Ok here I go:

So years ago my older sister met a man in Kansas, and they ended up getting together, and getting married. Well the thing is he is an immigrant. He is originally from Mexico, and came here a few years back.

some back ground. He came up 2004, and met my sister and they met, and then got married but he decided to go back to mexico and do it the "right way." He talked to alot of citizens that he worked with and hung out with and he got the feeling that everyone felt he was less of a person because he didnt have his papers. Now mind you, this is a good man, about 33 years old, and he worked and and took care of his family. He didn't pay taxes or anything, so there is one thing. but he did give money to neighbors and his local church in Kansas. He never took from anyone. he is what a "citizen" should be. you know, giving, selfess service, helping the homeless, and things of this nature. He is a GREAT man.

So now he went back to mexico; it has been about 3 years almost waiting in mexico and my sister raising their daughter that she had when he was in mexico. So how he has a daughter he hasnt seen. My sister is working her butt off and she is not getting assistance, she only works for about $17.00/hr and that is an ok salary, but she doesnt have cable, internet, any phone features, no cell phone, no new car, old beater, no brand name anything. she works to live and feed her daughter. now my sister hasnt harmed a soul and we all help her out when we can, but i just feel bad that she doesnt have her husband to take care of her.

So now she got an appointment to go see if he could get his papers since they are married and they have a daughter.

So he is not a criminal and has no priors. non drinker, non smoker. and when they presented themselves there, my sister said that they treated people like crap. like they were cattle.

So in the end the judge said that he has to wait till 2015 to get his citizenship. He has been waiting for about 3 years already, doesnt that count for anything?

Is there a way to speed up the process?

I know that lots of immigrants try to get in each day, illegally and all but this is someone who actually makes our country a better place. I see it anyways. I know none of you all care about this, but you dont come across these type of people everyday.

any info?
