I remember the hoops my wife had to jump through to gain legal resident status. First it cost us thousands of dollars in just form fees. Then thousands more for lawyers. Then hundreds more for physical exams. We had to take pictures together with the days date being prominently shown like proof of life crap. We had to get written testimonials from people we know to prove we were living as a married couple. A marriage certificate was not enough.

It was a grueling 2 years for her.
It must make you angry that you did everything the right way and these others simply waltz in and get handed everything. It makes me steam!
