And that's ban or declare unconstitutional the ban on gay marriage. Sorry for my poor English, typing at work.

Again, I feel people should be able to do what they want. I hate it has gone on this long. This should have been done a long time ago.

Urgh you want to are move to Texas? Not a place I would want to move to. I hope it is at least, Dallas, Houston or Austin. I would not suggest any other place in Texas to move to. Still toooooooo conservative in a lot of areas. However, it is tolerable as long as you have thick skin. I'm a state employee and the insurance is good, but it is nothing compared to what you are getting in Canada. This I can assure you.

I hope they ban it as well. Let people do what they want to do as long as it isn't affecting you personally. What goes on in other people's houses stays in their house, unless it is abuse.

It's Austin. It's not our first or even our tenth choice about where we want to live, but it's advantageous to her career for us to be in Texas for now. There's only so much choice you get in her field about where you live. We'll be able to pick a new place to live in a few years, though. And yeah, the insurance won't be as good as what I'm used to, but America sucks for healthcare, I just have to accept that. Business is more important than human lives in a pure capitalist nation.

It looks like the final call will be in June, two years almost exactly since DOMA fell and let us go on th

Ahaaa I remember we had this conversation before. People in Austin aren't so bad. It's a pretty okay place to move too. I think you will like. I heard the lakes there are awesome and there are some nice water activities.

Well let's keep our fingers crossed for June. I hate it when all of the people who are making the calls lack any experience in the situation.

Austin is not so terribly bad. it's Texas that's the problem, lol.

My fingers are SO crossed for June. It makes me angry that the people making the calls for rights for minorities are old white straight rich men who have never had experience with discrimination. It's not fair.

Do you know how I can get around the copyright part? It kept giving me an error message about it. I was scared I would get sued or something. lol

I'm not sure. People mesh music and videos, and music and photos all the time. Let me do some research.

Sooo true. But you can do it. I have faith in you!!

And when you feel like you can't handle it, I want you to think, "well, I could be in Devil's River or Wink, Texas." lol

Sorry. Thanks for your help!

[Soloenta 2,218]

Thank you! I just checked and it says issued! Praise God!

Awwww your so cute, you silly goose it will change to ready soon when your Visa is ready so while its being made it says AP and that is for everyone. Usually takes a few days to one or two weeks. No fears sweetness all is well.

Woooooooooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooooooooooooo what did I tell you, just thrilled for you my sweet friend.

Hi, all. I have submitted the DS261 on January 10, and I am passed the 42-day wait. I called yesterday to check on progress and was told they were going to put in a request to have the DS261 processed.

Has anyone encountered this situation? How long do you think until IV fee is invoiced?

Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the thread we're very happy you found us and I'm sure someone has or will answer you and please check the first page there you will find Saylins page which will have all these answers or you can ask with a quicker response. Much luck to you for a smooth rest of your journey.

You have done a wonderful job! I sent you an email as well. Let me know if you have some suggestions. You really summed it up for us. Excellent work!

I agree just lovely and whom ever goes to watch the videos please give a thumbs up for the videos, ty. and subscribe also please.

We're at day 50 of the 'at least 60 days' and every passing day leaves me more nervous that we will get a checklist. We worked so hard at the paperwork, but I keep thinking 'what if?' I didn't realize that it would take so long for our paperwork to get to NVC and for us to get assigned a case number, so I went immediately when we were approved at USCIS for my police records check--It was completed in October. What if it is too old and they checklist us for it being too old just because I was excitedly getting ready and they took so long? What if we mis-typed a piece of information?

I'm so scared of a checklist. I want to be where my wife is. I know I'm lucky. I've got nothing on Janelle or on Soloenta in my wait time, but I was hoping, when we began this process, that I might be so lucky as to be moving down in February. Now, at best, it will be May or June. I am Canadian and moving to the Texas heat. When I was down there in July last summer, I thought I would DIE. I was really hoping to get moved early enough in the summer that I wouldn't hit the hottest part, so I could acclimatize, but it seems as though it is unavoidable--though apparently August/September is even HOTTER, so if I get a checklist, then it will be even worse. I am so very nervous of a checklist.

Checklists are so unfair, my thoughts, as I gain terror of them with each day, are with those of you who are waiting for your second time through the sixty days and, as ever, are with those stuck in AP or for whom consular officials have made idiotic choices.

My heart goes out to you and your wife and am praying to God that you don't get a checklist, we all know to well the pain your going through and my friend time means nothing. Your pain is the same as ours and it's not measured by days, weeks or years the heart knows nothing of that only of what it wants and needs to survive. We are here for you and your wife when ever you need us but you know that.

Oh poor thing I hope you feel better soon and you should be resting specially if your dizzy don't want to fall and get hurt even further.

Not a good day for me today just can't stop crying for some reason, I think Maharosa's video pretty much summed it up for me. God please be with us.

No one said anything. It doesn't seem to have an expiration, but still, it's been since mid October and we're now into March, you know? It seems like a checklist makes you have to wait another 'at least' 60 days and I am getting so scared.

Police records are good for a year so it should be good until Oct of this year, you should have 7 months left on it.

I'm so glad for my insurance through my union. I'll be really sad to get rid of it when I go--right now basically everything is covered 100%. My special orthotics? I had to pay up front, yeah, but 600 dollar shoe inserts that make me walk properly were free. I'm sort of afraid of the cost of health care in the US. I have OHIP for medical and my insurance for everything else and I'm very pampered and coddled.

Oh my your not going to be happy in he US then it's miserable here, very nasty in fact.

Thank you. Sadly, it's just not the same without the music.

I think the silence makes it even more powerful to be honest but was wondering what happened to the music, what happened?

[Not a Tailor 1,370]

Soloenta, you are, as ever, an angel. I do hope you have some good friends or family in 'meatspace' to give you a hug when you're so sad and I hope that a lawyer can help you get your husband. You are the real thing and my thoughts are with you.

When I uploaded it, I received a message it was copyrighted. I didn't know what to do. YouTube offered to take the music out so YouTube edited it without the music. I didn't know how to get around this problem.

[Not a Tailor 1,370]

I think the only solution is to use different music, unfortunately. There are sites like this from which you can select music that is free to use for video purposes.

[Janelle2002 3,865]

Hi Maharose, Not a Tailor suggested this website. Do you want to pick the music you would like for me to upload? http://freemusicarchive.org/curator/video

Thank you my dear friend for understanding and your kind and sweet words. I do have great parents and my brother and nephew and nice, most of the friends I know face to face are very far away but I'm lucky and thankful for them and all of you. Just going through a very bad day. I'll be fine.

When I uploaded it, I received a message it was copyrighted. I didn't know what to do. YouTube offered to take the music out so YouTube edited it without the music. I didn't know how to get around this problem.

You would think they would want their music out there, free advertisement. I want to upload music that is exactly how I feel hope it accepts it.

I'll try my best. I know other people do it, but I was scared. I didn't want to be sued for copy right laws. I will read up on it a little more. Until then, we can always use the free non-copy righted music for all.

[Janelle2002 3,865]

Ok. We still need more videos!

If you do not want to talk, you don't have to.

You can send me words and a photo and I can make a slide show of your words and the photo.

Come on, we can do it!!
