    Olomi_811 got a reaction from Stuart and Thea in Irritated with American attitudes when ending a marriage   
    A petitioner should treat this process as though there was not a "return to sender" option. It's not fair to look at your role in this journey from a position of leverage and power. People mention the heart of the USC; it's bad enough that USCIS paperwork refer to people as ALIENS (hubby really took offense to that), but to have the frame of mind that only the USC has a heart implies that you believe your worth is more.
    When the relationship is USC & USC the issue of returning them is null. Can you truly say the hurt is greater when the person is from another country or is your mentality that you believe you've paid for this person so they owe you?

    Nothing irks me more than seeing "CAN I SEND THEM BACK?" or some variation of this. I admit with all the fees you pay the immigration process can feel like modern day slave trade. Know what you want, know who you are, and know who you are marrying before you dive into visa waters. Yes, some of our significant others come from economically struggling countries and others whose countries fair far better than the US. Your spouse is not an expensive shirt that you tuck the tag in, wear for a night, and return the next day. My husband is fine where he is and it touches me to hear him pray for the betterment of his country and the people. Our spouses are perfectly capable of sustaining themselves in their home country. If you examine the circumstances the quality of life may be somewhat advanced in the US, but the quantity you pay is the same. Your spouse's life is changed as well as their family's. Some of them endure ridicule and negativity, because they married you and not a fellow countryman.

    People don't "just become" manipulative or scheming for immigration processes. They give you cues along the way and either you are clueless or you chose to ignore what they are saying. It's a case of "what did they say/do" vs. "what did you hear or see/ what did you want to hear/see".

    Whether you are moving from one country to another or one state to another to be with someone whom you're in a relationship, there is going to be an adjustment period. You do what you can to be supportive before and after you find work. It is contradictory to say you don't want to raise kids again and get in a relationship with someone who has an 8 yr old. God forbide something happens to her mother. Guess where the 8 yr old is going to live? You also talk about these vacations you both want to take and that most of his money is going to a house he can't get out of easily and child support. Guess who is paying for the vacations? For whatever reason, you choose to overlook these things. You can either make the best of it for you or figure out the best for your marriage.
