Me not being able to get legal isnt really a money issue. Basically its a wait till they get to your number type deal. I was brought to this country when I was 5 years old, my mom applied for me to get legal in '95, I got my acceptance letter with a priority date of August of '98 which means basically I was approved for residential status because my mother is a resident, but because of course there are so many people trying to get into this country, they are still working on cases with a priority dates in '91. They have been working on cases from '91 for hell, 9 years. Everytime theres a natural disaster, civil unrest, wars, famine, the government works to help some of these people out by granting them asylum and visas to come to this country and work, so everyone else gets pushed back even further. I've been waiting for almost 20 years now. Because I am over 21, the category changes since my mother is ony a resident, not a citizen. I basically have three options. One, remain unmarried and wait however long till they get to me which could be another 20 years for all I know, that is IF my mother finds it in her good graces to follow through, which she's evil enough to not do. She basically lorded the fact that she has the power to not help us get legal. yes, she is that much of a bitch, her own two only children. Two, I get married to a citizen, put in a new app for legalization and do it that way, which I'm not sure I'm willing to do. I dont want to be married, under any circumstances, especially those. The last option would be to return to Mexico, and thats just.. why, thats just not an option really. so, I guess I will just wait, and hope for BSIS to get their shit moving and get to me, and hope to Goddess my mother is still alive and isnt a total bitch like shes notorious for, or wait for my best friend to get her shit together and move to Canadia eh? I CANNOT simply CANNOT, WILL NOT go back to mexico. youd have to physically drag me, cause I aint going willingly.. LOL
So, I think this is how its gonna go down, Ima stop being so dang wasteful, save my money, even if it means I have to cut back on my weed allowance. I will look for another job starting now since I want a good paying, close to where I live, preferrably non-menial job. I have no problem getting down to work, but I am not some uneducated illiterate non-english speaking mexican. I dont wanna be a dishwasher in a chinese buffet in little mexico!!! I have a high school diploma, I obviously have the english language mastered, I am very smart, and I just dont think I can be all I can be in the back of a restaurant, unless I was doing the cooking ( which I would LOVE) yeah, so im gonna stay for as long as possible, if I havent found a job before she passes or goes into a home, I will have plenty of more time to concentrate on finding a job and not lose my house Goddess willing. If I find a job before then, and cant be put off till she passes or whatever, I will have to leave. I dont think it should be a problem to find a job since I have 3 excellent refrences, well, 4 with this one, but you never know. Theres alot of elderly people who cant afford to go through agencies and since I have 5 years experience, if there are jobs available, im sure damn near anyone would hire me, but the problem is there arent many out there. I have prefferences obviously. Id like to work In the city, preferably an In and out type arrangement, but have no problem being a live in as long as I have my own room. I have no children, no boyfriend/ husband to tie me down or hold me back so i can stay away for weeks at a time without a problem, I would just like not to. i really really wanna go back into an office setting.. that was loads of fun. I have never been drug tested since I dont look like I smoke, and I guess most people look for the stereotypical druggie traits which I dont have or hide very well. thats not really a concern. yeah, I smoke like its going outta style, but im still responsible. I just want what I want and to be paid accordingly. I've been incredibly lucky in finding people to work for who appreciate that I go the extra mile to make things easier on them, and do a good job. I've also been lucky enought make some serious money, even though I havent been smart enough to save any of it. First it was my mother demanding money, then my drug habits, then drinking habits, then my spending habits, now bills, bills, bills. I dunno, im sure thing will turn out for the best. they always seem to. Thank yall for the good wishes and support, and I guess we will just have to see what happens. Now its time for Hilder's wake N bake session and I needs my moosic player.. later- Hilder

Best wishes, in becoming a citizen! You seem to fit in as an "American girl".
I guess that's because, I read every one of your posts with the same accent.

Thanks! The thing is, I dont even care if I become a citizen, I dont even want the option of leaving American soil, I could care less, I just want to be able to work, pay my taxes and not have to worry about not being able to at least work at a fast food place if I had to. Sure I could go the route of the millions of mexicans and get a fake ID and fake SS, but if I get caught, Im fucked. I'd be deported, and that must be avoided at all costs.. I am the whitest mexican you will ever come accross. its funny, old ladys daughter asked me the other day if I knew any mexicans to come cut old lady's lawn. I said, now you know I dont know any mexicans!! My best friend is white, all my friends are white, the dick(s) is/ have always been white. Ive never dated a mexican, and I doubt I would. aside from my family, I dont know any mexicans.. its weird, its not like I go outta my way or avoid em like the plague or something, I just dont. why cant the government see that I want to do good things and be succesful and gimme what I want?!? its so unfair. I want to go to college, I want to be succesful, maybe one day own my own business.. I cant do any of that now. its so frustrating!!!!!!!!!

I think you do want to become legal and that means becoming a citizen. Canada would be cool for a smoker but do you really want to live in in such a cold place? I would marry you so you could become a citizen. You'd be a good match since I don't want a girlfriend/wife anyway. It's a good thing you're not considering that a serious option, it's a pain in the ass. You may not be able to go to college and have you're own business right now but I hope you can soon. If you get deported, I'll come over and bring you back. Good Luck

Aww.. thats incredibly generous of you and hilarious. Of course I want to be a citizen. I love this country. I would also of course love to travel, but you see, its not a must. If I get deported.. I have no clue what I'd do. I just cant see myself anywhere but here. Ya'll know the most fucked up part? My mom was in the US when she was pregnant with me, and went back to mexico to deliver me cause there was a rumor that if you were illegal and went to give birth, you would go to jail and be deported. Innt that bout the dumbest shit?!? All this could have been avoided.. I almost made it... haha it was weird, cause my sister was born in a town like 20 min from the border too.. I guess it just wasnt meant to be.. LOL
hahahaha it was funny, I had a dream that same sex marriages were legalized and recognized, and my best friend and I got married to each other and she got me legal.. THAT would be BEYOND awesome.. that would be perfection. I told her about it, and she's like Hell yeah!!!!! come on baby, lets get hitched.. ROFLMAO
