Ryand-Smith is a huge rear end in a top hat; my entire family here in the US were almost deported due to the rank incompetence of INS and we're not going to go around chest thumping about how we beat the system by having then Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) call up the INS who suddenly "found" our documents all of a sudden. It's not like immigration is like going to ben and jerrys and standing in line for a scoop of whatever you want. It's 26+ lines, some of them which give you ice cream quicker than others because you have more money, some that make you go home after you get your first scoop, and others that grant you ice cream if you're lucky.

Being lucky in this case is not having your paperwork messed up/have the wrong agent go through your paperwork and get deported for that. Congressional hearings on immigration usually has these stories, about families that were separated due to a mistake in the paper work, or having an immigration lawyer lie to them. Then they are bared for 10-20 or for life because of that mistake.

So yes, you are lucky. Lucky that you haven't been royally hosed over by a system that would deport you with ease. Hell, we deported U.S. citizens, we can't really say that the system works.
