Green Card marriage - questions that immigration officials will ask

As training NCO for my marine platoon in Subic Bay Naval Base, I was required to give a few classes on English grammar, especially how to use it correctly in writing reports. The following are some of the frequent errors made by most of my fellow marines, including several in the higher emlisted ranks: Were is it at? I should have went. In back of. I never seen him. He drug it along the floor. At that time I had never attended a regular high school but had obtained a high school equivalency diploma. My English is by no means flawless. But the English spoken by today's young arrivals from Ireland is far better than that of those who came here from accross the Rio Grante.

abhainn, your idiocy knows no bounds, you must be from the Ireland of 60 years ago. Irish men and women today are by no means uneducated, many have third level education which has been free for years and/or advanced qualification. Stop demeaning the men and women of 21st century Ireland with your lies.

Seanmor, your idiocy that "all [Irish immigrants] speak perfect English" gave me a bitter laugh. It is like the other myths that the Irish are all great talkers, great singers, excellent raconteurs, witty, and drunks, although the fact that many of us drink too much enables us to imagine we possess these glittering qualities. The truth is that the speech of many Irish people is diseased with illiteracies, while thoughts and sentences are assembled, modular fashion, from clichés and endlessly repeated catchphrases that obviate the need for real thought. Many of my countrymen and women are uneducated bores; fortunately for them, many American employers don't notice because they are the same.

clevelander-Indeed,possibly the question of the year,decade,millenium!

Very few undocumented Irish natives illegally entered this country. The vast majority of then came here on a visitor's visa and remained here when it expired. All speak perfect English and almost none is a burded to U.S.taxpayers. These positive aspects should facitate their attempts to obtain green cards. These Irish immigrants are willing and able to make valuable contributions to the community, state and nation. They should be given preference over non-English speaking foreigners who entered illegally and are often dependent on government handouts.

This is to replace the E3 visas??

@Murph46 Who would have her?

Would have flunked (born in Philadelphia) wife would have flunked (born in Minneapolis) - don't do take out, ie, no menus either; could do New Year's Eve; don't rent, i.e., no check, either; closest subway may be a few 1000 mikes away
