?

The process is a joke, the hideous delays are a joke, their boldfaced lies are a joke, and the whole damn operation is a joke. But this joke is on us.

No one on this board can make your wait time any shorter, so why don't you try this venture that I am posting here for you.

for them they are willing to

It's either people up in arms over the wait, or up in arms over the fees.

You can't have both, it's just that simple.

Spanish-language only? Even with 4 years of Spanish in high school, I wouldn't know what they were talking about.

Put it this way...the event is mainly for illegals. Something you won't EVER see them say. Though pretty obvious when its ONLY SPANISH in an English speaking country with an illegal alien problem stemming from mexico.
