You haven't seen your wife in 3 years?!?!? How?

I left Honduras --- for financial reasons, not because I wanted to. I dont have anyone who I would even consider to be a sponsor-- when I left I thought it would be just months before we would see each other- I thought WHILE I reestablished myself financially she could come visit--

I did not know the laws-- after I got established - I applied--

its not three years it is 2 years 5 months and 28 days.

we applied for two visitation visas and was TURNED DOWN--

count YOUR blessings...

Also when I left-- our farm was in a part of Honduras that did NOT have internet-- for the first 6 months I could only call her cell phone at 40 cents a minute... we were fortunate enough to get internet access and able to speak on SKYPE as we have every day since-- I have spoken to my wife and daughters every day on the phone sometimes for a few hours / with VIDEO - if the connection is strong enough--

We did this on our own-- My parents are both deceased- I have no brothers and sisters -- I was invested in Mortgages... ?@!?!! -- like I said count your blessings- How long have you been apart?-- I missed my daughters first and second birthday-- she will be three on July 11th - and SHE COULD COME anytime without her mother and sister-- ?? thats the laws... like I said something has to change-- but as soon as I am through this- like everyine in the past- I will want to forget it and will forget about it. I am NOT an activist. just following THEIR procedures..-- I had many long conversations with the consular officer after they denied my wifes visitation in 2012 and that is when I learned the reality of the situation-

Thank GOD my wife is as strong as I am- you have no idea how difficult this has been on all of us-- been through robberies, stalkers, disgruntled employees, lawsuits, car accidents, family illness, and we remain a family.

For all those looking for flights (now or for the future), I find the "google flights" has really good fares... the best I've found, at least for us from the Caribbean to the US west coast. At the top of your search results, it will even give you suggestions on how to get a cheaper flight (i.e. leave a day later or leave from another airport nearby). It also has a really awesome calendar that has a graph at the bottom showing which days have the lowest fares for the selected route, which is good for us because we won't have to leave on any specific day after we get the visa, just which ever day has the cheapest flight!

You can find it at https://www.google.com/flights/

Enjoy! I hope it helps someone find a cheap flight!

This is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing!
