Yardies a home and a farrin (Part 20)

[Forever Young 1]

so she sat down and goes into her speel about her job to protect the us citizen (here we go)

she explained 2 kinds of fraud... one where the person knowingly usually for money enters into a marriage to assist the foreigner and another, not so recognizable when the us citizen is tricked.. she said this is the worst cuz blah blah blah.. we have ALL heard this before..

i sat quietly as if she was a friend telling me about her job, smiling, even commenting WOW sometimes.. she tells me that either way the punishment is severe and is only on the us citizen which she wishes there were more penalties on the foreigner. she explained penalites saying something about losing benefits and your children losing benefits (????) she said after it passes her desk, there is no going back that a person who has ANY thoughts that there marriage may not be real has a chance to turn back w/ her without any fear of retaliation from the foreign spouse..

i thanked her for sharing that information and explained that i have seen that fraud first hand which is why it took me so long to accept roger into my life, that i did not want to show my children another messed up relationship and as their example i wanted to show them a marriage they would want to pattern their own after..

so she tells me that many times that is the case, but she has seen it over and over again. and she believes that HE is out to have his family come after he has been married to me for 2 years..

my mouth dropped, all this time she was speaking generally altho i knew what was implied, but now she has called my husband out.. i said, "ROGER??????"

yes.. i believe if they are not already here, they are coming and that is the plan, the childrens mother may already be here married to someone else and when they finish their 2 years married to you and her petitioner, then they will marry each other.. if they are not already married..

i laughed and told her that the only phone we have is mine and i answer it, they are calling from Jamaica.. 876 area code.. their relationship is a rocky one and has been since i met him 2 years ago, but they get along for their children

she said, does he speak another language while on the phone..

i told her not normally, but yes he does speak patois and i am very knowledgeable about the language, enough to understand the jist of a conversation,

i told her i know i sound like all the other women that come thru her office and are mistaken about their husbands intentions but i have not gone into this blindly..

she said it is her job to watch body language, thats why the seats are so far away.. she said roger was very nervous..

i said, most ppl are in this situation..

she said he was shaking as he gave her documents, even demonstated LOL (roger still says he wasn't and i dont' recall that) he was unusually anxious

she said she is only saying all this cuz its her job and i have children and sometimes the children are overshawdowed ..

i told her again, that i thank her for her words.. she said she will let him sit out there and sweat a lil more and started to ask me ssa questions.. i gave her better answers that i give the ppl i deal w/ everyday LOL

she gave some advice about the kids getting along w/ roger and i talked w/ her about my kids and their bipolar dad LOL.. and she said she guess she have let him sweat enough..

she said she would scare him and say, she asking are u cooking dinner tonight.. i told her.. oh he cooks everyday so thats not a good one.. she said oh he does..

so she brought him in and said... so ur wife says ur a good cook.. he said, EXCELLENT lol.. i said tell her bout thanksgiving baby..

so he told her that he made curry chicken and rice and peas, and it was all gone before all the rest of the food..

she said curry chicken was her favorite dont' get her started.. she said she loves ELAINES..this jamaican food restaurant..

it was such a coincedence cuz we were going there right after the interview!!! and told her and that we could bring her a plate.. she laughed and hit our paperwork and said APPROVED LOL..

we talked bout the restaurant a bit moren and then she said that she was approving our i130 and our i485 and that we had to file for LOC in 2 yrs.. we shook her hand and left

roger said that he wished she would have asked him stuff after he sat out, cuz all the stuff came flooding to him, i told him don't worry about it.. we will get them at LOC.

i am happy, but i wanted her to walk away believing in us, in our marriage.. i wanted to convince her and we didn't she tacked us as another fraud case.. if she approved us, dyam who do they deny???? LOL

roger said if she had denied us, it would have been like going to jail and you know you didnt do the crime.. their goes that eloquence?? where was it 10 min ago??? LOL

oh well, Praise the Lord anyhow!!!

WOW Quans, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!! You handled yourself perfectly! Yowser, afta hearing dat deh story mi kindda happy our was at the Kingston embassy! Like dem seh...don't mess w/Texas! Good job Chica! GREAT STORY!! Mi alwehs love story wid happy endings!

Aww Nat that is so sweet. To feel that type of love must be awesome!!! I think you and Steven look so good together and call me crazy but I just have a good feeling about the two of you!!! But make sure you don't just tell us make sure you tell him too....

GM ladies!!!!

Well I’m sure there are two ladies who feet are barely hitting the pavement today. I know they are light as a feather!!! LOL

I hope this day will fly. I have to run around like a chicken with my head cut off because I just learned a week ago that my daughter is in a wedding as a flower girl 2morrow. Good thing they bought the dress but hell what about the shoes, stockings, hair and accessories. They told her father months ago that they wanted her in it but when we never heard back from them so we thought they moved on. Turns on they didn’t. I mean darn we couldn’t at least get a months notice?

Well the Xmas songs are starting to play I see. Bahumbugh!!!

Amen to that, God is so good! Some times I find myself just saying "Thank you God, for bringing Denton into my life" I never would imagined things would turn out the way they have...it still seems unreal to me expect the visa journey slaps me back into reality...

You and your hubby are adorable! Wishing you guys nothing but God's blessings!

That is surprising that they didn't give a more advanced confirmation. But what a good opportunity for your daughter. She'll probably love those pictures of her as a flower girl as she gets older.

Dang, talk about short notice! I'm sure you will pull it all together though and be able to find her some things before the wedding and get her hair hooked up...awww I just love weddings.
