I'm waiting to go in front of an immigration judge in order to get a denial of my green-card renewal reverted. The immigration officer that denied my green-card extension didn't believe it was sufficient evidence of a real marriage that we build a house, got a car, health insurance, 2 dogs, travelled together etc etc..
Last week I had to go to the immigration services to get a special permission in order to travel for business. It took a bit of going back an forward but in the end they extended my residence status for 6 months allowing me to travel, had I just left I would have been barred from re-entry and lost all options to return. The only reason I got it was because I could demonstrate having 20+ people on payroll over the past couple of years (although I don't have that now).... I could show I was "adding" to the local economy..
The system is fucked up because of people like brassmonkey that "see a immigrant" that is receiving something and automatically assume that their gain is his loss....
