My husband and I came from the Czech republic about 12 years ago. Ever since that , we did everything we could to be able to stay in this country. We have learned the language,raised a child, continued our professional education, worked, paid taxes, filed a case with a immigration lawyer..... Did not get so lucky with trusting to our sponsor,who from beginning of this case knew, that he will be asked to provide his tax refunds for his company. Few years later we were surprised, he was not able to do so, therefore he asked his family member to use his taxes with same company name. That was not good enough for our case and when immigration asked for maybe him showing any assets he could pay me with, all he had to say was: " That's all I can do - I'm done..." That is THE END of our American Dream.... We have tried to call few lawyers, but the only suggestion we got was : Married the U.S. Citizen. My husband and I refused to do so.My opinion is that this is wrong message sending out to the world saying:....if you lie and enter a fake marriage you can stay - versus if you try do this the right way, you may not have a chance.
I don't know how to get over this anger with this person, who is always going to stay here and enjoy this lake house and business, where he don't have to pay his taxes for. For 12 years I had dreams about getting my Green Card... how are we going to celebrate! And every morning when my 7 years old girl saying her Pledge of Allegiance , I'm thinking... this would be me one day The U.S. Citizen.
Instead, I'm waiting to be removed by immigration Judge and just hopping I will have a chance to finish my school and get my diploma, before I have to leave.
