Challenges in Immigration Process

Time and, and every time you almost,

uh,

meet the goalposts that have been set, they change the goalposts.

The rules keep changing. And I know there's a war going on,

there's stuff

happening, and that's why they're doing it.

I understand all that, but it doesn't make it any easier for the

person trying to

come. 'Cause you're trying to, uh, immigrate,

and,

you know, you have to meet certain metrics.

So if-and that keeps changing, it makes it hard to get your immigration

path solved. For us, uh, it's all been

working out very well so far, but at this point I have no path forward.

Now, whether you believe it or not, I don't care.

I know what the law is. I know what the rules are for us, and

at this point, there's no way for me to get from

temporary residency to permanent

residency without signing a contract. I've tried to explain this before.

Last November, we did a video on it with, uh, our immigration lawyer, who's an

expert on the matter. Uh, there is zero path forward right now.

You can come here under the Seven Oh Two visa for traditional family

values, and that allows you three years to stay

here.

To move from that to permanent residency, currently,

as of last November twenty twenty-five, you need to sign a contract with

military. What does that contract mean? I don't know.

I've been asking. I can't find clarification.

We are going to try sending a letter to the Ministry of Defense to see if we can

get clarification on what is that contract,

because I have not been able to get

information on it. Yes, I've asked people. I've talked to OCA Agency.

They can't tell me. I've, I've asked government officials,

the ones that I know at

least. They can't tell me. So we're gonna try to seek clarification

on that

because if you're gonna move here, you're gonna sell everything you own,

you're

gonna start a new life over here,

you need to have a clear path forward.

Right? You can't come here and sell everything,

start a new life with no path

forward. The temporary residency that we have right now needs to

run its course,

and then you can apply for a new one.

Uh, we have a year and a half, like I said.

We could then reapply and then, uh...

And that's, that's-- apparently, that's pretty simple, so we can reapply,

and we

would be, uh, most likely accepted and get another traditional family value

visa. Uh, the reapplication would also take some

money.

Then we would have another three years to stay here.

So that is an option, but it doesn't feel good.

What if they decided to deny us? Now, that's if, if, if.

Most likely, everything would work out just fine.

But for people coming-- We're already here.

We're already invested.

We're already, you know, got our heart set on it.

But for people coming, when you tell them, "Yeah, you can come, but there's no,

there's no path forward to permanent residency without a contract."

I, I didn't come here to sign a contract.

Uh, I understand why the contract is

wanted or why they want you to do that.

I understand that, but I got eight little kids here at home

and a farm to run.

I can't be gone for a year or two or three or four.

Like,

you know, then I might as well just take my risks

in, in Canada, which I also think

is a risky place to live. But, uh, I, I don't know if you guys understand me or

not. I try to make myself understood, but there's always a whole bunch of clowns

in

the comments that just don't get it, or they wanna argue it. And don't argue.

There's no point in arguing. That's the law. So look it up.

Under Presidential Decree Eight Twenty-One,

you are currently required to sign

a contract with the military in order to move from temporary residency to permanent

residency.

And also, if you have permanent residency, to move from permanent residency to

citizenship, you're also required to sign a contract

with the military.

So I'm hoping that'll change.

I can't ask somebody to change it just for me.

I don't deserve special treatment, but that's the way it is right now.

That's the way the law is written. And so we got all this invested,

and it's just not a comfortable feeling.

Hopefully, something will change. I hope. I'm at the corner.

I gotta get this done and, uh-
