One of the commenters in the Raw Story comments is inching near breaking the conditioning:
I gotta say, I'm getting really sick of these 2. No one deserves to be treated badly so don't get me wrong I hope nothing bad happens to Nina in this place and I hope she as able to work this out to a good outcome. BUT I have noticed over time many inconsistencies in what these 2 say about trans lifeline funds such as they talked about getting all these extras for the phone line and later said they were in dire straits with the line and it was going to close and they needed money so someone asked can't you scale back these extras for now and they denied there was ever any extras.
Now that this story about an immigration problem has broke there are inconsistencies in that story as well. For instance there is a go fund me page where they say Nina has to get a bunch of immunizations and they need $500 for it. I went through this immigration process with a family member and these immunizations you can get free at a health department or sliding scale clinic. You do have to pay an immigration-approved doctor for an exam but it doesn't cost anywhere near $500 and you can shop around and find an affordable one.
Now the story has changed to being about a deceased spouse which Greta had divorced. Well the divorce paper is irrelevant, all she needs to do is produce a death certificate, proof of divorce right there since the marriage is done upon death anyway.
Now I will give you that the immigration service does put people through an insane amount of bullshit even when you think you follow all their rules there's always some other rule to trip you up. I'd be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt since immigration laws are so complex and full of shit and not even the government seems to follow them, but I have seen these 2 in so many inconsistencies on the trans lifeline page over time on facebook, which later disappear or become impossible to find again, that I'm becoming suspicious of them at this point. I'm starting to wonder if the rumors about them are true.
Again, I don't wish anything bad on them but I'm really starting to be sick of their constant emergencies and inconsistencies in their stories.
Good luck to them, they'll need it. Sounds like Nina is out of status on her application for green card, which means asylum is her only hope to avoid deportation and banning from re-entering the country.
