Re: Leaving the USA... possible to keep permanent resident card alive?

Re: Need some opinion - a family meltdown....

I think he did feel abandoned back then, that's fair to point out. I apologized to him for whisking his mother off to the UK. But he admitted it was for the best at the time, and was glad I took care...

Re: Need some opinion - a family meltdown....

Thanks all for the advice. This situation has stressed me out and really stressed out my wife, to the extent of her having nightmares!

To add something in sympathy to Son C, when he was an adult...

Thanks guys, all good info. If I don't have to waste money on a clunky converter then that's a plus. We have the cat booked in Sat to start the pet passport process, and I've contacted PBS freight...
