I had written about
The Worst Anti-Family, Anti-Marriage, and Anti-Immigrant Provision of U.S. Law yesterday and thre were two comments.
Both had a similar theme; they agreed that immediate relatives need to be united. Where they took off was "they are not an immediate relative of a US citizen." As soon as the green card holder naturalizes they can immediately* bring in their spouse on a immigrant visa [subject to the limitations of bureaucracy.]
However, the fact remains that it is **NOT JUST* citizen who can sponsor their spouses immediately....even temporary visa holders [H1, L1, J1, F1, B1] workers, students, those on business, exchange etc can sponsor their spouses and minor children to be with them in America Immediately.
The issue is about uniting Spouses of Legal (with a capital `L') permanent residents.
Why this differential treatment ONLY for Green Card Holders...who are highest in the Naturalization queue, on the way to become American Citizen? This is a simple but profound issue that we at UniteFamilies.org are trying to highlight.
