Note to U.S. Citizens: If your foreign national spouse entered the U.S.
illegally (without a visa or visa waiver), you should wait to apply for
adjustment of status when Sec 245(i) is extended. Check back here
periodically for updates.

Could someone explain this to me?.

Hi:

Any competent immigration attorney will be able to explain it.

It means you will be waiting a long time as there have been no signs of
 this happening any time soon.

Looks like a perfectly good question to me. Wish I new the answer but I

Small men like to put others down to boost themselves up

What in the world are you talking about??
I answered the question.
An amnesty for illegal immigrants is nowhare in sight.
Am I doing something wrong by stating the facts?
There is NO amnesty in sight. Would you rather I told him to wait in the
US as there was bound to be one soon?  Am I putting someone down because
I don't want them to have false hope?

Where do you see me putting someone down?? My original response is below.

I stand by my original response.

Hi:

You hit a pet peeve of mine -- 245(i) has been unfairly tagged as an
"amnesty" --  it was no such thing.  It was enacted as simply a
procedural change for budgetary reasons back in 1994.

Before September 1994, you became eligible for a visa, but were
ineligable for adjustment -- you simply went abroad and consular
processed.  In fact, it was often easier and quicker than adjustment
to do that.

However, in 1996, the 3/10 year bars were added to the law.  So 245(i)
took on a substantive meaning.

There is debate going on now that the current law has the effect of
creating an underground class which is not a good thing.  Thee is a
possiblity that 212(a)(9) might be modified in someway so that
"illegals" have to leave in order to get a green card.  If they are
denied, then the government has no need to deport them.

Sounds good to me.

To followup my last post!
Maybe you need to read what I have said.

What trolls. I have responded to at least 3 recent questions from this
same person. Here are short versions of the questions and answers

1. 125 percent of poverty level?

answer. I posted the official BCIS doc link for I-864P

2. Previous marriages a problem?
answer. Not usually, but watch out for Mumbai

3. 245(i) extension
answer... You will be waiting a long time for this to happen.

So please, Raul, tell me what the hell you are talking about and please
tell me why my response to question 3 makes me a  "small" man?

Am I not being helpful in answering the questions as honestly as I can?

Why do you wish you knew the answer? Did your foreign spouse enter the
US without a visa or visa waiver? Just what kind of entry would that
constitute? In other words, in what other way would s/he enter the US?

And before anyone asks, I already answered SA's question about this in
another thread.
raul - 31 Aug 2003 22:32 GMT

I would refer you to a thread here called "o/t - driven to cynicism".
This may put my comment in some kind of context.

The only posts you quoted in my response was the original post and my
post. If are going to say bad things about someone, at least include the
post you are referring to.

I meant "the only posts you quoted in YOUR response"
