    You can teach them how to shoot and hunt with yer .270!
    That's considered child abuse in some jurisdictions!
    Zorba, I think that's more into the realm of neglect, rather than abuse...

    Exactly.  I don't think anybody has ever conflated ".270" and "abuse" before.

    Well, shooting a chipmunk over and over with a .270 is a form of animal abuse.  I mean, eventually it may raise a welt.

    It's only animal abuse if the chipmunk notices....he may just think it is a mosquito.

    I got a text from Snake early this morning saying that they all got their visas and they are headed to the States.

    Yep I went crazy preparing for the interview. I had all my ducks in a row. Even had letters from.my CPA about my income, I even got a fair market price for my real estate to show my worth. We got up to the window and the consulate officer asks Annie a couple of questions then he ask her if I was her fiance. She told him.I was. Then he looks at me and says, Sir the questions Ill be asking today will be directed at your fiance so.you can just have a seat. I was stunned. I've been here before but never been told like that. That put my worry in overdrive. But I did as I was told and sat down and started praying. I was so nervous you couldn't have driven a sewing needle up my butt with a ball **** hammer. I heard him asking her some basic questions and then he asked her how long we've known each other. She told him 7 1/2 years. Then He asked how many times we had met in.person and she said 4. He told her, "Congratulations, you're approved." Then we broke into a happy dance! I couldn't believe it went so smooth!

    Anyway, we're waiting on the visa delivery. It should be here by Friday, or maybe Monday or Tuesday. Then I'll book them on my return flight on September 18th.

    Hey Congrats Snake. Good news indeed.

    You guys did it the legal way and had to jump through hoops, but proved it can be done. My hats off to you.

    Think we can stretch the rules enough to make the $5 no pic fine apply to this thread? :D

    Ok Jerry, you've shamed me into trying. I've avoided posting much since the new forums been up and I lost photo bucket. But now the inevitable has come. I will try. .

    Just so you'll be prepared, you'll probably have another interview to go through in about two years.

    There is no "try". There is either do, or not.

    Been there- Done that. This isn't my first rodeo. I was married to.another Filipina for 13 years and she left me. I know about getting her Green Card restrictions removed. Actually this is just a K-1 visa which is just the first stage of the Fiance process. When she gets in country we have 90 days to get married. Then we have to take the marriage paper work to the San Antonio Field office and get her green card packet and start that process. So yes, the fun's just beginning.

    For a good woman it is worth the work. Only time will tell if it really is good or not. With your past I think you are smart enough to run if you saw it was a bad choice. Congrats !

    Only those that do it legally.  The others just do not do anything and demand that they be taken care of cause its their right
