what?! your flying all the way to the other side of the world to marry her, and she's not even coming home with you? she's not in prison over there is she?

and milk is bad for you. unless it's your mother's milk. and if you're still drinking that, then cow's milk is the least of your problems.

I would love nothing more than to bring her home with me, but the US government won't allow it. I will have to file new paperwork which will take 8 months to a year. This after trying to bring her to America for 3 years as my fiance.

'If' by David Gates (Bread)

novice · 01-24-2004, 02:41 PM

Also 'Baby i'm a want you' by the same or just about any Air Supply song

Just an opinion, but I think it wiuld be better if the kid was born here and not have to travel at that young an age. Absolutely no logical reason for that opinion, just a gut feeling.

Jim Croce - Time in a Bottle
Billy Joel - You're My Home This is my all time favorite love song, hands down...if you're not familiar with it, become so. Example of lyric:

"When you look into my eyes, and see the weary gypsy in my soul
It always comes as a surprise, when I feel my withered roots begin to grow.
I've never had a place that I could call my very own.
But whenever we're together, you're my home."

Congrats, Radar. I may think that a lot of your political views are fucked up, but as one human being to another, I'm thrilled that you are finding happiness and love with a beautiful person. Seriously.

A good reception song is Stevie Wonder - I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever). I am not a Stevie Wonder fan but this song is good.
This is also a good song Donna Lewis - Falling ,in fact HP and I played it at our reception.

Those are all I can think of right off the top of my head.

maybe i'm naive, but if she came here for the wedding, wouldn't she be a citizen, then? Or is this a myth? Or is it not your intent for her to be a citizen? sorry to keep trying to hijack your thread, but i'm curious.

Someone I know from an online list (he's a cop, but obviously not a really good one) developed a relationship with a Filipino woman he described to one and all as the love of his life, etc, etc, ... he went through all the necessary legal channels to get his internet-order bride into the US for the ceremony, and none of them worked out. Couldn't get the appropriate visas or clearances or whatever.

So he went for the next best thing ... got her into Canada, which has fewer restrictions on such things, and he went up there and married her.

They spent as much time as possible together, but he only had a limited amount of time off, so back to New Jersey for him, leaving her in the great white north (IIRC, she was in Toronto.) while continuing the attempt to finagle things via the state department to get his now-wife into the US.

She got tired of waiting.

No one knows where she is.

He's still legally married to her.

(remember, the Phillipines has a close relationship with the US ... their like the Puerto Rico of the Pacific, aren't they?)

Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman? - Bryan Adams from the don Juan deMarco soundtrack.

"When you look into her eyes and see your unborn children..."

A "can't miss."

Good luck, btw. My wife is originally Iranian (left at 9 ys old, and lived in Spain and Canada till we got married) and it took 8 years but she is now a citizen- something she has wanted as far back as she can remember.

Your fiance is very attractive. I hope she comes to America and votes the exact opposite of you so as to cancel out your vote.

Although the Man In Black is probably not the first one you think of when love songs are mentioned he has a couple of excellent songs I'd recommend. 'Memories are made of this', and 'As Long as the grass shall grow' (be careful on that one, there are two versions with one being about indian atrocitities)

I Promise You is also an excellent song by Johnny, but it's semi-rare and hard to find a clean copy on certain file trading services.

'Your the nearest thing to heaven' is also good but it has the silly backing vocals that Columbia Records liked to add to Johnny's music. :$ I wished he would have resang that song on his later CD's.

Best wishes

I tried to bring her to America for a weddding for 3 years while we watched all of her friends get approved and come over in 6 months. Our application was held up for some reason but they won't tell us why. And even if she got married here, she would not be a citizen. She would be able to apply for permanent residency, but to be a citizen takes a year or two of classes, to pass a test, and to take an oath renouncing all ties with other nations and promising to defend this nation.

Why wouldn't you go to Vietnam and do the same thing? If you really love her ...

Geez, how much time have you spent together?
