I know we didn't talk much, HA, but I'll miss seeing you around the place and reading your posts - I hope you'll pop back in occasionally and let us know how you're doing, and maybe stick around for a bit while you're at it!

But for now... good luck (with everything), I'm so sorry for what's happening to you right now, you must still be in total shock. I hope the move home goes smoothly and that you're ok with the flights (I'll still track them, if I can, and the cats' flights too!) - and that this fresh start will bring a ton of good things your way. (F)

2005 - We met

2006 - Filed I-129F

2007 - K-1 issued, moved to US, completed AOS (a busy year, immigration-wise)

2009 - Conditions lifted

2010 - Will be naturalising. Buh-bye, USCIS! smile.png

sorry to see you go HA. thanks for the advice.

please tell me people weren't mocking her yesterday. if you agree w/ someone or not, or even if its personality issue. poking at someone w/ a broken heart is beyond cowardly.

I think this thread should stay on topic.

Given the shocking behavior in my thread yesterday I feel this is no longer an appropriate or friendly place for me to be, especially since this site is all about family immigration and my cowardly ** of a soon to be ex husband lied his way through our marriage and we're now divorcing.

So I'm not really interested in hanging out with a bunch of happy families, especially when they're rubbing salt in my open wounds.

To the people who were supportive, thank you.

I may visit occasionally but this will be my last post for a while.

Have a safe trip home and good luck for your life back in the States

Best of luck to you - I hope everything works out ok for you.

Hey HA, just wanted to wish you good luck on your return home. I like many others are sorry that the circumstances have turned so sour for you. Don't let what has happened mar your happiness at finally being home where you belong.

Given time you will move on to bigger and better things.

I too will track the flight and that of your cats (although I do not even know now if they are going)? At least you will have the knowledge that there are still people from VJ tracking you as you travel.

I know you are very hurt and I understand you not wanting to post anymore here, but please if you have to make a last post, make it the one that tells us you are home....where you belong and with people that love you and what you have waited for, for the past 6 years.

Good Luck, dont be a stranger!!!

I guess.. I suppose we all could bail out of VJ when our relationship goes south.

I thought about disabling my account since our denial and since my husband has asked for a divorce.

but, I am here maybe not for the " pour some salt on me treatment" but, maybe for a little healing.

You have so much information to share with others, it would be a loss to see you go.
