Each year since 9/11, the defense budget is setting a new record. 2008 defense budget is $482 + $93 billion. Why?
The Neocons.
Re: American System of Injustic
True, Semi, but those nations either aren't democratic or at least don't beat the drum of democracy so loud.
So if you don't beat the drum of democracy it's ok to have abuse and corruption? It makes those societies less deserving of condemnation? So why not post relentless threads about their lack of democracy AND their abuse and corruption? So, again, why the desperation to live in this country that violates, oppresses and abuses?

So that there will be more countries around the globe for you to choose from in your quest to live in a democratic country.
Re: American System of Injustic
Yes , justice is not always correct. But at least he is alive today, in an Islamic country he would have been put to death long ago. THen again , lets look at the Pakistani law modified couple years ago.
If a woman was raped and she lost the court battle she ended up going to prison herself.
So , in conlusion , it's better in the west, ESPECIALLY FOR A WOMAN , . IMAGINE IF THIS HAPPENED IN BACKWATERS PAKISTAN, OR AFGHANISTAN, THE POOR GIRL AT AGE 12 IF RAPED AND LEFT ALIVE WOULD BE PUT TO DEATH BY HER ELDERS TO RESTORE FAMILY HONOR. OR KILLED OFF BY MALE MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY

Re: American System of Injustic
Stop being intellectually dishonest. Male suicide rates around the world are 4-5 higher than female rates. And let's be honest about US suicide rates:
Russia 34.3
Japan 24.0
France 18
China 13.9
Germany 13.5
Australia 12.7
Canada 11.9
US 11.0
You have bitterness towards a country for not granting a visa to a girl you only saw twice but claimed as a finace. You got fired by these same evil Americans. Now you play video games and dabble in conspiracy theories all day long. I'm sorry your life sucks, but will it get better by staying in this cycle?
Re: American System of Injustic
Where did you get those numbers. I get 17.6+ rate for the US.
Anyway, I'm bitter at a corrupt and oppressive system, which you wish to see spread only because you have a $25K to $50K job here.
Well, that makes 2 figures you have no clue about. The 17.6 (not 17.6+) figure is for US males, not the whole population. The income figure is way off base as well, Alhamdulillah.
And just because you get fired (probably for either playing video games at work or flirting with a girl online) from your job and a visa is denied because 2 visits does not equal a fiancé, does not equal a corrupt and oppressive system. And just because that country has been the biggest proponent and proliferator of democarcy doesn't mean any other country you live in is not more corrupt and oppressive.
BTW, another huge intellectually dishonest practice is to delete your posts after they have been pointed out as being incorrect.
Re: American System of Injustic
Now, we know where you are coming from, Semi.
Re: American System of Injustic
It's never been a secret. I think we are all trying to figure out where you are coming from (outside of a bitterness toward US).

Re: American System of Injustic
JayR, you should have told your 'girlfriend' about your past relationships and your name change in addition to that the fact she married someone else about a year later makes me think that the grounds for questioning the "validitity of relationship" was justified and thus your bitterness towards the U.S. is not.

You decided to air you personal issues, not me.
Re: American System of Injustic
Here is a fine Immigration lawyer:
Possible problems ** The K-1 visa is a highly reliable visa if done correctly**. Nonetheless, about half of fiancees fail to receive their visa on the day of interview (our firm has a 97% success rate for first day issuance, and 100% eventual success). Failure to issue the visa on the day of the interview can lead to lengthy and grueling delays (we have to go through it every once in a while ourselves, and, believe us, it is not pleasant), and possible denial or return of the petition to the USCIS for “administrative review” and possible revocation. Some of the more common issues that can lead, alone or in combination with other problems, to a denial/failure to issue are: 1. Missing documents
2. Incorrect paperwork
3. Insufficient income/savings of the U.S. citizen sponsor
4. Very large age difference between the couple
5. Fiancee can not obtain written consent from the ex-husband for their child to leave the country
6. Poor English skills of fiancee
7. Couple hasn’t spent enough time together in person
8. Couple lacks sufficient evidence of recent day-to-day contact
9. Fiancee interviews poorly and the consul doubts that there is a bona fide relationship with the U.S. citizen
10. Fiancee has relatives or friends in the U.S. who seem to be taking too large a role in match-making
11. Fiancee was previously in the U.S. and overstayed the visa
12. The U.S. citizen has previously sponsored a foreign national for a green card and the U.S. citizen can not prove that the foreign citizen maintained lawful status
13. Fiancee has a criminal record
14. Fiancee has a serious, contagious illness (such as AIDS, tuberculosis, etc.)
15. Fiancee commits a misrepresentation during the interview (or so it seems to the interviewing officer)
16. Petition includes a document that is deemed to be fraudulent As a general question, the first five problems listed above will result in the Embassy holding the case to see if the petitioner and/or beneficiary can cure the problem with additional documentation or through a second interview. If they fail to do so, the case is sent back to the USCIS. Delays in such cases typically are measured in weeks rather than in months. Problems 6 through 10 above, which controvert the genuineness of the relationship between the couple, are typically sent back to the USCIS for administrative review/revocation or are sent to the Embassy’s Anti-Fraud Unit, which will assign an investigator to go to the fiancee’s home town and interview friends and neighbors to get a better idea of whether the couple’s engagement is for real. Delays in such cases typically exceed six months.
Problems 11 through 16 above involve issues that render the beneficiary excludible from the U.S. as a matter of law. In some cases, however, the Embassy will entertain an argument on the facts that the beneficiary is not excludible (we have done this, for example, with clients that had a criminal conviction that we were able to convince the Embassy was not a crime of “moral turpitude” as defined by the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act). If the Embassy decides that the beneficiary is excludible, an “extreme hardship” waiver is usually available, although such waivers can be difficult to obtain. The typical I-601 Application for an “extreme hardship” waiver takes four to six months to process.
The bold sections are mine, but according to this lawyers legal advertisement, the Fiance Visa application is a highly reliable process unless you screw up the paperwork. Hmmmm…
On the other hand, they do seem to try to screen out bogus relationships, criminals, liars, and those who previously overstayed Visas. Is this an injustice? Hardly. Given the fact that you actually met the woman only twice, it sure sounds like there might be some suspicion that the marriage was simply to get citizenship, rather than an emotional bond. So remind me again, which one of the 16 problems above was your problem?
but, we live in a world where no one ever assumes any responsibility, and everyone needs something, or someone to blame. Presumably you researched the Fiance Visa process ahead of time, or did you just think that your agency would help you when the time came? And of course, none of this problem could be because you screwed up the paperwork, right? So much easier to be posting on “Concentration Camps” and systemic injustice than to admit the problem may not have been an evil government, but well, your fault.
Re: American System of Injustic
Why are you so desperate to live in a country you obviously despise?
And pray tell what country do you now favor where power does not equal abuse + corruption?
If I oppose a countries policy, system or/and government. Im not suppose to live there?
I see and thats how you change the system.
So when an opposition rejects the ideas, policy of a ruling party. They should leave the country and settle down some where else?

It's not opposition, it's hatred. And when you are an immigrant, non citizen? No, you shouldn't crave to continue living there and try to becomce a citizen if those are your feelings.
JayR, your consipiracy theorist mentality is making you paranoid.
