So why didn't she follow the law?She did -- she got married and applied for adjustment of status, which is what you're supposed to do. She just didn't have any idea that a deportation order had been issued as a result of the asylum application filed by the notario.

No. I have a friend who married a Chinese lady and while she has her green card, she still has to take the test to become a citizen.

Don't blame me or the senator's wife because your son was given shabby advice. Feeling stuffed?
Nope, not feeling "stuffed". My son was not given shabby advice. They didn't marry here because they weren't ready to marry. As I said, she honored her student visa and went home, she also honored her father's request by going home. After my son went to Japan to meet her family, get a job and become legal there, her father gave his consent for them to marry and her to live in the US. Honor (as well as the law)is very important to that culture, apparently more than to many other cultures. Then they began working the legal route for her to come back here as his wife. Your "schooling" falls short on creating any sympathy here. And I still say any bleeding heart can stuff it.

Kick this illegal _itch out of the country.She did not enter the country illegally. And xenophobia is not an appealing trait.

Here is another pic of Jennifer Martin.
Elizabeth Campell (left; Georgia Tech), Angela Frechette (Text100) and Jennifer Martin (GCI) also attended the summit.
Notice the same attributes?

Thus, she never entered the country with the intent of getting married -- which is what my wife would have been doing on her last return trip from Colombia.You're right. She fraudulently entered on a tourist visa as shown by her application for a student visa. Then the mysterious "notario" decides to file an application for asylum on her behalf.
Um, sure. Next you know there will be some polonium or elbonium found to have wiped her memory. It will then be determined she was kidnapped by FARC dwarfs.

I have no sympathy for either of them. They broke the law.
An American citizen marries a woman who is here with a legal student visa. Exactly what law have they broken???

No. Conditional Permament Resident status upon completion of processing, which could be hindered if she was here illegally when they got married.

"Don't blame me or the senator's wife because your son was given shabby advice. Feeling stuffed?"
And it seems we all got bad advice, because the easiest thing to do is send the future spouse back to his/her home country and apply for a fiancee visa, which (used to) take 60 days as opposed to 6 months separation from your spouse (in my own case).

Bottom line: your daughter-in-law did not have to go home if she had married your son here. That was their problem if they were not ready. The senator and his wife clearly were ready. And they abided by the law in applying for AOS after the marriage. You don't like it, you can "stuff" your sense of "honor" somewhere.

Yes, what a bad example Senator Thompson and his wife set by not only breaking laws but wanting to be above the law. Being an elected officials, it is doubly troubling.
To: King of Florida
There is something very wrong with the picture you are attempting to paint, but don't let me stop you from painting that picture. I'm certain there were laws broken, otherwise this event would not be receiving this type of uproar. Is the OBL now wanting to use any excuse to justify someone or others breaking the law? A judge and law enforcement are not normally involved if the law was upheld. But as I said please continue to paint the picture for someone who has seen the system up close and personal and whose son has been through the process, maybe my daughter-in-law isn't legal....LOL /s

"I have no respect for people who HIDE from the law!"
Oh put a sock in it. People are forced to hide from screwed up laws because of legalistic people like you.
You are the exact kind of conservative that would most likely have a problem with Jews hiding from the "law" before and during WWII.
Your philosophy is the very same thing conservatives hate: the worship of an all powerful government.
If ICE and FBI would spend more time tracking real criminals we would all be better off, instead of them wasting our tax money harassing people who just want to live in this country.
And don't tell me that the "Columbus didn't have to get a visa" argument is not valid. Your ancestors came to this land and raped it and took it away from the people who were here before, and you have a problem with someone who just wants to live here and doesn't want to wait for 3 years before the government gets back to them with a letter stating that they lost their application or that they can't come legally because of some lame reason.

"She deliberately flaunted our laws by going into hiding."
She was looking for competent legal advice.
You need to read some of the K1 visa newsgroups, where fiancess and spouses are tossed out on their ear by ICE with virtually no legal oversight, often due to naivete and ignorance of our complex immigration laws.
