Okay maybe I was a fool

[Channah&Aaron 51]

; SEND IT TO ME!! LOL!! I'd accept it!! hehehehe .. though, it was very sweet of you to sent the "expensive" flowers, too bad for you they don't accept gifts ....

[newlyweds2010 208]

yeah, as everybody else has already pointed out in different ways, definitely not a good move.

[Amyyduck 20]

Next time send the flowers to your love - you will see more gratitude

Good advice!! To the OP: ask them if they can refund your money. Then like Lucy said, use it to send flowers to your Fiancee!

[GC2010 7]

proble if you well just send the money instead of the flowers they would of accept it..

[Ryan H 3,812]

On serious note, if the OP had come on here and said he was considering doing that before he actually did it, I think the general consensus of the replies would have been to NOT DO IT.

Why red flag yourself and your petition when you probably had no red flags to begin with.

As LucyNY said, that $75 you spent on the flowers should have gone to your SO instead.

I needed a good giggle today! Should have sent the flowers to your loved one would have got you a LOT further!! 

So call me unlucky, silly or lovestruck. I thought hey!.. they are so busy working on other types of Visa at VSC. Maybe I can get someones attention. So I ordered a huge boquet of expensive flowers to send anonymously to the department. I thought someone might appreciate their beauty and take an extra 5 minutes off their lunch hour to take a peak. I also realized they may take the card off and display the flowers ....that was okay too!...But alas they turned the whole thing away and refused to accept it at all. Seventy Five dollars down the drain.

Next time, if you want to send flowers send them to your fiancee, mom, sister, etc. We will all just have to wait for an adjudicator to go through our petition packets...

I am sure your Fiancee would have loved those flowers, I know that mine does because I just sent her some for her birthday, The rewards are much better that way too. It is also useful because you can use the receipt for proof of an ongoing relationship when the time comes If they need more proof...lol

Good going guys Laughing my As* off :rofl: :rofl:

Huh, didn't know that... I'd process packages for people from home

Jim he said he sent it anonymously... so I don't think they'd think bribe. My first thought was "terrorism" actually.

OP - It does seem like you were just trying to be nice and I hope it doesn't affect you like Jim's saying it could

Hi heart was in the right place.

[Darnell 8,478]

oh boy.

you may think it was anonymous -

but

if the FBI gets involved for any 'backtracking' -

it's gonna be dead easy to determine (for them)

who paid for the flowers..

Just saying...

If I was doing something like this, I'd choose

the Immigration Liason Staffer

at my US Senator's office,

to send flowers to, and it wouldn't be anonymous - I'd want him/her to know it was from me.

They are not allowed to accept anything valued at more than 5$. and even that could create problems.. I discussed this wth my ILO... I asked if pizza showed up anonymously at lunch what would happen.. "it would get eaten""... any other gifts from an individual would get refused/returned... if they accept something from someone they run the risk of losing thier position...

Not true. I would ask when they were going to be delivered so I could drop by the VSC abd take the flowers out of the dumpster and give them to Alla.

Kidding.
