Well, unfortunately I have come to learn it is going to be impossible to get married in Mexico. Process takes at least 3 weeks, which I don't have. I don't know what to do next...I'm seriously about ready to just say screw it.

Melissa, what's the problem with the 3 weeks—work?

If so, is it possible for you to take a portion of the 3 weeks as unpaid leave? I'd hate to see you give up now.

Alternatively, can Javier get a visitor's visa to, say, a Central American country or to Canada, and you could have the wedding there?

Latest news: Green card received 16 April 2007. USCIS-free until 3 January 2009! Eligible to naturalize 3 April 2010.

I have to apply for permission to marry a Mexican citizen...it takes 3 weeks, you have to stay there the whole time. I'm sure my job would have something available, but I've only been here a month.

Well I would ASK your employer what is available and when it would be available to you.

There's no way I'd let something logistics deter me from marrying the love of my life.

Definitely. They can't say no unless you ask.

If they do, you could always stay on but start seeking another job in the fall and early winter. Then give your notice, go to Mexico for 3 weeks, and come back and start a new job. In your line of work, there's always work at tax season!

What's not worked out? You can marry him, you just have to figure out how to make it happen.

Again, ask your employer what options you have. I'm sure any reasonable person, upon hearing the facts, would be glad to help you. They're not called HUMAN resources for nothing.

I can't switch jobs again. It would be career suicide. I have already left 2 jobs before reaching a year. I need to stay with something at least a year, preferably MUCH longer.

Then you tell your job that, about 8 months from now, you need to be away for 3 weeks. Save up all your vacation until then--surely you do get at least 2 weeks' paid vacation? Ask if you can take an extra week unpaid. Be honest and straightforward.

Melissa, right now you're dooming yourself to fail. No one has told you "no" yet.

agreed with Pax...it very well could be with this much advance notice it won't be a problem at all.

If it is...carefully consider. It's a JOB, compared to being with Javier. You can get another job..even if it's not what you WANT to do, you're not being forced not to be with him.

Wish you only the best, Melissa, and hope it works out for you. (F) M.
