Reply #21: getthefacts, talk to an immigration attorney.

Do it immediately.

Your situation is unusual. Do you think that we should simply let everyone and anyone who, like you, wants to live in the U.S. come here, get a job and live?

If you do, do you think that the American border should simply be opened to all who are willing to commit no crimes?

And if you think that, do you think that we should do away with national boundaries altogether for any purpose concerning the movement of people?

Do you think nations should exist at all?

If not, what would you put in their place in so far as government is concerned?

If you have open immigration for all, how do you define a nation?

If you think immigration to the U.S. should be based on some criteria, what do you think they should be?

I realize that I am asking too many questions, but this is a complicated matter. Laws have to apply universally to everyone. The facts of your situation arouse sympathy in a way, but then in another way, it seems that you just liked it here and thought you should be able to be here without any regard for anyone else.

As I said, you, personally, need to see an immigration attorney asap. And if the first attorney can't help you, find another one.
