Well,I have to say that I somewhat agree with the original OP.I do believe that ,up to a certain point,you ARE resposible for the other.In our case my man has lost his job(been laid off) and yes I did feel that I should support him.So I do think that in certain situations you should support the one you love.But to just sit back and wait for your other half to support you,no not definitley is wrong.But when the situation requires it-YES.

If you love 'em you wanna make sure they have what they need.

This is the thread that never ends.. and it goes on and on my friends.. some people starting posting it not knowing what it was.. and they'll continue posting it forever just because it is the post that never ends.. and it goes on and on my friends.. some people starting posting it not knowing what it was.. and they'll continue posting it forever just because it is the post that never ends.. and it goes on and on my friends.. some people starting posting it not knowing what it was.. and they'll continue posting it forever just because it is the post that never ends.. and it goes on and on my friends.. some people starting posting it not knowing what it was.. and they'll continue posting it forever just because it is....

This is a song that get's on everyone's nerves, everyone nerves ,everyone's nerves...

LOL Kind of like that game you play as a kid...you know the one..."I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you...." Except in our cases...its true...USCIS ISN'T REALLY TOUCHING YOU ...lol

Love is not an EMOTION or FEELING....

That if made from the heart...will outlast ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING!!!!

Mnnnn.... WOW!!!!

I know how I feel about this question personally, but if I express my honest and truthful opinion I probably will be baned for life :-)

I agree with texasseoul, an indication of requesting support is not a good sign to the petitioner, not at all. The petitioner is spending a boat load of money to get the beneficiary here. It is said that from beginning to end, the petitioner invests up to $20 000, just to get you into his/her country legaly. This value comes form increase in telephone cost, interpreters (if needed), legal fees, flights, accomidation on your visits, spending money on documents, packages send (fedex) maybe language classes, etc.

If the petioner proposes a monthly support, that is one thing, but for the money he/she is... and will spend on you to get you here... be thankful for what is being done for you already! An international relationship costs money - AND LOTS OF IT. With an international relationship the petitioners expences increases drasticly... with a local relationship, it does not.

I understand that life could be hard in less fortunate countries... so my advice and the bottom line, is treat your fiance's money with the greatest respect. He/she works hard for it and is truely taking a leap financialy to make all of your relationship happen - respect that and be grateful for it.

When you are together, we will take care of you, but not not abuse the faith he/she is already extending to you by his/her financial commitment already.

My last not on this subject... "his responsability"... he knows his responsability, and if he has not extended to you to support you monthly yet, consider all the other huge expences he is undergoing for you.

Sincerely,

Justin

Yes, I send my wife $400.00 per month to take care of her needs in the Philippines, which is about twice the average national income there.

I offered it, she never asks me for anything!

After all she is my wife and my best friend!

Regarding the expenses of having an LDR....

That should be qualified as to where the other person lives, how much you talk on the phone, etc.

So far we have $170 for I-129f, $750 for one flight here, $850 for another flight here, an extra $70/month on my cell phone bill, and a trifling amount for "entertainment" during her visits. I'm poor as hell, but haven't had a problem having a long distance relationship.

Of course, Sian is from England - where the pay is similar to, or a little higher than, here - and my calling plan is 6 cents/minute to the UK.

Honestly, this is a less expensive relationship than many I've had here in the states. Costs a lot emotionally, though.

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. ####### coated bastards with ####### filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bobble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.

I send about twice that, 2 families my wife and daughter, and wife's mom and dad...and it makes a lot of sense in my situation. YMMV
