I agree however I think they would scare the bejesus out of a lot of ppl.

Here's a list of Forums I'd like to see

From reading many of the stories here already, perhaps a little scare is a good thing.

I too think it would be a good idea, for those who really need help, for some others it may give food for thought :whistle:

It might as well be a forum called 'What to do When Things Go Bad' and then all that garbage can go together where it doesn't scare people who don't want to see it, but the people who do can know that they're not alone.

I agree... the excitement of an international romance seems to dull the common sense of some who have posted within...

8-30-05 Met David at a restaurant in Germany

3-28-06 David 'officially' proposed

4-26-06 I-129F mailed

9-25-06 Interview: APPROVED!

10-16-06 Flt to US, POE Detroit

11-5-06 Married

7-2-07 Green card received

9-12-08 Filed for divorce

12-5-08 Court hearing - divorce final

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

"Uh...we F*%&ed Up"...too harsh? :devil:

I think it's a great idea, Yodrak

And so he did what countless punk-rock songs had told him to do so many times before: he lived his life

10/07/2006 WEDDING DAY!

11/14/2006 AOS packet made it to 'the box' after being overnighted.

12/02/2006 Paul had biometrics

12/14/2006 AOS Forwarded to CSC AND AP Application approved.

01/17/2007 First touch of 2007 at CSC

01/20/2007 Touched AGAIN (also the 18th) come on...

February: Oops, RFE for a REGISTERED marriage certificate. Oops! Overnighted it.

02/28/2007 Paul gets email letting us know his GREENCARD is on it's way! It's done...for now!

03/09/2007 Paul's greencard arrives. And breathe...

We began with mailing the I-129 in on February 27, 2006 so the whole process took us approx. one year.

Good luck out there!

Nothing. Been a life well-lived. No regrets. Happier now than I've ever been. It's taken this long to 'figure it out'. :)

Fair enough. I just miss the feeling of innocence where anything is possible and the world is your oyster. I've gotten really jaded in the past few months. Don't know if I'll ever have it figured out...perhaps I like the ebb and flow a bit too much.

I think it would be a good idea too. I've been through a divorce this year with my ex USC. It's been very hard and lonely. Although primarily a marriage forum, divorce does happen. It would have been helpful to share experiences, thoughts and feelings.

Yodrak,

What an excellent idea.... you're always thinking, aren't you?

It would be great to have all separation/divorce issues together in the same place for people who need advice on how divorce will affect their individual situations and pending applications.

I actually suggested this idea over a year ago and it never went into effect. The whole idea actually got shot down. Perhaps Yodrak will have some more clout with the administration.

While I still think an FAQ is the 'best' way to approach it, I know now that it won't matter, except to save some typing of replies. People want to post about the topic, and they will.

As a group, I think it was interesting that the last conversation focused on the drama aspect and the personal advice---that's where VJers will take the topics for many reasons. But the immigration consequences are real and the info should be available.

Maybe VJ has ripened to a point where we are starting to see divorces from our own members, and now is the time to have such a discussion area. You were just ahead of the curve in seeing it, Satellite. :)

Now That You Are A Permanent Resident

Yes, even this last one.. stuff in there that not even your USC knows.....
