Green card by registry-- time to UPDATE

It is time to UPDATE this quaint outdated law which was originally meant to provide green card to those who had lived in the US for a long time.

This law does not make any sense now. Last time it was updated was in 1986 aimed for all immigrant who had established long residence here, i.e, lived in US for a bit more than a decade (since 1972).

It is time to UPDATE it to more recent date now.

Sorry for the repost but, it pains me to see all the fight and bickering even among immigrants over peanuts-progress and bills, when there is such a simple solution to cure all this cruelty/malady of US immigration system.

Remember, green card through registry has been here since 1929 which was meant for those who had lived in US for a long time. Last time it was UPDATED was 1986 by Reagan in 1986 immigration bill and provided green card to those had lived in US since 1972 then (no matter what your status was).

Pass on the word please.

PS: note there are immigrant-haters here as well

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

Navigating the U.S. Family-Based Immigration Visa Process

For families hoping to immigrate to the United States, the visa process can be overwhelming. With so much uncertainty and complexity involved, it's important to have a clear understanding of the steps and requirements. The first step is determining which family-based immigration visa applies to you. There are two types: immediate relatives and family preference. The former includes spouses, parents, and unmarried children under the age of 21 who are U.S. citizens. Family preference visas are for more distant relatives such as siblings, married children of U.S. citizens, and spouses and unmarried children of permanent residents. Once you know which visa you're eligible for, you'll need to file a petition with USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services). This step requires providing documentation such as birth certificates and marriage licenses, as well as proof of your relationship to the U.S. citizen or permanent resident sponsoring you. After your petitio...
