Uh oh!

The only thing to which I need not speculate is the degree of your chutzpah...

I'm not on trial here; however, I assume you are an expert in trial procedures as well?

I'm not going to go through all my statements again: nor do I have to justify or explain them. My view is thusly stated: you need to be careful about not only what you say, but how you say it and to whom (and be cognizant what they think when they receive it). People's very lives and happiness and sometimes their freedom (because some of the penalties for violating immigration laws are that draconian) are at stake and that's too important to just flip off responses and advice and citations without training or experience. Some people take these things as authoritative, and go out and follow this advice to the letter!

As for you, Debating Miss, you couldn't possibly have had experience in every area on which you opine, because basically you have an opinion on everything...nor are you an immigration attorney because you could have ended the whole discussion between us the first time simply by stating that you were (are), in which case I would certainly defer to your knowledge of the relevant rules and the application of those statutes to the facts of individual cases. However, you did not so state and therefore I did not so defer.

Personally speaking, I wish no one ill will. I do wish people would be a little more careful giving advice, however, for the reasons stated. Whether it is because one wants to be helpful, or if one wants to appear knowledgeable or if one just can't help themselves, it doesnt matter. This is because the potential effect could be devestating to a person if there was one misunderstanding of fact, rule, interpretation or application. What is that person (or their spouse or fiance or whomever) going to do then? Tell the USCIS " made a mistake and listened to someone on Visa Journey so please give me another chance? Good luck...

Anyway, I'm tired of all this - I have business to which I must attend ---

Throwing weight around here might impress others, (although I seriously doubt that at this juncture) but it doesn't impress me, nor, incidentally, do you intimidate me one iota (although that is one distinct hazard to perhaps the unsuspecting). Not that you're looking to do that, but if there is any inherent hazard on these boards, in my opinion, it is comments that bespeak legal authority, be it in the world of immigration or patent law (which, incidentally has the little to no legal credentialling requirement) can be misleading. I've not claimed to be an authority, nor expert, nor have I offered legal advice ~ you have assigned those labels to me.

I can't fathom why it is you have me in your scope. The mere fact that you refer to me as having 'chutzpah', when only you have exhibited effrontery is comical! Am I to consider your comment that "you are not on trial here" as perhaps a declaration that to be scrutinised and interrogated is unreasonable~ correction,~as Wwholly inappropriate? Likewise, I firmly agree, and the feeling is mutual! I surmise this might be a new experience for you, japau...perhaps mere mortal 'females' typically kowtow to open avowal of your opinion of them. Well, that's not me.

I've not treated you with disrespect, although you have me. I've not belittled you or questioned your professional stature, although you have in your infinite wisdom not given consideration to mine, whatever that might be. While I've no doubt you are enjoying conducting your little "witch hunt", I find it at cross-purposes to the reason you claim you are here. Once again, and perhaps pedantic, as in this instance pedantic is necessary, my 'opinion' is as valid as yours. And while all that is being offered is an opinion, clearly articulated as such and based very often, much to your dismay, upon personal experience, background or training, both yours and mine remains moot. The defence rests.......

Oh wow good old VJ hasn't changed then I see- just some new faces added to the mix LOL I was wondering how my topic had generated 3 pages of replies until I opened it!!!

From the advice, sorry personal opinions etc etc I managed to pull out of the debate from Meauxna (thanks for the welcome back, nice to see a familiar name )and others I'm reassured I am right in my thinking I won't have a problem with the error so thank you!!

I had considered going the infopass appointment route so will do that when I get home to see if things can get done quicker than just filing an I-90, and I will check out that thread you suggested too thanks.

I can go on with my trip now safe in the knowledge that my Green Card will be ok and VJ is the same place it was when I left hehe!!
