  • 10-Year Bars Split Up Families
    angel commented on the article | over 2 years ago

    All my family members (parents and siblings) are naturalized US citizens. I voluntarily left the US when my fiance did not marry me - I was in the US for more than 9 years. The past nine years was spent fighting for my impending removal for my failure to marry, since I went to the US on a fiance's visa. The US law says I should have left the US right after my fiance didn't marry me in 1998. But I have an approved petition from my US citizen parent since 1990, that is why I fought hard to stay. However, the judge said I had to leave and wait for 10 years before I am eligible to go back to the US. I have a child from a previous relationship - was with me for 9 years in the US but also left after the court's decision was made-  who signified his intentions to serve in the military.


    This rule indeed splits family.


    I think this 10 year bar rule should be removed/modify when the immigration laws are reformed later this year. However, caution should be look into carefully so as not to abuse/misuse this rule's removal particularly on the influx of people (to the US) who just want to create worldwide terror and fear.
