This enterprise of building a relationship - working for a better future... it all takes so much patience. Both with ourselves, our partners - and yes with the governments who wish some measure of control over our lives.

I too wish you success! You each deserve a future of happiness. I hope that you each discover how precious the other is...discover this all over each morning for the rest of your lives.

ANt info on how to get him here???? HELP

Holly

Commiserations on your sad loss :(

As for your step-son.. was he ever included as part of the K1 application (as possible follow-to-join K2)?

If not.. you will probably get better info on the thread 'bringing realtives to the US'.. you might find consulting an immigration attorney of benefit - at least to explore options and time frames.

Here here!!

(Hear Hear??)

Well anyway, I agree! :lol:

Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth.

Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself.

Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here.

Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go.

Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you.
