Chief lag raha hai ap nay kafi Mehnat ki hai apnay signature mein !!! anyway it looks good !!!

Sunday is for killing time (till she comes, though ;) ) Thats why I spent lots of time making signature.

Shon!!!! Thanks. See it makes total sense to use off topic thread for stuff not related to immigration or embassy issues. But may I just, please, please, please explain to you how each of the following aren't off topic?

Jokes: When someone posts a joke, people feel better. When they will go to embassy, they will think of this joke, it will help them relax at the interview. As a result the interview will INSHA ALLAH be successful. Therefore, jokes should not be considered off topic.

Recipies: Even though no one has posted any recipie so far, but that's a good idea and is actually a crucial embassy related issue. Because: For the purpose of validation of relationship, CO can ask spouse at the embassy what kind of dishes does your American spouse like? Posting recipies will remind us to tell our spuses what we like so that they can answer that question successfully. Therefore, recipies should be given an on-topic status.

Laugh and Cry: See, laughing out loud or crying is highly non-recommended at the embassy. But these things can not be stopped either. Thats why crying or laughing on the forum will prevent such things from happening at the embassy, which in turn will INSHA ALLAH result in positive outcome!!! Therefore, crying or laughing should not be discouraged and should not be considered off topic.

Games: I totally agree with you shon!!!!!!! why should someone post games on the forum. Dont they know it's immigration related thread? Any one willing to post games must use off tpoic thread.

Did I explained myself shon?
