Except she really can't. I thought this board was for posting immigration questions and receiving some kind of answers not a place for peoples life stories to be ridiculed and met with gelid replies.
Her sister, who is a citizen, applied for her but has since left the country.
"she can go home. italy is nice".... Thank you for that.

Wanted to share my good news and hopefully offer some encouragement to others.
We submitted our Packet 3 by EMS (Thai Express Mail) on Thursday August 16, 2012. Last night at about 12:30 am (2:30pm BKK time) I got an e-mail from the Embassy with an interview date of August 27, 2012 Didn't sleep much after that. Booked my flight for this Thursday and bought a return ticket for the fiancee soon to be wife. After all the waiting we suddenly got put in the fast lane!

Oh man, I have had one heck of a weekend!! For the last few weeks, on Fridays especially, I've started getting REALLY down. This weekend was probably the worst of it. I actually had a full blown panic attack earlier today.
So I came home and I was talking to my fiance, Tom, about it, while he was on break at work. And I hung up and asked him to call my mom and tell her what happened so that I didn't have to. So 10 minutes later, I hear my phone ring, figuring it was my mom, but it was actually Tom, and he just said "WE GOT IT" and I was silent. And then I was like "That's not funny." and he goes... "No, I'm not *!@ting you. I just got off the phone with your mother, and I checked my email... and we got it"
And I immediately went to the website and checked our case number, and I was like, shaking and crying and freaking out.
Holy #######. I can't even believe it.
I swear it was just USCIS playing tricks on me, wanting to see how far they could push me until I absolutely broke. LOL.
Seriously... we were "officially" approved as of Friday, and I went through SOOOO much drama between Friday and today, mostly because of my insanely melodramatic moods. That's just karma kicking me in the butt for something I must've done wrong at some point

I am a British citizen and lived here for the last 7 years with my husband (US citizen) and we have a daughter. My parents want to move here to be closer to us and their grand-daughter, but are concerned about health insurance here in the US. They are in their late 60s and have a couple of pre-existing conditions (high blood pressure, borderline diabetes). They are from the UK so are used to having medical care at no cost whenever it is required, and the thought of healthcare here in America(and all the horror stories of people losing their homes because of having a major medical bill) scares them.
Does anyone have any advice on the best thing for health insurance in their situation so that it would be more affordable? Who are the best health insurance companies for their age etc.
Has anyone else brought over their aging parents and what did you do about health insurance?
Any advice would be appreciated - thanks.

You are definitely entitled to your opinion but I would suggest to look through the lenses of the illegal immigrant before judging them so harshly. Educate your self regarding what they have been facing because of their status and show some compassion. We all need a little compassion here and there.

Just for the record... If you enter the US with the intention of getting married, on any visa other than a K1, that's considered fraud. Misinterpretation will also come into place because, to get past a CBP officer, you'll most likely lie when stating the purpose of your visit.

I agree with the lawyer that your prior legal issue should not cause problem as you were found not guilty. However, I don't agree with him that you don't need a K1 visa. If one only needed a B2 visa to enter the US then get married, why would a K1 visa exist in the first place? Then everyone would just come as visitors and marry! I would stay you still need a K1 visa if you want to do things legally.
