Stress taking its toll

[Ron/Sharon 0]

Here goes my piece:

First, we are both devastated that amazing people like you have to go through all this shite because of Debbie's idiocy and MTL's stupidity and lack of common sense. It is unacceptable and that witch just gets off humiliating people (probably the only way she gets off) - but that's another story. Karma is a boomerang, I tell you.

Now, with all this that is going on, I am very impressed (and my man, I don't get impressed that easy) with your decency, your determination, inner strength and most of all, the unbreakable bond that Sharon and you have --- THAT is priceless and it will carry you guys further than you think or can comprehend. I hope the job thing gets solved (someone like Sharon should not have a prob getting a new gig), and that Washington gets cracking.

Now comes my usual bad advise: make noise my friend, make a lot of freaking noise ----- including the media, your government officials, God, etc.

And remember, this too shall pass.

Your friends, Lenina & Bren.

Lenina and you also Bren, thank you very much you have always been there when needed, you are beyond being special people.

I don't write to devastate anyone or give them a bad day by reading what I write, to me this therapy in the larger sense of the word. Ok, I'm also not happy with Debbie and the other person that said the opposite of what Debbie said without taking immediate action on my part, but that is in the past and now we have given Washington a chance to redeem their Cos in Montreal and we shall see what happens. I'm sure that Debbie was having a bad day because Melissa met her today and had a good time with her even joking maybe I reminded her of her father, who knows.

Sharon and I have been through HeII and came back before Debbie was even in the picture, what we have no-one will take from us or ever tarnish in the slightest way. We have taken 3 years to know each other before filing for the visa. Our biggest disappointment was not getting it at the interview but that doesn't mean we will never get it and if we don't there are always other options available but first we need to exhaust this one. I personally would like to see Debbie relegated to a back room at the consulate, I think Sharon would to see her moved to a foreign land.

Right now Sharon is having a meeting with her boss, I won't know anything until she calls me later. She still has doubts about leaving so I told her to keep her health at the top of any list she has and not accept anything that is not good for her long term.

I love bad advice it happens to be the best coming at the right time but at this time I will stick with God and the government officials, we are preparing packages for Sharon's Senator, the Consul General and the Ambassador the Consul General's boss. The media which in the scheme of things should be first will be our last step if and when Sharon comes here. I know of one reporter that make public servant shudder at the mention of her name and she would love a story regarding American immigration policy even if it were just one persons story.

Love you both take care

On my end I don't write a lot on your posts, but I do read them all and I feel very sorry for what is happening to you two. Everything is so unfair givne the fact that you were the most honest person in the world, and they had no reasons to deny everything like this. I hope someone is gonna give you a hand and make the right decision.

I admire your strenght and all I hope is for one day read that they finally gasve you the Visa. You deserve it so much, and it's not fair that you cannot be with Sharon while she is going through hard times.

I hope that everything is going to turn good for you

Thank you for taking the time to write and for reading what I write it is appreciated even if you don’t answer everything. Montreal can’t continue to tell their boss we passed everyone because they would be told they aren’t doing their job right, we just happened to be there on a bad day at the consulate since Sharon and I were not the only ones refused the visa that day. We gave them what they asked for and the truth is that if they wanted the waiver for the criminal offence and asked for I would have done what they asked without as peep but having written in my file that I smelt of alcohol and it was thought that I was drinking before the interview also noted in the file that was the thing that really bugged me to no end because I am sure those two notations were the only reason the visa was refused. I am hoping that someone in Washington will view what was sent to them and call for the files from Montreal to see what is written in there and question the reasoning for it and correct it

It is more determination to clear myself of the accusation than strength that keeps me going and I also hope that the visa will be our soon. Being apart from Sharon right now is a difficult time since she needs more than words heard over a telephone which is al she is getting right now. The only good thing that has happened for us came by way of her father passing away and that was getting permission at a POE to go to the States for the funeral even if it was just for 7 days of which 4 were travelling time we still had 3 busy days together, our only days together in over a year.

The good news is that Sharon spent three hours with her boss and came home with something she can deal with that will benefit many others 4 days on and 3 off for a 40 hour week instead of the 65 to 70 hours she was working and by getting this she has also affected the hours other managers will be working. She also got a 48 hour week for the day managers instead of a 56 hour week. The managers are all salaried people not hourly which add to everyone’s bottom line.

Sharon wants me to say hello to everyone and thank you for the support you have given us and the support given as she made this decision.

The meeting was productive, then!! Good for her -- tell that girl that we love her a bunch... or that the crazy bunch loves her!!!!

I'm glad that Sharon got something she can deal with. It's not a coincidence that you've said it will benefit others. That's what you two are always doing...helping others.

Give Sharon our love. She's one heck of a lady!

The meeting was productive for all the managers, for Sharon and the other manager that works with her they will get more time off and work 25 to 30 less hours every week. the other managers will aslo work 11 less hours per week. Sharon did ring up a lot of things that she saw was wrong and she was listened to and further changes will come but a bit slower. I will tell her but I'm trying to get her to do some of her own talking (typing) here she has a voice and should be heard and the support here would do her wonders.

Good for you guys! I think this will most benefit the two of you!

Hi Lynette, I hope everything is going well for you and your family, I guess Ed is happy now that you can drive yourself around, a little independence doesn't hurt does it.

Ours is a battle that is shared by many more in other forums, they aslo are going through things and I hope they have the same support that Sharon and I are getting. The battle with the USCIS is that will be for a while longer and we are ready for that, it is the other things that life throws our way that we are concentrating on now as we wait for news from the others. Nothing is affecting the love we have just our patience as for the battle with USCIS I am making a list of those able to help and those that need to be told that thing are not right under their watch. Thank you for te prayer

I sure hope the consulate doesn't ask what kind Sharon like, I would be denied, but I will have some Heavenly Hash, and I think Sharon would love some French Vanilla.

That made coffee come out of my nose. (Heh, I'm glad the door to my office is closed; I would not really want to have to explain what was so funny....)

It also made me want some icecream (Sharon has excellent taste in ice cream, by the way), but that almost goes without saying since, well, almost anything can make me want ice cream (or pizza or cheesecake or... well, you get the picture).

I am glad to hear that Sharon was able to work out a more reasonable arrangement at work! That's wonderful news -- AND good for her for speaking up about it.
