Just got back from the immigration attorney's office.
$340 for transferring our case from the greencard dept. to the visa dept. That went to the esteemed Dept. of Homeland Security. (don't even get me started on that.) And then $150 went to pay the lawyer for 25 minutes of his time.
I'm less upset about paying the lawyer - I know that's cheap for an immigration lawyer - than I am about paying DHS. They raise the prices because they know they have people like us by the balls and we have to pay whatever they charge.
On top of that, my grandma is dying. So today has kind of SUCKED.

Hi there,
This editorial in the NY Times might give you guys some consolation. It's too bad the NYT is quickly shrugged, or even laughed, off by so many who are blind to this issue (not that I'm giving a free pass to NYT ... some of their articles are akin to liberal stirring of hornets' nests ... for example, over the weekend, their piece about global disaster frequency and climate change....)
Regardless, I think you and I are squarely on the same page here, and hopefully others will come on board soon!!

Thanks for that article, Brad. It is so true, and I wish more people would just use their common sense to ask themselves, "Is this REALLY what's right for us and for them?"
Thanks.
