Update on the denial

[TracyLuis 0]

Where did Jabree ever specify her hardship? How does everyone know why her petition was denied? I searched and searched, and never found mention of "not having met in person" or "fear of flying".

Am I to assume this entire thread debate is based solely on speculation? Interesting.....

She filed under hardship. That means she was not able to go see him before filing which means she had to write a letter of hardship explaining why they have not met in the past 2 years.

To,

Everyone who was interested in our case being denied...

I retained an attorney to appeal our case this morning . Of course, there are NO guarantees of an approval.

We felt it was our only recourse at this point, so this is where we are at as of right now.

We want to thank those who sent us PM's and were concerned, and also those who posted encouraging words in my recent thread, and the many prayers that went out to us out of brotherly/sisterly love.

There had been some questions concerning this denial. I can tell you that when we filed , we filed under a hardship. I do not want people thinking their case will be denied because ours was. Each case, as we all know, is different in it's own right.

Keep us in your prayers, it is going to be a rough road ahead.

God Bless you all !

Jabree and Hitham

I am sorry to tell you that you will not succeed and will spend money on a wasted effort with the lawyer. Please read from the link below and think about possible ways to physically meet.

Thanks for posting those decisions- they are a good read and are very interesting.

Oh please, did you really need to come find a post of mine where you think I may have used the wrong word to say that they both have the same condition? You know what I mean, bye now.

Sarah wasn't posting abt Jabree stating they were both sick, it was abt another couple who managed to see each other despite the fact that they are both wheelchair bound - again, NOT JABREE... pls refer to the previous 2 or 3 posts....

And I guess you failed to see the part where I said I admire tham and think it's great they did so much to make things work.

Yep, that about sums it up very well. Speculation took over like wildfire. It was disclosed in another thread that she couldn't meet in person and that she tried to file for a hardship waiver. That part is not speculation.

However, it has never been disclosed why she can't meet. Everything pertaining to the reasons have been pure speculation. Frankly, I don't buy the fear of flying or lack of money speculations.

Jabree has as much admitted that she'll be ridiculed if she disclosed the reason(s), so I highly doubt it's for these two reasons. Additionally, retaining a lawyer pretty much rules out the lack of funds possibility.

I'd love to know the reason why she couldn't have met her SO, but I'm resigned to the fact that she won't be disclosing her details. I respect her privacy. (I don't have a timeline sig myself because I like my privacy too.)

Best of luck Jabree. I hope you are the 1 in 50,000 cases where a waiver is granted.

Thanks Noura! Funny how she hunted down my post and tried to get me into trouble. I guess she didn't read the thread now did she.

I have read the whole thread, and I do know she wasn't talking about Jabree. I am just commenting on the fact that people with muscular dystrophy aren't SICK. It's just the wrong word, as Sarah acknowledged.
