I'm so glad you all liked the article!!!!! And thank you all for the kind words, I was really nervous about all of this.

I CAN NOT take all the credit myself...there are many HERE who contributed to the article, directly and indirectly.

Mostly, I'd like to thank the Reporter whose writing was right 'on point'...she DID NOT let us down. :thumbs:

Keep up the fight!!!!!! All it takes is reaching out and making your voice heard!!!!! Don't ever think-->"oh, I'm just one

person, no one is going to listen to me, I can't make them change." The key is persistence and dedication to doing the RIGHT thing. I'm no more special than any of you here.

Praying also helps; I did a lot of that!!! :yes:

I'll contribute in any way I can-->although I'll be relegated to an internet cafe computer until I return to the U.S., if I return.

THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE UNWAVERING SUPPORT!!!!!

I gotta go to work now and finish some things. :)

I was really saddened to see how many readers left such negative, hurtful comments about the article.

I fully expected the backlash......that's what haters do, hate. So let them do their job.

I've heard it all before; I'm not moved.

Whatever bad things that might 'happen' to us as a result of these relationships we have with foreigners could very well happen right here in the good 'ole USA, by an American Citizen. It's a chance we all take, no matter who we marry.

I agree 100%.

If we were all going to be afraid of what people *might* say or do then how would things ever change?

It is the people who step and do somehting, anything to demand change.

It's already bad enough I'm sure most of us had to go through some measure of explaining to the rest of our families why we had to be with someone not of this country.

I remember when I made my first trip to London in the first place, and my father of all people threw the biggest fit about how if I got put in British jail he wasn't going to bail me out or some mess.

Yeah, there are people out to scam the country and others, that will never change, but the American marriage system is so broken and screwed up in general now anyway that two Americans can get married, the woman can high-tail it off immediately, and get all the guy's assets in alimony!

What bullshit. All of it.

the other thing that never seems to cross some people's minds is that perhaps some of us are not burning up to get to the States... I personally have never had a real desire to even visit, let alone move there; of course I'm happy to, and am making plans and trying to look forward to things there, but my heart is in Europe... I always dreamed of living in Europe, and when I finally moved here and loved it so much I was so happy

the only reason my SO didn't come to join me is because he's got a son, and while he's almost old enough to be without his dad for extended periods, my SO didn't want to leave him before he finished high school, and I applaud that, so I'm the one making the move

some of these idiots who are making all manner of assumptions about these hordes of foreigners desperate for green cards should try to get their tiny minds around the fact that everyone is DIFFERENT, and so are all our situations

thejoz, good comment about divorces and assets... scarily true, and too often overlooked :s

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

And what I think a lot of people forget is not every USC who is petitioning for a fiance(e)/spouse is born and bred here.

How many of us on the boards are naturalized US citizens? How many of us spent a significant amount of time outside the US? How many of us grew up outside the US?

I just wish that all the nasaying ####### who post their stupid remarks would do some research before proving their ignorance to the world.
