The whole process is outrageous

[Sinergy 3]

you have support if your not insulting and attacking members left and right, if you want to insult and attack, then you wont find much support here

Ion, it was not me who lobbed the first dung ball.

Thanks, Rakkus.

i read the posts, and i saw you insult horribly. If you can remember that INS is not out to punish you, bc lets face it, they have no clue nor care who you or i or anyone else filing is, then a heck of alot better off you will be in the remaining of your process

and please fill in your timeline

your posting

"That's how it is and it's not going to change."

Says you. What a cowardly attitude. Put up or shut up? Do you want photos of the building, sweetie? Photos of the people inside the building, darling? It's the same building and the same people. I went through this whole damnable process ten years ago and in the decade past it's only gotten worse and ten times the cost in money and bloody pointless paperwork.

You want to bend over and lube up, fine. I've got to do the same thing but the difference between us appears to be that you like it and I don't. It's precisely your sort of attitude that has allowed the feds to spiral so far out of control.

They work for us. We do not work for them. How dare you forget that.

Really? What is this?

We are required to beg and bribe and perform leaps through burning loops of red tape... why? Why do we allow this? Why do we tolerate it? Why are we meekly complying with it?

As the INS thug behind the bullet proof glass in the Anchorage office so snidely informed me, 30 years ago this ####### did not exist. You got married and when you returned to the states, you informed the feds of that fact. The end. Maybe that's true, maybe it's not but either way, I'm fit to go postal trying to comply with endless, redundant demands.

And now I see they've jacked the price up over 100%. So nice I get to pay out the ears for federal goons to abuse my fiance' and I for years to come. I just cannot express my outrage, my absolute hatred of all things INS. How dare they.

They are the same jackoffs in the same building no matter what they call themselves. Do you enjoy begging and bribing and doing tricks hoping for permission to marry who you want? You like that, do you?

Members support members in this group. The OP offers no support. Instead, the OP offers screams and tears for the shoulders of others without contributing so much as a timeline to the group. Even the tears and screams are irrational. The first advice was the best. Zanex or something stronger.

You might try reading for comprehension. Go on, give it a go.

See, unlike many folks, I'm relatively well off and so can afford the pointless ####### and fees of petty bureaucrats. The fiance visa is done and now it's on to more repetitive, pointless bullshit... for several years.

Once it's over and the fiends are no longer a threat to us, I'll continue on and fight them any which way I can figure out how. So who here is offering real support? You and your hypocritical "Members support members" where in you've suggested alternately drugging me or kicking me out of my country... or me, someone who has had enough of INS bullcrap and will go on to raise bloody hell about it so that in the future, maybe people won't be faced with years of pointless, reptitive and ever more expensive shyte?

Perhaps you should try reading for comprehension. I suggested you drug yourself and/or voluntarily live somewhere you would be happier. Both recommendations stand but nobody is going to "drug you or kick you out of your country". This kind of irrational overreaction is likely the genesis of your vitriol. In any event, this is not the place to continue to spew it.

No dung balls were thrown by anyone, though. Xanax was suggested and I said put up or shut up (go through the process and deal with it to do what you have to or go elsewhere, really) but your reaction was a far cry from the reaction of a well-adjusted individual who is willing to do what it takes to get their fiance/spouse permanent residency. Are any of us happy with the system? No. But it's much more effective for us to deal with it, educate whoever we can, then protest after the fact (our futures are at stake, after all) or while stuck in name check. My own father had no idea what it takes, and was shocked - I tell whoever will listen what some people are put through, because our journey was rather painless aside from the expenses.

The best thing you can do at the moment is educate yourself, read the guides, ask productive questions about where this goes or when this is done or this or that - the kind of dialog opened with featherB. Positive energy bears more positive energy, and negative energy just builds on existing negative energy.

Now you tell us you are rich & don't care about fees. One might not have to wonder too much why your first overseas marriage didn't work....

Ah, a lie and then a personal attack.

Relatively well off does not mean "rich" or "don't care about fees". Oh, and I'll insult INS any time they deserve it. As for not doing research, why yes... I'm just totally making everything up.

Anyway, thanks to the folks who've offered good advice. For those who wish to meekly submit to bureaucratic authoritarianism... well, good luck. It's certainly the path of least resistance.

Sorry for the hubbub, Cat lady.

I'm off to absorb more abuse from Joy.

Okay. I can't see this progressing any way but even further downhill so I'm going to lock it.

Thanks.
