[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, dont do it, OP. These requests will never end. I am Indian, though born here, and get these kind of requests from time to time. My father died in May, and for the first time I met a second cousin on his side. She grew up in India and has a top job at… Google in the Bay Area! Anyway, we’re meeting for the first time, and she mentions that there was resentment in her family that my dad did not bring her father over to the US decades ago. Mind you, my father had 3 siblings, none of whom ever won the visa lottery. And he had 12 cousin “brothers and sisters.” Her dad was a cousin brother… i just couldnt believe she brought it up to me after my dad died. 
Meanwhile, I have helped nonrelatives who truly needed a hand up to settle here as they came to this country, but they were admitted to university here and earned their visas. They were also extremely grateful.[/quote]

+1 I think a lot of these responses are framed around being an American with 1 or 2 siblings that produced 3 or 4 cousins. Not the dozens and dozens of cousins that some foreign families have.[/quote]
