Beth do you still have the sticker that has your code of operating system on the bottom of laptop. If you do you can take it to a local computer repair shop and they can restore you and possibly recover your hard drive. Last time I had to do it (last year) was around 100$ for restore and he burnt my hard drive data to a disk for 25$. What can I say he loves me.

I am really sleepy today its been raining for almost 2 weeks every single day. I could use a day of sunshine I am looking rather vampire-ish. I cannot tan at the tanning bed no time and I dont really care for the idea of risking more spot removal.

Hope everyone is havin a fantastical day.

Good moring Castaways, Happy Friday. Okay here it is, I was home last night with my brother and his girl visiting, and Kristi asked me, Beth did you and Mo get this far in process last time? DUH, it hit me, she was right, I saw a brighter side, I told her NO never made it close to as we are now, made me feel better. Silly, how the simpliest things mean so much.

We are goin to make it thru this process, and we are a whole lot further in this process then last year.

We are are going to make it thru this process once and for all.

[Beth/ Paris Heart 2]

Thank you Sandra, RFE will come shorlty, and will handle it ASAP. It will all be fine. You have a wonderful Friday and a better weekend.

[lgg 2]

Hey PH...

May I ask what stopped you from carrying on with the process last time? If you don't mind -- share with us so we can see if we have any similar situations where we can help each other out!

Any news about the RFE?? You've made me nervous that maybe we have one that's just sitting there gathering dust!

anyway, like I said before, at least you know that the USCIS is hard at work on your file!

Best and if you don't feel sharing the story of your previous filing, that's fine -- just curious about what things hold back all the others here in the same situations as us...

Best,

LGG

lgg,

No its fine, and Im sure not many at all with a story like mine from when we filed.

Let me make it short and sweet, when I was 18, (24 years ago) stupid, and no brain, a part of my life where Im so ashammed of, I married a man, who my parents found out he was still married, wanted by the law and etc. So married was not valid, and parents took care of the matter, no record was suppose to be on file of the marriage. Okay forward to 2007 I married my husband, filed with VSC to bring him here, Jan. 2008 this was, forward to June 2008, Im in the country marriage records, trying to find my brothers marrage cert. I was going to order a copy frame it, and give it to them with champage for their wedding anniversary, and there it was my marriage cert from 1984, shock, panic all set in. I called a old school friend at courthouse, asked why is it on file, was never there before, etc. anyways, asked him to send me the papers showing marriage invalid or whatever they had there on file. NOTHING, heart stopped, I was still considered married to this clown from 24 years ago. I immediatley withdrew the petitions at VSC, got my girlfriend whom is a top criminal attorney, and we put our heads together. First we had to find this clown, have not seen hide or hair from him on 24 years, where to start, the INTERNET and law enforcement friends from attorneys, to a judge and 2 duputy sheriff friends.

Anyways found him in 72 hours with internet, and warden at a State prison to confirm he is the man we found on the internet. I could not prove from 24 years ago that he was married and etc. too much work, easier to just disolve marriage, so we Filed for divorce, served him the paperwork by a Deputy in North Carolina named Bubba, NOT KIDDING, and 4 days later got papers back from him, divorce granted in 61 days of filing for divorce. Judge who granted the divorce knew the whole story, and my attorney is his stand in judge when he is out, so I lucked out there. Later down the road after hurricane Ike, we re-married, had honeymoon, and re-filed with USCIS. That is the short/sweet version.

So now we are legally married !!! Thank God saw me thru this time in my life. Its something I would not wish on my worst emeny. Any if you wonder why I hired a criminal attorney to handle divorce, is cause I could of been in serious trouble even though it was a terrible honest mistake on my part.Its the only part in my life 24 years ago, I wish I could make disapear cause Im so ashamed of it. Man marreid me for my parents money is basically why, and I was a dumb a$$,

PH...

WOW! That's quite the story and you're right -- probably unique to you! Thanks for sharing -- I'm sort of in shock. Glad you got it resolved with the help of "Bubba"...

Wow... okay, extra good luck then -- we all need it but this is round two for you and your guy so...

Thanks for sharing your story, PH... it's a good one.

Thank you as I said its the only part in my life that Im very ashammed of. And for Bubba, my attorney asked when he was going got be served, find the biggest, ugliest officer you can find to serve him, LOL Im not kidding. Bubba watched him sign papers on front of a notary, and mailed them to my attorney.

But it made me stronger, and not to be so trusting. My parents were wonderful to me all my life, spoiled me, gave me a wonderful education, and did what they could when this occured 24 years ago.

I guess we all have parts in our lifes where we want to hide and disapear, but you learn from those lessons, and hopefully become a better person, I did, I attended college for 4 years, got 2 degrees and a Masters, and made a very good life for myself, now I have a life with my husband, who stood by me the whole time, never a discouraging word from him, only support and love.

Sandra,

Sorry to hear about your RFE. Yeah, USCIS definitely gets things a little backwards. LOL. I guess the good news is that NVC seems to be moving along quickly. Hang in there girl!!
