Readers must not act upon any information without first seeking advice from a qualified attorney. Sylvie, a US citizen, had married an alien and petitioned for him, but the marriage was not a happy one. She sought advice not so much on the relevant immigration law as she did on dealing with matters of the heart. Now, in a subsequent posting she thanks the viewers for their responses.
Immigration laws prevent bright students from attending college.
Immigration laws have led to an enforcement effort reaching the proportions of a military campaign on our Southwestern border. The law separates aliens from US citizen spouses and children for having committed some relatively minor offense long ago. Sylvie's request reminds us that law is only one facet of immigration. Ultimately it is not about the law, it is about peoples' lives. Comments will be accepted until August 4, 2000.
