Why not start a VJ Wiki page for it? That way you can edit it at any time, plus it separates it from general chat so it won't get lost in miles of postings :thumbs:

This is a good idea! What do you think Loto? I can help if you want me to?

Ok, I am an ignorant one with wiki, but when I do individual search on wiki for the same topic-- How to bring your foreign spouse to live in the US

At the main wiki page I get the result of Adolf hitler :P

But yes with the visajourney wiki page it does show up when I search the same. Now my suggestion is, can't this same guide be put into main wiki page? No offence, but it took me around 2 years to finally get such a resourceful site as visajourney, google usually doesnt show up visajourney while looking for immigration platforms. Actually putting this specific guide and also mentioning visajourney with the main wiki page might even boost the traffic of visajourney itself.

Again I am sorry if these are impossible, as I said I am ignorant to wiki.

Silent (F), you and your hubby are a nice pair and cute couple (F)

If you search "Adolf Hitler" (no offense to anybody), you will get "How_to_bring_your_foreign_spouse_to_live_in_the_US" document, just kidding :-)
