Not Fair?
I wonder if anyone reads this blog anymore, since I went for months without posting.
Anyway, this gather of evidence for the fiance visa is getting difficult. I was up really late last night very upset and then I couldn't sleep. The whole process is nerve-racking, and its just the beginning! Having our relationship picked apart by government officers, who are trained to believe that 30% of the applications that come across their desks are foney. Having to disclose private and personal information is creepy. We don't have pictures of us kissing because public-displays-of-affection are definitely not cool in this culture, and we're private people.
I don't understand how ex-cons can mail order a Russian bride, and I have to go through this horrendous process with someone I've been LIVING WITH for nearly 2 years! There's even a provision in the fiance visa law that ALLOWS arranged marriages between two people who have never met, based on cultural restrictions! At what point does this just equal NOT FAIR?

I'm still reading, though not daily. I expect the rest of the world to get caught up soon. Love, Mom

I stopped checking it, but I added it to my RSS reader so that I wouldn't miss anything if you added new content.
