I'm really going to try to contribute to this community, I have found a lot of great information here. I'm a writer and a scientist; paperwork and follow-up is what I live for daily. This place is a gold mine!
Our plan as of now is to do what was suggested -- I'm going to move our stuff down first and get us set up. From there, she's going to come on in for a visit, then subsequent visits. I travel a lot for work all over the freaking globe, so when I have to do an extended China trip (a month or two weeks) or something, she'll go hang out at home. We're going to figure this out; but believe me, this was a shock. A real serious "holy #######, what are we going to do" kind of shock. I plan, I figure, I do these things. This one was in a list of things we needed to get to, and the task before us is way larger than either of us initially had gotten perspective on seeing. I was working 75+ hour weeks and managing two product lines, this got moved into the "we'll get to it" category, which obviously was a miscalculation.
Flamers, I know your individual cases are important. Ours is too, especially to my wife and I. I never said that your cases were unimportant, that was put in my mouth. Thanks for all of the help here though, it is invaluable.
Back on page 4 Jim apologized and *still* some people are berating and slightly mocking his naiveté. Whether you agree with him or not, he came here to get some help/answers/suggestions and as a 1st time poster, if I were him, I'd be rather put off from posting a question at Visa Journey in the future.
I remember when almost any question posed on the board (and there were some CRAZY ones) was met with kindness and assistance from more experienced board members.
I guess my point is, the guy overreacted (he and his wife are probably panicked)- he apologized, can't everyone just get over it and be just a little bit more kind?
