Quote:We have a tenant from Columbia who has been here 6 years on a work visa with his family (Wife + 2 kids).  He applied for citizenship via his sponsor and it has been delayed for over 2 years.  He informed me a few months ago that things were once again progressing toward obtaining citizenship.  Here's the kicker ..... for 6 years, his wife was not eligible to seek a job due to their classification and now his oldest son, who came here at age 15 is now 21 and considered on his own (even though he is finishing up college) and will not be eligible to obtain citizenship with his family.  He must apply as a single adult and be sponsored.  This could result in him being an illegal immigrant in the near future.

 

I know this is a very unique situation but there's something wrong with our system when families are broken up because of red tape in our process.
