The ME/NA Welcome to America Thread

Jenn! · December 13, 2006

Ok, I've done my best at cleaning the list up a bit. I know that there is still a lot missing. Please be sure to PM me or post here if you see any corrections that need to be made or if you have some news to add to the list. I put those who I know have gotten visas recently into the upcoming reunification section. Let me know when your SO is coming!

The Visa Journey doesn't end with the visa. As you can see there's so much more to look forward to!

Thanks Jenn! You clearly did a lot of work updating this and thank you!

PalestineMyHeart · December 13, 2006

Aw hellz I guess this is one list I'll never be on. :crying:

But nice job updating it for "what's happenin' now" !!

Just a thought -- perhaps "reunion" is a more appropriate word here than "reunification" -- reunify is more for political terms. (Sorry but I'm obsessed with nuance....)

Great work, Jenn ! :thumbs:

sometimes teh reunions do feel more like reunification (after being political split by government forces against the will of the two parties)

You ain't never lied !!

But you know I'm completely psychotic about "proper usage" and subtle shades of meaning... I really should be put away where I can't bother normal people any more.... :innocent:
