Ah geez girl, why've you been keeping this to yourself? We're expert worriers here and happy to help you carry the load! :wub:

We'll work it out, one step at a time. First things first, go get those results next week & find out where YOU are at. The rest will come in its time and we've got lots of researchers on the case now.

The thing about the means-tested benefits is that each state and even each agency inside a state can choose how to interpret/apply those rules WRT new immigrants. As you've already found out, some things, some states choose to just cover without fault & it's not an automatic the Sponsor is asked to repay. (it's not horrible everywhere for everything here, people.. a little compassion does exist).

I'll get on the details tomorrow; for tonight, rest your head and let us share your burden.
xxx :wub:

My life to date in the USA has not been the smoothest of paths however, I've always considered myself fairly tough and resilient - even when faced with the most adverse of circumstances ( and lord knows the last three years have tested that! lol) I recall my first post on this board (when I was all bright eyed and doe tailed), sure I knew it wasn't going to be easy but my ignorance of just how hard it could be makes it embarrassing reading now :o You live and you learn - and one of the many things I am grateful for is that members of this board give time out of their lives to help others (just like they helped me) to make that rocky path a bit more easier to travel.

When someone on this board offers their advice / support / help (as so many of you have not just to myself and hubby but others having problems ) I KNOW it's sincere, none of that 'have a nice day' fakeness. We may just be pixels in a cyber world but we are all real people and that comes across so strongly especially at times like this. Thank you all for your support, thank you for being there for us, and most of all thank you making this difficult time a lot more easier to cope with. :wub:

You can be rest assured that we are all routing for you. Yes you may be pixels but as Ray would say...you are our pixel.

Remember we are always here for you...24/7. So whenever you want to moan, chat, laugh or cry...just log on and let rip.

I wish you the very best of luck, Songbird! My thoughts are with you. You WILL get good results 2/18; don't stress yourself out until then.

I was feeling particularly stressed and sorry for myself this morning. Had the high of getting our visas in London yesterday but woke up on a real low this morning at home. I read your post and I am grateful to you for reminding me that there are so many others out there with genuine things to be stressed and worried about. I hope things work out for you both and my thoughts are with you from all this distance away!
