A Republican and a Democrat were walking down the street when they came to a homeless person. The Republican gave him his business card and told him to stop by for a job. He then took $20 out of his pocket and handed it to him.
The Democrat was impressed, and when they came to another homeless person, he decided it was his turn to help. So he reached into the Republican's pocket and gave the homeless man $50.

i'll probably get in trouble with the fuzzy one for this, but here is the link that shows who's been reporting

In a practical "let me give you some advice" way, your statements are true. In a "let's make a law that applies to everyone" way, they are wrong.
US citizens should be able to meet and marry anyone they want from anywhere in the world. Period. The government owes it to the rest of us to assure that your fiancee is no threat to the country and that neither you or she will spnge off the rest of us. We can do that easily. Drop the affidavit of support altogether (there is no such thing if you marry the girl next door) and simply disqualify any fiancee/wife AND the sponsoring US citizen AND any resulting family from any means based assistance for 10 years after the green card is issued. The affidavit is BS anyway, especially in a recession. You have a job today, so what?
the government does not need to get involved in relationships, family finances and such (as if they have any control over their own finances, they are going to tell ME how to run my house?)
As I have said before, the visa is used to enter the country, that is all. People from VWP prgram countries and Canada do not even need one. The fiancee visa is really nothing more than a 90 day visitor visa with the option to adjust status IF one gets married.
That said, I agree, if you cannot visit your fiancee and are one of these that posts hundreds and hundreds of whiney topics about "how long it takes" because you cannot afford a plane ticket to visit or your boss won't give you time off at your cashier job, you really are biting off more than you can chew to bring someone from a foreign country to marry you. It is WAY expensive to do so and the government fees are NOTHING!
That said, there are practical uses for the fiancee visa. For one thing it is the only one that allows a fiancee with children age 18-20. That can be a very important factor for many people.
Basically I am not one to ASK the government to further restrict what I can do. They have an obligation to protect OTHER people from what I choose, and nothing else. If my choice of spouse is no threat to anyone else and I must pay for my own decisions...what is the problem?

1. sorry about the ordeal!
2. everything about this process SUX!!
3. some MORON will come along and tell you deal with it, it's a privilege, not a right!!!

Obama couldn't find his azz in broad daylight with both hands and a GPS. How is this guy going to create real jobs for Americans out of thin air? He has managed to employ 1 million newly arrived legal and illegal immigrants during his tenure so far. But what has this clown done for Americans? You know...the people that voted for "change". Looks like they got what they voted for. With change like that...who needs enemies?
His track record so far is dismal. And that is being polite.

Fortunately our rights are not subject to persoanl opinion and the Supreme Court has determined what the Right means and who it applies to. Other opinions are acedemic.

Fortunately our rights are not subject to opinion. Non issue.

I don't think it's that easy...Nobody is going to make her leave when her conditional greencard expires...she has rights too, she can ROC on her own if she has enough evidence of a bonified marriage. Like the OP mentioned in his post SHE CAME HER TO MARRY HIM and like someone mentioned above, if she had to give up all she was doing back in her home country to move her and start a life with him and has nothing to go back hme to, then she deserves to be here and he just has to deal with it.
Sorry for what you're going through OP, but NO you can't have her deported, at least without evidence of fraud.

Hawaii is a state of mind. So, that would make Obama a figment of the imagination, and the past two years just a bad dream.

My name is Steven. I'm an Organizer....and an abuser.

This is totally uncalled for as well as off-base. To suggest any such thing under the circumstances as presented is not only inaccurate, it is also unkind and callous. Regardless, the OP has not asked for your judgments or speculations. If you cannot offer something useful to this thread then it is better not to participate in it at all.
Bluehill, I am sorry for your heartache and loss. I hope you will be able to recover and get back on track with your life soon.

That was me, and Williams was the moderator that suspended me. Then I wrote him back and said something like "you must have been bullied a lot growing up" and he extended my suspension!

wow, if you trespass here, my pit bull is not going to be your problem

It used to be true but not any more. Only by filing AOS with EAD can one obtain it.
