2 Tim 3 : 1-4

That was one of the most ignorant columns that I have ever read. I feel stupider now that I have actually taken such bunk into my mind. It's as if no American Men abuse American Women...hello??? Battered women are all over America, I know because I worked for the Dept of Human Services for 4 years.

For the record, not one of my clients was here on a Fiance Visa. True, the problem of abuse exists, but don't try to make it like its an immigration issue. Please! I live in an apartment and I have heard my upstairs neighbor, who is a very American man argue with and wrestle with is very American girlfriend. Like someone said it just feeds the frenzy of supposed immigration issues in this country. I have to force myself to turn away from this ####### and try not to react. I try to focus on my situation & get my fiance here...I have said enough.

Question Guys & Gals...

I sent my Affidavit of Support in Sept to my fiance. His interview is likely going to be in December. Do you think that will be an issue? Do you think I should wait and send a more recent AOS in like late November?

CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING THE INTERVIEW DATE! I will not attend David's interview because the flights are so expensive right now and I am thinking *(and hoping) he will have December date also. The flight pricess may even go up from there. Also we are saving to finish paying for our reception!

Much success at the interview.

Congratulations good.gif Good luck in Manila

I got my approval too just yesterday!

Bosco & Mybackpages:

The two of you are very patient, helpful, intelligent people. I was TOTALLY unable to comprehend the post due tot he obvious language barrier, grew very impatient and clicked off without replying. Your replies taught me that I need to try to be more understanding and patient next time I face a situation like that.

You really set a good example for humandkind today. I was really impressed.

That's right Lads and Lasses I GOT THE EMAIL! I arrived home late today and sat down at my computer about 9:40 and and logged onto my email. I got two emails at 9:31 pm saying we were approved!!!!

My fiance rises for the day at midnite my time which is 5am his time &

I can't WAIT to call him and tell him the excellent newwwwws!

I had to share with you all because I was starting to worry. I am OK now.

I also suggest love letters, any postal mail sent or received *(including the envelope)*, any wedding arrangements/announcements or events that you may have planned when you arrive in USA such as a receipt for a hall you may have booked. A few of my friends are going to post greeting cards to my fiance congratulating him on his approval. Which we just got today!

The letter is very funny on the surface, but what's really going on is not. If you do things illegally it seems you get over so much more. All the benefits go to the liars, thieves & cheaters. I really hate it! Folks like us who try to go about things the right way suffer through endless waiting, paperwork and demands. Its unfair. I know this government will never be able to support its citizens in a just manner, NEVER.

Have a safe trip & we are all wishing you both much happiness in life together
