the overwhelming majority of americans dont speak german, and even of those who do, many wouldnt use german text in their profile.
I was simply making an educated guess. Which was wrong, I'm sorry.
not true. alabama, utah, wyoming et al. are even more conservative than texas.
how exactly?
I understand that its bad for you and your wife that the paperwork takes so damn long, but that's not discrimination. public administration taking way too long to get anything done is an experience that locals as well as immigrants are making everywhere around the world.
because laws.
I seriously doubt that you wouldnt have needed the attorney without the anti-immigrant rhetoric.
so... immigrants come into the united states, dont like its laws and they way its public administration works, so the first thing they do after arriving is saying "screw it, I'll be breaking the laws of my host country"... is this what you're saying?
Unlike a lot of the people on here, I’ve actually gone abroad and worked shitty jobs and great jobs, feeling the world and deciding on politics for myself. German example, I worked as a gardener in Ennigerloh and then a marketing representative in Münster.
My wife has a very good degree and has very good work experience with companies like Audi. But because she is not being sponsored by a company (which, first off, a company wouldn’t want to a hire a woman who hasn’t had a baby yet in her late 20’s, that’s besides the point), I’ve come across a lot of contacts to get her a job and each one of them has been the same, referencing her being an immigrant, being that they would ask me if she’s American and then immediately say no thank you after hearing she’s not. One of them straight up told me that because she isn’t a citizen, even if she has the proper papers, they don’t want that kind of political backlash on their team and the people below her would resent her. She would be a higher up.
Yeah, because laws, but after going through the process, I’m saying I understand why so many people skip out on it. The time it takes, the confusing forms, the expense... Obviously I support doing it legally LOL - we paid for it and did it.
As for the lawyer thing - yes we did need one. Not only to interpret all of the papers and represent us in court if needed, but because of the underfunded immigration departments and the sentiment towards immigrants is bringing about a much longer processing time and a higher denial rate. Mind you, she’s not allowed to legally work until we get the papers back. This could be up to 10 months.
Having legal representation means that we will be able to go to court if they deny her papers without legitimate reason, which is possible, with all of this anti-immigration rhetoric.
Yes. Most of them say “screw it” because our process is broken and does not offer guidance in doing so. I personally don’t think that we should hold their hand all the way through the process, but because it’s pretty broken, this is an effect.
