Your MIL is coming to live with you? Is she hot?

"I want to take this opportunity to mention how thankful I am for an Obama re-election. The choice was clear. We cannot live in a country that treats homosexuals and women as second class citizens. Homosexuals deserve all of the rights and benefits of marriage that heterosexuals receive. Women deserve to be treated with respect and their salaries should not depend on their gender, but their quality of work. I am also thankful that the great, progressive state of California once again voted for the correct President. America is moving forward, and the direction is a positive one."

If she looks anything like your wife she's sure to make a hook up in a NYC second. :yes:

After 5 B-1 Visa denials by the consulate, we had had no alternative but to go for an IR-5 on my MIL. They are so arbitrary in they're approvals it makes me sick. So....we are at NVC now, should be Mid-August or a bit later...she'll be here.........

I read several stories like yours. It made for a real nail biter for us. We feel blessed to have gone through with out a hitch.
