Immigration i130 Question?
I came here from Mexico illegally in 1992 when I was 9 yrs old, yes I jumped the fence!! I went to school here in the USA but did not finish high school. In 1998 my mom’s husband (not my father) petition for me on the I130 law. Now is 2009, I been married to a US born citizen since 2001 and I have two kids. I work as a leasing consultant for a pretty big company owned by a family member, I use a fake social security number from a person that has passed away, they take taxes out of my paycheck every two weeks, I also filed taxes every year. I mean I do everything a real "US CITIZEN" do, I help people find housing for a living. But I have not filed any paperwork with the Immigration office since my i130 petition which i think it never got approved (I have not checked). Now my question is, if my wife petition for me would the I130 help me in anyway? I mean I heard that I would get grandfathered because the petition for i130 was filed before 2001. Now my job would help me in any kind of way if I need to go that route. Or what would be the best way to start my petition, I do not want to go back to Mexico and have to wait for an appointment. I have my wife and kids I have to take care of. Also most of my uncles and cousins are all legal here, or became legal. PLEASE HELP ME!! Any Lawyers that want to take the case send me an email! I stay in Houston, TX
first of all i130 always take long time .
the best thing may you do to cancel the i130 and let your wife apply for you it usually takes less than 1 year but you have to be careful and you should ask a good lawyer . and may be check this website

Do you know what Stop means as opposed to Slow down? lol?
Stop vs. Slow Down
A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy. He thinks that he is smarter than the deputy because he is a lawyer from New York and is certain that he has a better education then any cop from Houston, Texas. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the Texas deputy’s expense. The deputy says," License and registration, please." "What for?" says the lawyer. The deputy says, "You didn’t come to a complete stop at the stop sign." Then the lawyer says, "I slowed down, and no one was coming." "You still didn’t come to a complete stop," says the deputy. "License and registration, please." The lawyer says, "What’s the difference?" "The difference is you have to come to complete stop, that’s the law. License and registration, please!" the deputy says. The lawyer says, "If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I’ll give you my license and registration, and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don’t give me the ticket." "That sounds fair. Please exit your vehicle, sir," the deputy says. At this point, the deputy takes out a squirt gun and starts spraying the lawyer all over his face. He then asks, "Do you want me to stop or just slow down?"

A Michigan woman and her family were vacationing in a small new England town where Paul Newman and his family often visited.
One Sunday morning, the woman got up early to take a long walk. After a brisk five-mile hike, she decided to treat herself to a double-dip chocolate ice cream cone. She hopped in the car, drove to the center of the village, and went straight to the combination bakery/ice cream parlor.
There was only one other patron in the store: Paul Newman, sitting at the counter having a doughnut and coffee.
The woman’s heart skipped a beat as her eyes made contact with those famous baby-blue eyes. The actor nodded graciously, and the star-struck woman smiled demurely. Pull yourself together! she chided herself. You’re a happily married woman with three children; you’re forty-five years old, not a teenager! The clerk filled her order, and she took the double-dip chocolate ice cream cone in one hand and her change in the other. Then she went out the door, avoiding even a glance in Paul Newman’s direction. When she reached her car, she realized that she had a handful of change but her other hand was empty. Where’s my ice cream cone? Did I leave it in the store? Back into the shop she went, expecting to see the cone still in the clerk’s hand or in a holder on the counter or something. No ice cream cone was in sight. With that, she happened to look over at Paul Newman.
His face broke into his familiar warm friendly grin and he said to the woman: "You put it in your purse."
Paul Newman, got to love him. I would have done the same thing, ice cream in purse and coins in hand.
What do u think Cardinal calls for broad-based legalization plan illegal aliens ?
In arguments rich in biblical allusion, church and social activists Monday took aim at the nation’s immigration policies — laws they contended split families, criminalize undocumented workers and undercut America’s reverential self-image as a land of opportunity.
"There are 200 million migrants," Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of the Catholic Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston told those gathered for The Metropolitan Organization’s Clergy Summit: Welcoming the Stranger and Immigration Reform. "War, famine, economic collapse drive them, and it’s unstoppable. In our own country, 12 million undocumented people work and live in the shadows."
Borrowing language from a 2002 Catholic Conference of Bishops policy statement, DiNardo called for legalization of undocumented workers already in the country.
"Without some form of broad-based legalization," DiNardo said, "the problems will just fester and fester."
Janice Huie, resident bishop for the United Methodist Church’s Texas Annual Conference, joined the call for granting legal status to undocumented workers. In May, she said, Texas Methodist leadership formally opposed job-site raids and criminalization of undocumented workers and their indefinite detention.
"We would support policies that point to the best of who we are," she said.
Huie and others reported an intensification of anti-immigrant feeling in the U.S. fueled by the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
"I am encountering hateful, stereotyped and racist anti-immigrant language that is almost acceptable in the mainstream," Huie said.
‘Red meat issue’
Rhetoric surrounding immigration issues has heated as talk radio programs exploit the issue, suggested Houston immigration lawyer, Charles Foster, chairman for Americans for Immigration Reform.
"They found this red meat issue bashing immigrants," he said.
Foster’s group has launched a $20 million campaign to back immigration reform. Current immigration policies, whether they regard building border fences or regulating the number of legal entrants, often prove unworkable, he said.
"The annual quota for semi-skilled workers, as opposed to families or professionals is 5,000," he said. The nonprofit Pew Hispanic Center estimates 500,000 undocumented workers entered the U.S. annually from 2005-08.
Government efforts to dislodge undocumented workers also are ineffective, Foster said.
"If these workers risk their lives coming here," he said, "they’re not going home. They’re going further down the economic scale."

