Do you consider yourself a VJ veteran ?

[panamania79 2]

Well since we finished our visa journey and hubby has the 10 yr green card, I'd say in that way we are VJ veterans...and I also have been here over 4 years, yikes. Yes I remember when the cat was the main topic of OT and most screen names included "cat" in them. (Yes I am exaggerating, but not too much hehe)

Absolutely nothing wrong with cat talk and cats names. In fact, I think that would be great.

Ohhh yes, I also remembered that most VJ'ers had a "cat" avatar in their profile ID too what was that all about, Year of the Cat maybe?

I used to love that song !

As another February '04 joiner, I suppose I count as a "VJ veteran"

Two names...

UncaRastus and Jaffa...ring any bells?

I definitely remember them! Very unforgettable couple Also remember when our founder was a regular poster, and the halcyon days before the Great "Lawyer Whom Shall Not Be Named" Fracas resulted in major organizational changes

I think VJ was created sometime in 2003...

Anyone still here from 2003?

I believe Steve was the founder of VJ. He was a Lockheed employee from Florida who went through the process and started this site mainly to post the Guides and Visa FAQ's. He had a blow up with the most obnoxious and slimy lawyer that used to contribute a little material and reply as his signature was a solicitation for business. Man I really disliked him, MDull or something like that. He turned over VJ to someone named Ewok when he felt the stress of running this site was hurting his marriage and here we are.

Marilyn and Peter since early 2004 and almost done with this immigration mess.

Hello Marilyn and Peter! Thanks for the insight. I think I actually met that lawyer in person. We had a VJ meetup in LA last year, June 2007. There was only about a dozen or so of us at small restaurant and towards the end of the evening, this guy that was sitting at table next to us all that time turns around and introduced himself as a former member/immigration lawyer. It was pretty bizarre.

I have also been here for 4 years, on and off. And I remember all the old people to...the cat ladies -> we even had a Sassycat Appreciation Day (as well as a Sharon Appreciation Day). I also remember the good old thread called: URGENT!!! QUESTION ABOUT DIRT, Can He or Can't HE???? All the fighting and endless lawyer bashing.

Oh and Uncarastus and Jaffa of course.

I am a bit of a veteran, I guess. But I don't have enough posts to be a proper veteran.

Not a vetran, just a newbie freshman, bringing myself and John into the frey but trying not to get in the way of "The Heathers" or trouble

You're a veteran if you remember when all the posters in OT were women with cats talking about their favourite colours.

and all had names that ended in "cat'..sassycat..tendercat..pussycat...

[Jenn! 918]

I have lots of battle scars.

MUdall was his handle . Before there was VJ, there was a woman by the name of "lady something" (can't rememberthe name) who had a website similar to VJ helping couples going through the visa process.

MUDall successfully scuttled that website as I recall using the same approach of threats.

He probably was on a crusade against sites like VJ which he thought would cut into the business of immigration lawyers.
