I recently became friends with a girl whom came into America illegally. Her story is like something out of a fictional book, but it’s real.

For the longest time I have always known that it is a difficult journey for immigrants to cross the United States border. I have read many articles, and seen media specials on TV. I have never known how truly hard that journey is and what life is like here in America for them.

I’ve never actually met someone who came into America illegally, raised kids and lived a life. I don’t even know where to begin. Just listening to her story from trying to escape the cartel after they murdered her father, to traveling through the desert. Having to pose with her brother as her husband so she wouldn’t be prostituted out by others. Then there is the life here in America full of domestic violence where her current “baby daddy” (another undocumented citizen) threatens her with deportation and that he would take her kids. I almost didn’t believe it (her stories), Until our other friends told her story and I saw the domestic violence that she struggled with first hand, and how terrified she is . calling the police because of deportation

How we treat people who come to our country “illegally” is shameful and despicable. Human beings pushed into almost slavery because they cannot “legally” become citizens in America, and they are fearful of deportation to a country where they will be murdered who’s and s government that’s seems to be full of corruption in on the brink of falling apart.

I am a bit disgusted that I am an American, that my country willingly voted a president into office that wanted to make it harder for people to get in to our country.

There’s so much that I wanted to say on this topic.
My friend is still here with her kids and family, but it does not seem like living much of a life.

Immigration to USA [F2B or other options]

Hello, I would like to ask for your opinion. ​ My family received Green Card in 1998(Social security number etc.), we went to the USA once (me and my mother), however my father stayed to work and was returning home for a few months and coming back to the USA and doing this for 20 years, me and my mother stayed in Slovakia. He is paying taxes for himself and our family. My and mother's card were not renewed but from my father's side it was all time. I am currently 22 years old, born X.06.1998 I wrote to embassy in Slovakia and they wrote this: I regret to inform you, that then there is not a possibility to renew your card. The green card is valid only for one year if you are out of the USA. If your father is living and working in the US and has a green card, he may apply for the Immigrant visa for you in category F2B if you are not married- There is a five years waiting time since this category is numerically limited. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/v

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our
