counts of making false statements to federal officials. Allegations
he created web sites for an Islamic group that praised suicide

If I was a terrorist, I sure as hell wouldn't be trying to get into the US
using a marriage-based visa ... I think the INS needs to spend their time
investigating the people they let in on employment-based and student-type
visas ... obviously, as we all know, these are the easiest ones to get.

This assumes that we don't have more than enough citizen terrorists already grown on our soil.

Timothy McVeigh was clearly a terrorist. But in my mind so is the Ku Klux Klan, and the White Citizens' Councils and all that rot, yet the word "terrorist" is rarely applied to the tactics still used in some parts of the county by these totally homegrown native citizen organizations.

We don't need terrorists to screw up our elections. That s what we have the Supreme Court for.

I don't know about a freeze, but they are probably running another security check... which wouldn't be unusual considering the high alert on security within the US these days. And then the change over from INS to Homeland Security on March 1st. I was told that after that they would probably have to wait for a new type of naturalization certificate to be printed (for HS)... or hopefully they will be able to use up the certificates they already have. The lady told me that they didn't know at this point...
Anyway, it's good that you feel better about the delay, now that you know where you stand....

Why not? Employment based and student based visas will limit the type of
people.
If the terrorist has no college qualifying background, he probably isn't
going to get a student visa.
If the terrorist is older, and is a freshman, that might raise flags.
If the terrorist doesn't qualify for a work visa or can't find a
sponser, that might be a problem.

Plus, married to a USC shortens the time to naturalization.
Citizens have more opportunities for getting employment that might be
helpful to terrorist organizations.

Remember Kevin Cosner, the Russian in No Way Out.
He came to the US when he was young and eventually worked his way up to
work at the Pentagon.

And everybody knows how movies are reflective of real life. Like, last
summer there was this movie about this guy who was a quasi-spider and he had
all these powers and there was this green goblin...

Wonder if they'll arrest the owners of those companies mentioned in the
report on Iraq for supplying goods illegally to the country.

Are you suggesting that these kind of spys don't or didn't exist? There
was a documentary on the History Channel about this a while back.
