Update on my wife...

Radar · 04-27-2005, 09:30 AM

If I had been there, my wife would have been a bit more calm, but they wouldn't have let me inside. If I had been there when they said they needed more time, I'd have made them sit down and read it right now or I wouldn't leave and if they tried to make me leave, it could have gotten very ugly...for them.

I'll be going to Vietnam in 2 months for 2 weeks because I haven't been with my wife since we were married more than a year ago. One of the things the Consul guys wanted to know was why I didn't go to Vietnam for 2 years at one point. I already wrote them a letter explaining that the economy took a hit and the tech jobs just weren't there and I had trouble finding work. They have my tax returns to verify what I've said.

I definately want to hit up Philly sometime and see the sites (liberty bell, independence hall, etc) and I'd like to see Washington D.C. too, though I might get in trouble there.

You see Radar, it'd delusions like this that can make certain aspects of your situation difficult.

You don't make the gov't do anything.

And you certainly don't let them think that you believe that. All it takes is for the paperwork to come to a halt on someone's desktop and you're done.

They are public SERVANTS, and I am their master. I am thier boss. They answer to me, not the other way around.

Actually that didn't have anything to do with it. They are turning away 18 out of 20 applicants right now. Ours wasn't turned down. But they do want to look at it more closely. I had a mountain of evidence to support our relationship. I had more than anyone else, including those who passed.

Let's step back from the ideal, which I agree with you about, and look at the actual.