I guess the Catholic Church has never heard of "the separation of church and state".
And I love this living in the shadows. Living in the shadows? Let me give you a clue Bishop. these people are protesting in the streets, standing on street corners looking for work, shopping, living, driving ALL IN PLAIN SIGHT.
Maybe the Catholic Church should work harder on improving Mx relationship with God and leave us out of it.
Should McCain accept the endorsement of James Baker, whose firm represented the Saudis vs. the 9/11 families?
‘The opening defense salvo in what promises to be a bruising legal battle was fired last week when a trio of lawyers from Baker Botts, a prestigious Houston-based law firm, filed a motion on behalf of Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz, the Saudi defense minister. The motion attacked the 9-11 lawsuit as a "broadside indictment of Saudi government, religion and culture." It also argued that, as the third-ranking official of a foreign government, their client is immune from any U.S. legal action and that he should therefore be dismissed from the case altogether.
But in laying out their arguments, Sultan’s U.S. lawyers also presented highly detailed new evidence of the Saudi government’s role in funneling millions of dollars to a web of Islamic charities that are widely suspected by U.S. officials of covertly financing the operations of Al Qaeda and other international terrorist groups.’
http://www.newsweek.com/id/58274
‘ For months, members scoured every piece of data the U.S. intelligence community had on al Qaeda’s cash. The team soon realized that its most basic assumptions about the source of bin Laden’s money–his personal fortune and businesses in Sudan–were wrong. Dead wrong. Al Qaeda, says William Wechsler, the task force director, was "a constant fundraising machine." And where did it raise most of those funds? The evidence was indisputable: Saudi Arabia. America’s longtime ally and the world’s largest oil producer had somehow become, as a senior Treasury Department official put it, "the epicenter" of terrorist financing. This didn’t come entirely as a surprise to intelligence specialists. But until the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, U.S. officials did painfully little to confront the Saudis not only on financing terror but on backing fundamentalists and jihadists overseas. Over the past 25 years, the desert’

MAHAL : Why do Republicans seem to see ‘terrorist Muslims’ in every place except where they actually are? Are ‘economic considerations’ more important than eliminating radical Islam?
But Republicans love Saudi Arabia?
hmm… why did Bush invade Iraq? as a distraction from the real bad guys maybe?
EDIT: Did a Republican just say that Democrats were using racism referring to terrorists?
That’s like Keith Richards directing a heroin intervention and telling someone that "they have a problem"
