Even though i know that tons of people are turned down when they apply for the student visa, it doesnt help. I think that partly why she was denied was due to descrimnation because Singapore is predominatly a Muslim country...its also Buddhist as well....but i just think that part of the reason she was denied was due to discrimnation because many terrorist have come into this country on student visa's.
You i understand the suspision that the government needs to have, because i agree that it should be tougher to get over here in some respects. But i dont think that everyone should have to be penilized and discrimnated against for it.
This is a great country. But i find myself losing faith in it.
They failed to protect the innocents at the WTC but now they are failing to protect those innocents who have nothing to do with the WTC in anyway. And now they are (and have been cause i know im not the only one) failing to protect their own citizens who pursue happyness.
I understand and know the need for security. And it is hard and almost impossible to tell terrorist out of a bunch of people. Also i know its not just the terrorist they are protecting against, they are protecting against those who just want to find a way over here so they can use US money and US resources to further themselves and give their kids a better life, and the government wants to look out for its citizens who are already here more so than foriengers.
But there has to be a better way than this...there has to be something that can be done...

Im a full-time student without a job so we couldnt have tried the fiancee visa. We already looked into it and there isnt anyway that i can show that i could support her over here in the US yet. So ive been appling for places, but there just hasnt been any luck. I have an interview with Citibank next week. hopefully that will work out. But it just seems no one wants to hire a college student 2 credits from an AA degree and 1 1/2 years of working exp who can type 92-96 wpm....*shrugs* But after ive been working for a year i guess we will try the fiancee visa. I just hope i get hired somewhere soon.
I guess i gotta keep my chin up...although ive though about becoming a resident of canada or mexico or mabe new zealand i doubt thats what ill do..lol...anyways....sorry for posting up here i just needed to get that out. thanks for listening guys

All of them have tougher immigration/citizenship laws than the US. For an interesting perspective, compare what an American needs to do to become a citizen of Mexico, vs. what a Mexican needs to do to become a citizen of the US.

Despite the recent surge of xenophobia, America is still one of the most welcoming countries to immigrants. I am a first-generation American, and quite glad of the fact my parents were able to leave their homeland and come here.

I mean, gods, otherwise, I'd be eating *English* *cooking*. Yech!
 

Singapore

.. isn't really a predominantly Muslim country. It's mostly Chinese.

I can see you're angry, but don't diss the US. If you've stayed in some other countries you'll realise what the US is all about, and what's great (and bad) about it.
 

You say they failed (hmm like we are the only country that fails to stop terrorist attacks. What about all the attacks they DO stop that you dont hear about....?)to protect against a terriosist attack then you complain that its hard to come over here...hmmm.


I think this thread might get closed because it a little too politcal. If you want to go become a citzen of another country then go for it, dont let the door hit you on the way out!

Grass is always greener on the other side...
