Hello everybody this is Rich
I am a 28 year old man.
I was born in Derbyshire England and I lived there until the age of 22.
I’m a simple man , not without my traits.
I grew up with my mum and two older sisters, times were not easy but we lived good, my mum made sure we always had what we need.
I was raised with manners and respect and try to hold true to those values by being a nice person.
I try to be humble in this beautiful world, I appreciate life and its wonders.
I moved to Texas America in 2014 to be with my pregnant fiancee.
She is the love of my life , we met on the internet in early 2012.
I travelled to visit her and we created so much love that we created life.
We were young and not fully educated but we instantly decided it was in our best interests that we be together as soon as possible and marry.
I worked in a fish and chip shop in the town in which I grew up in, the pay wasn’t great but it was enough to save and put In extra hours for the money to go be with my love.
We thought about where we wanted to be and in that time we got married shortly after I arrived in Texas.
We had no idea about the process of immigration after that so we tried to learn, and we did learn.
We very quickly learned that my wife did not pass the annual income needed to sponsor me, nor did we have anyone legitimate enough to co sign.
Incident number 1
Now I’m on a travel visa lasting 90 days , and that time has long gone, now understanding that if I leave the USA i have nothing to be able to come back To be with my wife and new born.
So I decide to stay , years went by with my wife providing working hard for little pay.
We never earned enough to be able to get my paperwork.
We had a ray of hope a year or so later when my mother in law got together with her partner who was willing to co sponser, we got to the final hurdle before that all fell through since she was technically working for the government so she was not allowed to sponser.
Heartbreaking me and my wife, we continued on my wife worked harder and harder we had a second child and my wife worked through it all.
We finally have gotten to this point.
November 2019 the only vehicle we have gets totalled , the insurance company dragging its feet is worried we will not receive any money.
My wife’s work is a courier job in which we use our own vehicle to do the work.
We slowly fall into debt and distaster , we are beginning to lose everything and have nothing but a feeling of hopelessness and just a desire for better for our children.
We open the mail one day , it’s my wife’s annual earnings
Wow she did it she made and you wont believe it $90 over the amount needed to sponsor me , HAPPY DAYS right?
Now we sit here in debt collecting with no way to work No way to get this money to get my papers done so I can work and provide for my family also.
6 years almost with no eligibility to work , slowly watching my wife’s life ruined , all crumbling around us with our two perfect children in the center of it , what are we supposed to do?
