They say death comes in threes...

In September, it was my maternal grandfather.

In November, it was my paternal grandmother.

Now, it's my dear Uncle Dale.

I never got to see him often because I lived in the Midwest all my life and he and my aunt lived in Pennsylvania, but we got along SO well the few times we did get to meet up. He was so awesome. We had this inside joke because we both used to be so gluttonous: "We do not eat to live; we live to eat!"

I'm not a Christian, but I hope, if there is an afterlife, that it is good to him.

At least he's not suffering anymore.

Ugh. -_- If my family could stop dying now, that would be wonderful.

My condolences to you and your family Necrotica.

Lol I often wonder when reading some questions if people actually think that everyone else just simply over-looked the easier solution.

Question: "Can I visit the USA for the entire K-1 or CR-1 process, go back to get my medical and interview, then just move right back over?"

Answer: "6 months blah blah hard to prove ties blah blah typical information that everyone rocks at giving here that makes it PAINFULLY simple to know it varies and should be careful, prepare for the time apart, all that good stuff :) "

Question: "Well then can I just move the the USA, get married, and then file for AOS?"

Seriously do people think that anyone WOULDN'T do it that way if it was nice, legal, and 100% a possibility? ARRRRRRG hehe

My wife has been back since June 5, 2007. Now we're just livin' man, L I V I N :)

Ya know what I hate, trying to clean the house and find our winter clothes in storage, and rather than getting to the task, my husband takes it as his opportunity to go on a stroll down memory lane opening every box up like its Christmas and nostalgiatizing about every single item. Its 11:15 and we've only made it through 3 boxes, none of which contain winter clothes. And now, he's found his High School letterman jacket. God help me. This is going to take all day. :crying:

OH WORD to that, bowflex, word to that. It's like, really? You don't think every single one of us hadn't looked up, researched, checked out the easier way and then still opted for the longer way, the way with the absolute longest wait humanly possible?

I know, I hear you...

*hands bowflex a nice cold Friday afternoon draught*

At least the person you are talking about is asking questions! lol Many people have been given lots of wrong info! Soo many still think if ya marry a USA citizen, u get automatic entry! I feel bad for the ones that do come here and ask, then get a rough time! lol

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Lol Oh I'm glad the questions are asked and I'm glad that she got off the illegal way so quickly. It just always surprises me when it just seems the person is waiting for someone to pat them on the back and tell them doing it the wrong way is okay or that anything in this funky process is a sure thing.

I remember when my wife and I went to Montreal I thought it was in the bag and then it felt like a stern kick square to the left fig when we were denied Lol. People need to know that every part of this process has the potential to suck royally haha.

My wife has been back since June 5, 2007. Now we're just livin' man, L I V I N :)
