Been gone awhile, and it ain't over yet.... Here's the story.

Immigration sucks. It took over four years for me to get a green card. ( and $15,000 in Solicitor fees).
Although, I did it the "Old Fashioned" way. Illegally- I over stayed my visa.

Well, hell, I would have reservations about letting you in too.

Getting a resident visa is near impossible unless you have some in demand skill set while living abroad. Getting into the USA is half the battle. Once here, it becomes a matter of time & money ( and a few political connections does not hurt). Your average Latino coming from Central America with only lint in his pocket does not stand a chance. The first meeting with a lawyer to set the wheels in motion and take deportation off the table involved a $7,500 retainer. Any undocumented can become documented, it just takes deep pockets.
