usually cost of living is much cheaper in the foreign country, wait times for the visa and all is so long, have you ever considered just throwing in the towel, moving to the SO's country and building life there?

if you have done that, or are considering it, i'd like to hear your thoughts on it.

if you gave your info (receipt #s, full name, etc) to anyone on VJ under the guise that they would "help" you through the immigration journey with his inside contacts (like his sister at USCIS) ... please contact OLUInquiries@dhs.gov, and go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact to report anything suspicious. Contact your congressman and senator's offices as well.

No. This is the land of the free. The middle east is not. I lived there for 10 months to wait out the visa, it wasnt fun...I dont think I could never make the amount of money I make in any country beside the US. Cost of living is high here, but so are the number of opprotunities people have to make a good life.

I would of course exhaust all avenues of the visa process first. If all else fails I would absolutely move to the Philippines to be with my soon to be wife. It doesn't matter where we are in the world as long as we are together. It's very possible to make this happen since the money that I can save here in the U.S. would go an extremely long way there.

Have I considered moving to Pakistan? Not really.

does your significant other in UK know you even have an SO in Pakistan???

No. I said I was crazy,not stupid.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

If you both really want to live in the US, I would exhaust all avenues before I moved.

I can only speak for myself, not every married couple in the world. But trust me, enjoy every waking second of your dying days as a single man. Savor them, cherish them, love them. For soon they will be gone forever.
