Why does it cost so much to obtain a Green Card?

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

I don't know why it costs so much, but it's a long process and requires lots of paperwork. Everything you file...there is a fee attached.

I don't know I don't understand it all and my sons step mom and his dad are trying to find out but they are getting doors slammed when they get close to an answer. They have researched and called but they are not getting answers............they gave me a website to check out sponsorship for my daughter in law but I have not read it yet..........since I can't sponsor her there is nothing I can do.

They may be homeless but I would let them come back here, I would not let my grandbaby be with no home but the parents can leave.

She is married to a US citizen and the mother to a US citizen. I am pretty sure she will be granted a green card. Unless I don't know the facts (wouldn't be the first time).

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

If I had the money I would give it to them for her but I don't. I don't see my son's dad or his aunt helping them anymore financially. The truth was not told and she did not tell it and they know now. They think she has done me really wrong and she has..........she never liked me but now the issue is that she may have to leave and the baby will loose its USA citizenship and that is horrible. Maylasia does not work with the USA........

What gets me is I was so upset last year it made me sick and I asked and asked and begged them to get the truth on her staying here but I was lied to and so was my son.

For some reason she can't get a green card to work? They said she needed a sponsor for ten years unless she is going to be a citizen of the USA and then she needs a sponsor for three years well she said she did not want to be a US citizen...........

The baby will not lose her rights as a citizen.
