Re: Rights of non - American wife!
Within 'there' rights? Do you mean 'their?'
So - they let in all kids of riff raff but I can be sent back, torn from my childen and husband? What a situation!

Re: Rights of non - American wife!
So - does this mean I have to apply for the right to go live in US with my US husband & the 2 US kids I have raised?
If so, just how long does this take, and why, may one ask, is it not as it is in UK, where a spouse has an automatic right?
It sounds to me as though I, married (in Chicago) to a US citizen for 16 years, and a professional person bringing some $600,000 into the country, have just about the same rights as the illiterate, state-supported Indian fiance of a Pole!
We're coming to US in less than 2 months - why can I not come in under tourist visa & then apply for whatever is needed?

Your attitude of superiority has apparently resulted in you screwing up your move to the US because you think that somehow the rules don't apply to you. Try explaining to the immigration officer at the airport that you should be treated differently to the "Indian fiance of a Pole". I'm sure it'll go down great.

Some people's definitions of riff-raff are rather different. Personally I can't stand the idea of you being allowed into the country.

Mister should apply for his UK citizenship, so it will be easier for him to move back over when all this goes in the crapper.
OTOH, if they're moving to Texas, she might just fit in.

Even the Texans aren't racist scum like her. I'm sure her attitude to the Hispanic immigration officers will come back to bite her in the ass if she ever makes it over to Texas.

Re: Rights of non - American wife!
My house is sold, new owners want to move in in 7 weeks, my kids need to start their new schools... any useful ideas, as opposed to things that are impossible?
I am told that people in my position have in the past entered on tourist visas and then applied for residency whilst extending that...

Yeah, and? Why do you think you are something better? The "illiterate" Indian
could actually be a person who changes the world, given the opportunity.
I suggest dropping the attitude...
This country has laws, and the laws don't change just because you are British or
have some money (which is not all that much, btw...)
