INS

[Guest guest]

The INS is the Immigration and Naturalization Service. We have a lawyer working

on our behalf therefore we are not able to contact the Rutherford Institute. We

have a 50% chance of not getting a Green Card even though we fully contribute

financially and socially to our community. The only strike against us is the

Vaccination Exemption. The INS does allow for a waiver, but that does not mean

the pen-pusher has to grant it. I find many doctors do not understand where we

are coming from, let alone a pen-pusher. Unfortunately, this decision will

depend on how the person is feeling on the day (God help us if s/he has had a

fight with the spouse) and what their religious affiliation is. Some religious

groups will already believe that we are going to hell because we aren't part of

their organization, so why should they give us an exemption. I am so disgusted

that such an organisation can base a decision such as this on personal feelings.

Objectivity does not even come into this. The INS doctor was told that if we

think we can read something off the internet and decide not to vaccinate our

kids we have something else coming. Do you see what we are dealing with. Our

lawyer has been told " Good Luck " by the INS. What hope have we got? They are

accepting thousands of dollars from us in fees, and will not make a decision on

the vaccination waiver until they have collected all their money. It is almost

like throwing money to the wind. We may as well gamble on a Green Card in

Vegas!! Local organizations will not help as they can only direct us to the

Lawyers already mentioned. The 1996 laws are only just beginning to get tested,

unfortunately we are the guinea pigs.
