"Good News!"
Posted by HistoryDetective on 01-13-06 at 06:34 PM
Many of you know that last spring the Customs and Immigration Service rejected exBF's application for a green card. ExBF is a nurse in a cardiac unit at a hospital in Baltimore, making the rejection especially confusing. ExBF appealed the decision.

Today he received a letter notifying him that his application for a green card has been accepted. Yay! It took ten years for him to get to this point. I wish him the best now.

Many thanks again for everybody who wrote letters on his behalf last spring.

Well, we're both going out. He's having dinner with a co-worker and I have a date later tonight.

That's great news, HD!

Ten years to get to this point? Unbelievable. He's going to have to frame that letter.

That is indeed very good news, HD. I wish for him the best, and as a resident of the state of Maryland, I am grateful that he wants to stay here.


It's an Arkie.

Great news, HD! North America needs more decent people working in skilled jobs and I'm glad to see the immigration B.S. has been worked out in his favour.

I lived the immigration carp vicariously through my Slovak sister-in-law who had to jump through all kinds of hoops to permanently settle here. I remember reading about all kinds of criminals who were allowed to enter Canada and live off the welfare rolls while they're giving carp to sis-in-law who speaks 6 languages, is highly-skilled and works in a law office as a translator/paralegal.

Congrats to him!

The fact that you care so much for your ex and his well-being moves me deeply.

Then again.

I have first-hand experience with how caring and loving you are...


Classic Syren at work!

Thanks, Wanda ... but believe me, I also have lots of "You can just go to hell days" where he is concerned as well. I'm just hoping that this will make him a happier person in general so the next guy has a lot less crap to deal with.

I know that can be a long painful process to go through.

Congrats to exBF!

Congratulations! on your generosity and your patience and perseverance. Only those of us who have been through a relationship with a foreigner know what this entails.

I went through the immigration process with my ex-husband and believe me, when you sign that Affidavit of Support it's a sobering moment. Good thing you didn't have to marry the dude!
