It's called freedom of speech and my own personal opinion was not uncalled for whatsoever....
and when was I discriminating against people with disabilities? seems you are quick to defend and eager to pick a fight and take it upon yourself as if it was a personally attack directed at you personally...
to be honest if I was in the same boat I would at least learn the language before even thinking about going over but hey that's just me, am just quite lucky am not in that boat...
am not discriminating anyone...the people with the language barrier have a CHANCE to learn the language...unfortunately the people with the disabilities you mentioned (which I have no idea how you managed to compare them both, have been born with this condition/or later in life got in which there can't reverse)

Not sure where to put this as I really couldn't find a suitable forum to place it into...
am not wanting to start any wars or anybody to become angry at my post, its just my general observation and purely my own personal opinion (dons flame-proof vest)
I have read quite a few times about people getting together and having a massive Language Barrier e.g either one or both not knowing each other's Language or very poorly.
but I have always thought that one of the main points of a relationship being successful was communication....yeah there may have fallen in love but how can you truly love/get to know a person if you can't communicate with said person or communicate on a very basic level?
now this is me going O/T (slightly) from want I was saying before but wouldn't it make sense to a degree they introduced a requirement to speak, read and write English? (more so based on becoming a public liability and the ability to get a job)
I mean isn't it only out of respect to learn the country you are going to, to have the ability to speak they native tongue?
I mean if I was going to France to live I would take it upon myself to learn their language to the point where I can speak, read and write to an appropriate and understandable degree.
am sorry if this post angers anyone (but I know people will disagree, but hey that's life everyone has a opinion otherwise life would be boring right? )
Like I said to round things off would like to hear your views on the subject but not to a point where people are just going to argue
(to the mods if this thread goes off the rails please delete and this is something I don't want)

Lost Cause TBone.....
I know I would have got shot of her ages ago...every chance to become a massive liability in the future

That my kind Sir is VERY possible....I have known my Fiancee coming up to three years now...(two year mark we met).
now inbetween first contact and meeting her..spending hours upon hours talking camming chatting friends...best friends..falling in love..
it is VERY possible to know that you love someone before you have met them...and in my case I KNEW I loved Lori before i even met her...the ammount of hours we spent talking getting to know each other very deeply personaility wise...
plus the fact she looked gorgeous is always a plus
what am trying to say here...if i knew i loved Lori before i even met her..meeting her in person only proved that fact and made that love much much stronger
meeting online first rather then in person has some pluses...one being you are more likely to connect on a personal level deeply because at the moment thats pretty much all you have...chats...camming...emails...texts
but aside all that....going back to the OP yes I would strongly suggest that you met the person in well person first you need it to File for the K-1 process
and well it will also help you confirm how much you do truly love this person

yes of course you allowed that
i was just stating my opinion that I don't agree with your opinion
