Feelin down...

I usually don't let myself get down about things, and when I do, I usually don't share it with everybody. But right now I need my friends at Teamps.

Here is the reason why I am down.

We have been planning on moving to the US for a very long time and having my father be a joint-sponsor for my husband, since I am not currently living in the states. Well...to make a long story short we found out last week that my father does not qualify to be a sponsor. So we sit here sponsorless (if that is a word). This makes me really sad because I really miss my family and want to move home.

Sorry about dumping my sorrows on everyone, I just feel close to you guys and felt like sharing.

Sorry to hear that Mara... hey - who knows - maybe your father could find someone else to sponsor your husband?

You can't get another sponsor?

And do you have to have a sponsor to get citizenship? I doubt every immigrant has a sponsor.

He needs a sponsor to get a green card to work...I would not be able to support our family by myself. I could try, but very risky. I don't want put my children in that situation.

We are looking, but have not found anyone yet.

It all makes me feel sick to my stomach.

Hmmm. I think its time we smuggle you in mara! Ive seen it done on the news a few times...so i think i know how. I will need some surveillance equipment, a gun possibly, and about $5,000 in umarked bills upfront deposited in a bank in zurich.

Either that, or this one time on the news these immigrants tried to use a 52 pickup as a floatation device. They didnt quite make it (lol), but its an idea to start with!

Seriously though....that sucks. I hope you find some way over here! Isnt there any way to get a loan of some kind?? or could you move in with your father until thing settle down?

We are gonna stay with my dad, the thing is getting my husband a green card with a work visa. Immigration requires a financial sponsor for him to enter with a green card. We won't really need anyone to pay money for us when we get there, it is just government red tape. They gotta have their papers.

It is hard to explain. Mostly of bunch of red tape.

Where are you planning on living in the US?

also, good luck on getting everything settled, I will cross my fingers for you. ;)

I'll lend you my US citizenship, I still have my Japanese one handy.

Hope you get that stuff sorted out; paperwork sucks. :(

that's terrible to hear. Hope all goes well with the sponsorship :(

(I was waiting for your arrival for nearly a year now :( )
