I had no idea people waited so long
***** Post contributed by lyndaforreal *****
Years ago, I woked for the University of Miami in the Intensive English Program. Students there would enroll into the U on condition that they would successfully pass the test after the IEP. They would then spend 4 to 6 years at the U and upon graduation and employment receive their green cards. As I said, it’s been years. After spending the evening with my friends from India who have their masters degrees, have been employed here for 6 - 10 years each, paying taxes, and abiding by all our laws, they STILL don’t have green cards. Don’t have any idea when they will get them. I couldn’t believe it. It is insane. We have a housing crises here in the U.S. We have hundreds of thousands of willing, able and qualified home buyers who won’t buy due to the the uncertainty of their futures in this, their new country. What can the beurocrats NOT SEE? It makes me sick to my stomach. We need to change the policy NOW. Grant these people who have proven themselves green cards immediately. Let them live the American dream. It is a win/win for everyone. What else can I do? I’ve written to the White House. Why is it like this?

Check out my other post today that talks about the 7% quota. That should explain to the rest of the world why the wait takes forever.
