I guess, like every other aspect, if it wouldn't be the government dealing with it but a private company things will be much more efficient.

I guess immigration wherever in the world is the same... I feel more or less the same way that Steve does because currently I'm more or less in the same position... It's always hard being the foreigner... :( In someway, you either do what they tell you or else... They are like the <a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Borg" title="Borg" rel="nofollow"> in Star Trek: "Resistance is futile!" I couldn’t agree more myself.

It's completely frustrating. The shocking thing is that what happened is not exactly shocking given the people in this country. Which is really why this country will not prosper as it should.
